Fado Perdicao
Cristina Branco Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Este amor não é um rio
Tem a vastidão do mar
A dança verde das ondas
Soluça no meu olhar

Tentei esquecer as palavras
Nunca ditas entre nós
Mas pairam sobre o silencio
Nas margens da nossa voz

Tentei esquecer os teus olhos
Que não sabem ler nos meus
Mas neles nasce a alvorada
Que amanhece a terra e os céus

Tentei esquecer o teu nome
Arrancá-lo ao pensamento
Mas regressa a todo o instante
Entrelaçado no vento

Tentei ver a minha imagem
Mas foi a tua que vi
No meu espelho, porque trago
Os olhos rasos de ti

Este amor não é um rio
Tem abismos como o mar
E o manto negro das ondas
Cobre-me de negro o olhar

Este amor não é um rio
Tem a vastidão do mar

Ta miłość nie jest jak rzeka
Czy bezmiarem morza
Tańcem zielonych fal
Rozwiązaniem w moich oczach

Starałem się zapomnieć słowa
Niewypowiedziane między nami
Ale wisi nad ciszą
Na marginesie nasz głos

Starałem się zapomnieć o Twoich oczach
Które nie potrafią czytać w moich
Ale tam rodzi się świt
Rozświetlajacy ziemię i niebo

Starałem się zapomnieć Twoje imię
Wyrzucić je z myśli
Ale wracała przez cały czas
Spleciona na wietrze

Starałem się zobaczyć mój obraz
Ale to co zobaczyłem było twoim
W moim lustrze, bo niosę
w oczach plytki twe

Ta miłość nie jest jak rzeka
Czy głęboka jak morze
I czarny płaszcz fal
Pokrywa mnie czernią






Ta miłość nie jest jak rzeka
Czy bezmiarem morza

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Cristina Branco's Fado Perdição express the depth and vastness of love that cannot be compared to a river but more to the vastness of the ocean. The green dancing waves that are seen in the ocean are a representation of the emotions that the singer feels. She tries to forget the unspoken words between them but they are always present, hovering in the silence and on the edges of their voices. The singer tries to forget the eyes of her lover that cannot read into hers. However, it is in his eyes that the sunrise comes up to both the earth and the sky. She also tries to forget his name but it always comes back intertwined with the wind. The singer tries to see her reflection but all she sees is his reflection, through her eyes that are full of him. The depth of their love is not one that can just be compared to a river or a simple emotion, but it is vast and deep like the ocean. The weight of their emotions is like the blackness of the waves that cover her eyes.


The message conveyed in the lyrics revolves around a love that is all-consuming, vast, and deep which cannot be compared to a river but more to the ocean. The unspoken words between the lovers also hold weight and the depth of the connection they share is described through the use of vivid imagery. The repetition of trying to forget his name cleverly contrasts the intensity of their love which cannot be disregarded. The ocean imagery of the black waves and the green waves dancing conveys the message that the relationship is multi-faceted, ranging from the beauty of love to the darkness that comes with it.

Μελαγχολική η μουσική και οι στίχοι των "φάντο" - φωνή που μιλά στην ψυχή!! Εξαιρετική δημιουργία, ευχαριστούμε!!

Θάλασσα μαυροθάλασσα

"Συνένοχη στα όνειρά σου και στα ταξίδια της ψυχής, στην κρυμμένη πλευρά του φεγγαριού. Δε θα μαρτυρήσω τη λάμψη απ'το χαμόγελό σου κι ούτε τον όρκο σου στ'αστέρια. Θα παίρνω μόνο τις λέξεις σου όταν θ'απλώνονται στον αέρα που αναπνέω και θα στολίζω τα μονοπάτια της ψυχής για να'ναι τα φιλιά και τα χαμόγελά μου πιο γλυκά.."

Soberbo desempenho de uma das melhores fadistas da atualidade.
Fico grato por poder desfrutar.

Θάλασσα μαυροθάλασσα

Το όνειρο ξημερώνει με τη μέθη της θάλασσας,μ'ένα σύννεφο χαμόγελο, με δάκρυα της βροχής κάτω από την τρυφερή φλόγα τριών κεριών.. φαναράκια που πλέουν πάνω στο κύμα σκορπώντας λάμψεις ρίγη ..τούτη η αγάπη δε μοιάζει με ποταμό έχει την απεραντοσύνη της θάλασσας... Έφτιαξες μουσική,τραγούδι υδάτινο μ'αύρα ψυχής..απέραντα όμορφη η δημιουργία σου Χάρη μου κλείνεται μέσα στην καρδιά...μαζί με όλες εκείνες τις στιγμές,τις πολύτιμες,που χαρίζουν χαμόγελο αληθινής χαράς..:-))*
