It came to life in 2006, by the hands of 4 young musicians with diverse musical backgrounds and experiences (such as classical music, jazz, ethnical and traditional music), searching to recreate a sound rooted in popular music through the crossing of different musical languages and musical research serving as a base for the group's original compositions. Their first album - Canção ao Lado was released in 2008.
"...Her name is Deolinda and she is old enough to realize that life isnt as easy as it seems. Merrily unmarried, in love and out of love, born in Lisbon, she inhabits a ground floor apartment somewhere in the suburbs of the capital. She writes her own songs by peeking through the curtains of her window, drawing inspiration from the old gramophone records that once belonged to her grandmother and by the bizarre and strange life of her neighbours. She lives with 2 cats and a gold fish..."

Não Ouviste Nada
Deolinda Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Traiu e agora está só
Fica entre nós
Eu não disse nada
Parece que a relação
Já não andava bem
Eu não te contei
Não ouviste nada
Parece que ela cismou
Que ele andava a trair com uma
Outra qualquer
Uma outra mulher
Que por vê-lo infeliz
Dele se apiedou
É aquilo que se diz
Já nem sei quem contou
Não está cá quem falou
Parece que ele, coitado
Até vai viajar
Se alguém perguntar
Eu não disse nada
Por isso até vou com ele
Para ele não ir só
Fica entre nós
Não ouviste nada
Parece que ela cismou
Que ele andava a trair com
Uma outra qualquer
Uma outra mulher
Que por vê-lo infeliz
Dele se apiedou
É aquilo que se diz
Já nem sei quem contou
Não está cá quem falou
Não está cá quem cantou
The song "Não Ouviste Nada" by Deolinda tells the story of a relationship that is falling apart due to infidelity. The singer is privy to the rumors that the man in the relationship cheated and is now alone, but chooses to remain silent about it. The woman in the relationship is suspicious that he was cheating with another woman who took pity on him when she saw he was unhappy. The singer is even willing to go on a trip with the man to make sure he doesn't have to travel alone, but all the while keeping their knowledge of the infidelity to themselves.
The lyrics suggest a sense of loyalty and discretion amidst a situation that could easily cause drama and betrayal. The theme of not speaking up or “not hearing anything” could be interpreted in different ways but could allude to a sense of complicity or cover-up. The singer is caught between loyalty to both parties and chooses not to say anything, allowing the rumors to persist without confirmation. The line, “Não está cá quem falou” (“The one who spoke isn’t here”), may suggest a use of gossip or hearsay to fuel rumors or the possibility of the woman confronting the man about the affair, only to find out that he denies it.
Overall, the song presents a complex narrative of relationships, loyalty, and infidelity, leaving the listener to interpret each detail and add their own meaning to each verse.

She became obsessed with the idea that he was cheating with another woman who showed pity upon him because he was miserable. I don't even know who spread this gossip, and the person who did is not present now.
