Angela
João Bosco & NDR Bigband Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ângela
Por que tão triste assim
Agora
E tudo quanto existe chora
Teu rosto na janela
Daquele avião
Lá embaixo a Terra
É um mapa
Que agora uma nuvem tapa
Não tentes evitar a dor
Misteriosamente
Está tão diferente

Ângela
A face singular
De Ângela
Enquanto nos surpreende o amor
Oh, Ângela

Súbito
Eu vejo em minha frente
Ângela
Misteriosamente
Ângela
Enquanto nos surpreende o amor




Oh, Ângela
Oh, Ângela

Overall Meaning

The song "Angela" by João Bosco & NDR Bigband is a beautifully melancholic and introspective piece that reflects on the pain of separation and the complexities of love. The lyrics express concern for a woman named Angela who appears to be deeply sad, and the singer reflects on the sorrow present in all things, including the Earth and the clouds that obscure it from view. The pain is unavoidable and mysterious, and although Angela's singular face surprises us with the power of love, it is still a difficult emotion to contend with.


Ultimately, the song seems to be about the power of memory and the attempt to hold onto something that is slipping away. The mention of Angela's face on the window of a plane suggests a physical distance between her and the singer, as well as a sense of longing and loss. The misty and unclear nature of the world below underscores the sense of uncertainty and confusion that accompanies transitions and shifts in our lives. Despite the sadness and confusion present in the lyrics, there is also a sense of hope and beauty in the power of love to surprise and delight us.
