Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

si asa um tivesse
pa voa na esse distancia
si um gazela um fosse
pa corre sem nem um cansera

anton ja na bo seio
um tava ba manche
e nunca mas ausencia
ta ser nos lema

ma so na pensamento
um ta viaja sem medo
nha liberdade um te'l
e so na nha sonho

na nha sonho mieforte
um tem bo protecao
um te so bo carinho
e bo sorriso

ai solidao to'me
sima sol sozim na ceu
so ta brilha ma ta cega
na se clarao
sem sabe pa onde lumia
pa onde bai
ai solidao e un sina...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Cesária Évora's song "Ausência" speak of the pain of being separated from someone you love. The singer wishes that she had wings to fly to her loved one, or that she were a gazelle so that she could run to them without getting tired. She longs to be with her loved one and never have to experience their absence again, but for now, she can only travel to them in her thoughts and dreams. She finds solace in the idea that her loved one is always with her, protecting and comforting her.


The theme of distance and separation is a common one in Cesária Évora's music, reflecting her experiences as a Cape Verdean woman who had to leave her home and loved ones to pursue a career as a singer. The song's slow, mournful melody and Évora's stirring vocals add to the emotional weight of the lyrics, conveying the singer's sense of loss and yearning.

Excelente, Celestial!!! Me encanta Bregovic & Cesarea, hermoooosos!! El comienzo de esta canción era la entrada de la novela chilena Romané, sino me equivoco, hace varios años atrás.
