Déjà Vu
Denis Graça Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Djan bem dze bu
Cum senti quant un ta pensa
Na nos dos no k no tinha e o k no já passa
Bo era tudo quel k und deus pa mi
Agora n ta li so
Mi so nes solidão

And I need somebody

When you love somebody
You are lose somebody
When you heart somebody

Hooo déjà vu
Déjà vu... Déjà vu... Déjà vu

Djan tenta viver sem bo ma in ca consegui
Es ta diz luta contra amor
É un caso perdido
Nhas amigos sentad dizen pa largam de amor
Ma é fácil falar se bo ca ta ama

And I need somebody
When you love somebody
You are lose somebody
When you heart somebody

Hooo déjà vu
Déjà vu... Déjà vu... Déjà vu

Déjà vu... Déjà vu... Déjà vu

Overall Meaning

In “Deja Vu” by Denis Graça, the song talks about the feeling of longing for someone who was once a significant part of their lives. The song opens up with the artist reminiscing about how his significant other was all that mattered to him and how things have changed. He sings about feeling lonely because he no longer has that person in his life. He needs somebody to fill that void in his life but it’s hard to move on when he still loves that person.

The chorus of the song repeats the phrase “deja vu,” which could be interpreted in two different ways. Firstly, it could mean that the artist is having flashbacks and memories of the past with that person - essentially reliving the same experiences (deja vu). Secondly, it could mean that the artist is currently in the same situation as he was before - falling in love, losing that love, and ending up alone. This reinforces the idea that his life is a never-ending cycle - experiencing the same thing again and again. The song ends with the artist still stuck in his feelings, yearning for that person he used to love.
