O TEMPO É SUA MORADA :: celebrar
Francisco el hombre Lyrics

The lyrics of "O TEMPO É SUA MORADA :: celebrar" by Francisco el Hombre speak of a deep sense of loss and nostalgia, contrasted with a determination to celebrate and remember someone or something that has been taken away by the wind (represented metaphorically as the passage of time).

The opening lines describe the feeling of having memories stitched onto the chest, fresh in the mind. The image of warm bread on the table with its aroma drifting up the stairs suggests a comforting and familiar home environment. However, despite waking up, there is a sense of emptiness and not seeing anything, perhaps implying the absence of the person or thing being remembered. The repeated phrase "O tempo é sua morada" (Time is your dwelling place) signifies that time has become a place or a home where the lost individual or thing now resides.

The following verses continue to express the bond and connection between the singer and the absent presence. The mention of a skirt with zig-zag stitches and the act of drinking black coffee and smoking a cigarette indicate personal rituals and familiar habits. The echoing laughter and singing throughout the house emphasize the presence of the individual, echoing even in their absence. The refrain "Se o vento te levou" (If the wind took you) repeats as a reminder of the loss and the final realization that time is where this absence now exists.

The lyrics then take a turn towards acceptance and healing. The declaration of not carrying pain and sadness and laying all the cards on the table suggests a willingness to confront and overcome the grief. The idea that every feather eventually passes and love becomes certainty conveys a sense of hope and resilience. The repeated phrase "Não vou esquecer, vou te celebrar" (I won't forget, I will celebrate you) reinforces the determination to remember and honor the person or thing that has been lost.

Overall, "O TEMPO É SUA MORADA :: celebrar" explores the emotions surrounding loss, nostalgia, and the passage of time, while also expressing a desire to celebrate and remember what has been taken away. It captures the complexity of these feelings and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of loss.
