Rio
Carte postale Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
oh my baby baby I'm begging you to stay...
Ηold my hand and we can walk away
looking into your eyes so I can see you pray...
In Carte Postale's song Rio, the lyrics focus on the intense emotions of love and separation. The opening lines speak to the reality of a great physical distance being placed between two lovers, as the train is departing and taking one of them far away. The singer is desperate for their partner to stay, pleading for them to stay with them. The repetition of "oh my baby baby" emphasizes the depth of the singer's emotions and the urgency of their request.
The following lines suggest a solution to the moment of separation: holding hands and walking away together. Through this gesture, the singer wants to communicate a sense of unity and mutual support, providing comfort in the face of distance and uncertainty. The final line speaks to the power of prayer, perhaps indicating that the singer is hoping that something beyond their control will bring them together again. The song as a whole is a powerful expression of love and the pain of separation, all the while featuring an uplifting melody that adds momentum to the singer's plea.

Σε πιάνει μια νοσταλγία... για ωραίες αναμνήσεις που παρόλο που ανήκουν στο παρελθόν, κλείνοντας τα μάτια και ακούγοντας αυτού του είδους μουσική.. Μπορείς ακόμα να ελπίζεις!

Very underrated song, i think it deserves more attention. At least from the non-rotten ones.
