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..."

Sem Noção
Deolinda Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Por julgar ter mais do que tem
E não ter a noção de si,
Tu não tens a noção de ti.
Quantas vezes queres e não tens,
Tantas vezes tens e nem tens
A noção do que tens aí.
Tu não tens a noção de ti
E perdeste a noção de mim.
Tu não tens noção do que tens,
De quem és, de quem sou para ti,
Tu perdeste a noção de quem
Gosta de ti.
Gosta de ti,
Sem a noção de que o amor tem
Tantas vezes penso que tens a noção
E a fé nesses bens que deténs só porque enfim,
Tu não tens a noção de mim.
Tantas vezes quis ter também
E aprendi não tendo ninguém,
Só meu que eu devolvi,
Tu não tens a noção de mim
E perdeste a noção de ti.
Tu não tens noção do que tens,
De quem és de quem sou para ti,
Tu perdeste a noção de quem
Gosta de ti.
Gosta de ti,
Sem a noção de que o amor tem
Gosta de ti,
Sem a noção de que o amor tem fim.
Deolinda's song Sem Noção is a reflection on the human tendency to judge others based on superficial appearances, and to lose sight of our own true selves and the people who care about us. The song begins by asking how many times we have judged someone for seeming to have more than they actually do, and for not having a true sense of their own identity. The refrain "tu não tens a noção de ti" ("you don't have a sense of yourself") underscores the theme of losing touch with one's true self.
The song also explores the opposite side of the coin, the tendency to desire things and not appreciate what we already have. The second verse asks how many times we have failed to appreciate the things we already possess, and how often we have taken for granted the people who care about us. The line "tu perdeste a noção de quem gosta de ti" ("you lost sight of who loves you") drives home the point that we can become blind to the people who are most important in our lives.
The final refrain "Gosta de ti, sem a noção de que o amor tem fim" ("Love yourself without realizing that love has an end") brings the song to a bittersweet conclusion, underscoring the fragility of human connection and the need to cherish the relationships we have before they pass us by.

Quantas vezes julgas alguém
How many times do you judge someone?
Por julgar ter mais do que tem
For thinking they have more than they do
E não ter a noção de si,
And not realizing who they really are,
Tu não tens a noção de ti.
You don't realize who you are.
Quantas vezes queres e não tens,
How many times do you want something and not have it?
Tantas vezes tens e nem tens
And how many times do you have something without realizing it?
A noção do que tens aí.
The awareness of what you have right there.
Tu não tens a noção de ti
You don't realize who you are.

E a fé nesses bens que deténs só porque enfim,
And have faith in the possessions you have just because finally,
Tu não tens a noção de mim.
You don't realize who I am.
Tantas vezes quis ter também
So many times I wanted to have as well
E aprendi não tendo ninguém,
And I learned that having no one
Só meu que eu devolvi,
Was better than having something I gave away.
Tu não tens a noção de mim
You don't realize who I am.
E perdeste a noção de ti.
And you've lost sight of who you are.
Tu não tens noção do que tens,

De quem és de quem sou para ti,
Who you are, and who I am to you,
