Madrugada
Francisco Okabe Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

é que quando anoitece me desce a sensação
do fim
de tudo que hoje começou lá com o sol
quando o sol vira lua sol continua
aqui em mim
o que dá vontade de verdade de dizer

nem preciso dizer nada

da beleza da madrugada
das luzes acesas no céu
sem o som de máquinas ligadas
mas tem algo a mais que faz bem
que mantém a mente acordada
entre questões e conclusões parciais
a paz do que passou
e os sinais do que vem

acho o meu descanso
quando penso e ouço bem

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Francisco Okabe's song "Madrugada" convey a sense of reflection and tranquility that comes during the late hours of the night.

There is a feeling of wanting to express something sincerely, without the need for words. The beauty of the dawn and the serene lights in the sky are emphasized, along with the absence of the noise from machinery. However, there is something more to the night that brings well-being and keeps the mind awake, as it delves into partial questions and conclusions. The peace of what has passed and the signs of what is to come provide a sense of comfort and rest for the singer when they think and listen carefully.
