Desejo
Chitãozinho & Xororó Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

No escuro do quarto
Eu arrisco um abraço
E nada
No silêncio, sem jeito
Te peço um beijo
E nada
Você vira de costas
Se diz indisposta

É melhor nem tentar insistir
Com desejo aceso
Só vejo você dormir

Nos lençois de cetim
Sua boca carmim
Eu quero
E no despertar
Nessa sede de amar
Te espero
Fica só na promessa
Me diz que tem pressa
Que é melhor eu deixar pra depois
Com desejo aceso só fico
Pensando em nós dois

Quero seu amor como era antes
De novo dois amantes
Em busca de aventuras
Com sede de paixão
Quero seu amor de qualquer jeito
Sem medo ou preconceito

Errado ou direito
Amor de coração

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Desejo" by Chitãozinho & Xororó speak about unrequited and unfulfilled desire. The singer is in a dark room with his partner and tries to embrace her, but she does not respond. He then asks for a kiss, but she turns her back and tells him she's not interested. Despite his strong desire to be intimate with her, he cannot act on it as he sees her sleeping, and she seems disinterested.

The second verse talks about how he wants to experience their passion again, like they used to when they were young lovers. He longs to take their relationship to new heights and is thirsty for love. However, again, his partner does not reciprocate, only making empty promises of future intimacy. The singer sings that he wants their love without any boundaries or limitations, and he wants it from the heart.

Overall, the lyrics portray a desperate yearning for love and passion that is not being acknowledged. The singer is left feeling frustrated and unfulfilled in his relationship, where his desires are not met.

No escuro do quarto
I'm in the dark room

Eu arrisco um abraço
I take a risk to embrace you

E nada
But nothing happens

No silêncio, sem jeito
In the silence, I'm awkward

Te peço um beijo
I ask you for a kiss

E nada
But nothing happens

Você vira de costas
You turn your back

Se diz indisposta
You say you're not feeling well

É melhor nem tentar insistir
It's better not to try and insist

Com desejo aceso
But with my desire still burning

Só vejo você dormir
I can only see you sleeping
