Pequenos Olhos
Cibelle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pequenos olhos
Pequenas amêndoas, pequenos olhos
Me aguardam, me agarram na última hora
Agora adeus os meus braços e olhos rasos d'água
Meu adeus

Saudade, meu
Saudade entrego adeus
Saudade, meu
Saudade entrego adeus

Pequenos olhos
Pequenas amêndoas, pequenos olhos
Me aguardam, me agarram na última hora
Agora adeus os meus braços e olhos rasos d'água
Meu adeus

Saudade, meu
Saudade entrego adeus
Saudade, meu
Saudade entrego adeus
Saudade, meu
Saudade entrego adeus

Vamos ser da mesma boca
A mesma oca cheia de sal cheio de sol
O sal do mar e a luz
Vamos de sol pra dourar

O que há de bom, o que há de bom tom
Como se beijar a sós sem que os olhos vejam
E escancarar a cor ali vamos ser de um só

Um, meu bem e bem aqui




Na boca do estômago que arrepia
Que esfria vamos ser da boca do sol

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Pequenos Olhos" by Cibelle talk about the pain of saying goodbye to someone with whom the singer has a deep emotional connection. The song starts with a description of small almond-shaped eyes waiting and grasping the singer at the last minute. The singer then bids farewell to "my arms and eyes full of water" suggesting that they are crying before they even leave. The repeated phrase "Saudade, meu Saudade" emphasizes the feeling of nostalgia and longing for someone who is no longer present. The second verse tells of a desire to be in perfect harmony with someone ("let's be of the same mouth") and to bask in the sun and salt. This is juxtaposed with the sadness of saying farewell that is described so poignantly in the first verse.


The song conveys the complexities of human emotions and the painful experience of saying goodbye to a loved one. The use of simple, almost childlike language to describe the eyes, amandos and olhos, allow the pain to be accentuated. The repeated phrase in the chorus is a testament to the depth of one's emotions and how, through the use of simple words, one can express feelings of profound love and longing, even after the person has left.
