olhos de Ísis
Jorge Vercillo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Alguém me sorriu assim
E o tempo deixou pra trás
Passou tão perto de mim
Visão que não se desfaz
Alguém me sorriu assim
Com olhos de nunca mais
Mas vive dentro de mim
E dentro de si me traz

Foi um minuto somente
Um oculto presente pra mim
Foi a primeira metade
De eternidade sem fim

Os anos passaram-se
A vida me leva e traz
E ainda não esqueci
Seus olhos de nunca mais

Ei, ei, ei
Ei, ei, ei
Ei, ei, ei

Foi um minuto somente
Um oculto presente pra mim
Foi a primeira metade
De eternidade sem fim

Alguém me sorriu assim
E o tempo deixou pra trás
Passou tão perto de mim
Visão que não se desfaz

Os anos passaram-se
A vida me leva e traz
E ainda não esqueci
Seus olhos de nunca mais

Ei, ei, ei
Ei, ei, ei




Ei, ei, ei
Ei, ei, ei

Overall Meaning

In Jorge Vercillo's song 'Olhos de Ísis,' the singer reflects on a chance encounter with someone who gave him a fleeting but unforgettable moment. This person smiled at him in a way that felt like he would never see them again. Although time has passed, the memory still lingers in his mind as a significant moment that he cannot seem to forget. The smile he received was almost too good to be true, a momentary hidden gift that he will cherish for a long time. The lyrics "foi a primeira metade de eternidade sem fim," or "it was the first half of endless eternity," suggests that the brief encounter felt like an interruption of eternity, a glimpse into what he could never have, but that would stay with him forever.


The use of an Egyptian name, Ísis, in the song's title, and the lyrics "com olhos de nunca mais," or "with never-again eyes," suggest that the encounter was mystical and almost spiritual. The singer is taken by how the person seemed to present something that could not come back, something that was otherworldly and mysterious. The song ends with the repetition of the line, "sei que não esqueci, seus olhos de nunca mais," or "I know I haven't forgotten your never-again eyes," emphasizing how the memory of the encounter has become a permanent part of the singer's life, and they treasure it.

Alguém me sorriu assim
Someone smiled at me like that


E o tempo deixou pra trás
And time left it behind


Passou tão perto de mim
It happened so close to me
