Round Midnight
Helio Delmiro Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It begins to tell
'Round midnight, midnight
I do pretty well, till after sundown
Suppertime I'm feelin' sad
But it really gets bad
'Round midnight

Memories always start 'round midnight
Haven't got the heart to stand those memories
When my heart is still with you
And ol' midnight knows it, too
When a quarrel we had needs mending
Does it mean that our love is ending
Darlin' I need you, lately I find
You're out of my heart
And I'm out of my mind

Let our hearts take wings'
'Round midnight, midnight
Let the angels sing
For your returning
Till our love is safe and sound
And old midnight comes around
Feelin' sad




Really gets bad
Round, Round, Round Midnight

Overall Meaning

In Helio Delmiro's song Round Midnight, the lyrics center around the conflicting emotions of heartbreak and love. The song begins with the singer describing how he does pretty well until after sundown, but supper time brings sadness that becomes worse as the night wears on, "round midnight." Memories of lost love flood back during this time, making the singer feel even more alone. The imagery of midnight being aware of the singer's heartache underscores the depth of his heartbreak.


The second verse is particularly poignant, as the singer wonders if a quarrel they had means that their love is ending. He makes it clear that he needs the other person in his life, and lately has felt as if they're out of his heart and he's out of his mind. The chorus offers a glimmer of hope, with the singer imagining a time when their love is safe and sound, and old midnight no longer brings feelings of sadness and heartbreak.


Overall, Delmiro's song Round Midnight is a beautiful, emotional tribute to the power of love and the pain of heartbreak, and is a testament to the power of music to express deep, complex emotions.

It begins to tell
The story begins


'Round midnight, midnight
Around midnight, when everything is dark and quiet


I do pretty well, till after sundown
I feel fine until the sun goes down


Suppertime I'm feelin' sad
I feel sad during dinner time


But it really gets bad
My sadness worsens


'Round midnight
Around midnight, my sadness reaches its peak


Memories always start 'round midnight
I always remember memories around midnight


Haven't got the heart to stand those memories
These memories are too painful to bear


When my heart is still with you
When I'm still in love with you


And ol' midnight knows it, too
Even midnight can feel my pain


When a quarrel we had needs mending
When we need to make up after a fight


Does it mean that our love is ending
I worry that our love is coming to an end


Darlin' I need you, lately I find
I need you more than ever, I've realized recently


You're out of my heart
I've stopped loving you


And I'm out of my mind
I'm going crazy without you


Let our hearts take wings'
Let's get back together


'Round midnight, midnight
Around midnight, when our love is rekindled


Let the angels sing
Let the heavens celebrate our reunion


For your returning
Because you're coming back to me


Till our love is safe and sound
Until our love is strong and secure again


And old midnight comes around
And when it's around midnight again


Feelin' sad
I still feel sad


Really gets bad
My sadness is unbearable


Round, Round, Round Midnight
The endless cycle of my sadness around midnight

Hélio Delmiro, o maior guitarrista do mundo! Que sotaque!!!!!! É o jazz puro! Que sensibilidade em conectar frases em harmonias tão complexas, e ao mesmo tempo, sem ser clichê. Quando se ouve o mestre improvisar, nada é óbvio! Não há frases prontas, em II V I. O mais alto nível que a guitarra jazz brasileira chegou. Eterno mestre Hélio Delmiro, com quem já tive o privilégio de tê-lo tocando All the things you are, dentro do meu carro.

Helio Lago

Lindíssimo!! Acho que fui talvez o que mais pediu o Hélio para ser entrevistado. Comecei a ouví-lo no começo dos meus estudos musicais. Agora só falta o grandíssimo Egberto Gismonti.
