The song "Someone" by Dori Caymmi is about longing and the search for someone special who can make life complete. The first two verses describe a sense of distance or separation between the singer and the person they are speaking to. The bridge expresses a feeling of hopelessness or futility, as though no matter how hard the singer tries, they will never be able to reach the person they long for. The chorus repeats the theme of searching and hoping for someone who can complete their life. The final verses offer an expression of faith in time as the greatest healer, and a recognition of the fear under which many people live when they feel they are in danger of losing something or someone important to them.

You,
Well you can't touch me
And I can't speak now
It's the only way.
You are unable to reach me and I am unable to speak now, that's the only way.
Breath,
When you left me gasping
In need of something
Just to mend your ways.
I was left breathless when you left me and I needed something to heal my pain and help me move on.
But no matter how I try
I feel like I will fail
When there's only one way out
But for me it's just the same. Yeah
Even if I try my best, I feel like I am going to fail because I have only one way out, which is also meaningless to me.

I cannot understand why Dori's music does not get more air play in the U.S.
He is truly unique and a genuine true treasure of Brasil.
Sergio Ricardo Ferraz Esteves
benthead I agree!! In fact he does not play much here in Brazil. Many do not know who he is. This is very sad!

Super swing and harmony. Obrigado por compartilhar.

He's incredible. It's too bad people don't know about the amazing music of Brazil. Dori Caymmi, Ivan Lins, Marcos Valle, Taiguara, Clube da Esquina, etc.
