Edú Lobo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's all over now
You been gone before
But this time it´s over
There´s no much to say
You're not coming back
You just close the door
Leaving me alone now
Oh was it just a dream
Never really true
Why am I so lonely
Oh so lonely
Please come back to me
Come if it's one more time
Come even just to say
Just to say adeus
Oh was it just a dream
Never really true
Why am I so lonely
Oh so lonely
Please come back to me
Come if it's one more time
Come even just to say
Just to say goodbye
Adeus
To Say Goodbye by Edu Lobo is a poignant ballad that deals with the pain and heartache of a breakup. The lyrics suggest that this is not the first time that the singer has experienced a parting of ways, but this time it feels final. The singer is left alone, with nothing to say to the departed lover. The chorus echoes the sentiment of loneliness and desire for a return by questioning whether the relationship was real or just a dream. The singer is left questioning why they feel so alone and yearning for one last meeting, even if it's just to say goodbye.
The theme of lost love and heartbreak has been a common subject in many ballads, but Edu Lobo's To Say Goodbye stands out for its emotional depth and subtlety. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person grappling with the aftermath of a breakup - the raw pain and the sense of unfinished business that often accompanies such situations. The chorus is particularly powerful, with its haunting refrain that captures the despair and longing of the singer. The use of the word adeus (goodbye) at the end underscores the finality of the breakup, and the fact that things will never be the same again.
