Branco
Joana Espadinha Lyrics

The lyrics to Joana Espadinha's song "Branco" describe the feeling of being overwhelmed by whiteness, both in the physical surroundings ("As paredes estão brancas demais" – "The walls are too white") and in the emotional state of the person being addressed ("E o teu rosto embranqueceu também" – "And your face has also whitened"). The singer is feeling detached and distant, unable to see the other person clearly ("Estou cheia de mim, não te vejo" – "I'm full of myself, I can't see you"), and suspects that this foggy feeling will persist ("E suspeito que esta névoa vai ficar" – "And I suspect that this fog will stay"). The final line, "Quis correr devagar e caí" ("I wanted to run slowly and fell"), reinforces this sense of being stuck or trapped and unable to move forward.
