Sei
José Augusto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Quem sabe do meu coração
Não liga se eu canto baixinho
Seu nome na minha canção
Sei, sei, sei
Quem pode me fazer feliz
Bastava falar eu te amo
Eu
Quero uma noite de estrelas
Prá te confessar que no meu coração
Eu só tenho amor prá te dar
Sei, sei, sei
Você tão distante de mim
Me diz qualquer coisa que seja
Porque eu te amo mesmo assim
Ainda vai voltar prá mim
E diz pro teu coração que não vive sem mim...
The song "Sei" by José Augusto is a heartfelt ballad that speaks about unrequited love, longing, and the power of words left unsaid. The lyrics suggest that the singer is deeply in love with someone who they believe can bring them happiness and joy. The singer feels a strong connection to the person they love, singing about them in their private moments, even though the love is not reciprocated.
In the first verse, the singer sings about their admiration for the person they love, admitting that they can't help but hum their name in their songs. The chorus repeats the word "sei" (I know), indicating that they are aware of their own feelings and what they want.

The bridge of the song is the emotional climax, with the singer admitting their deepest desire: to have a night of stars to confess their love. The last verse is even more powerful as the singer acknowledges the distance between them and their loved one, yet still holds onto hope that they will be reunited. The song ends with the singer urging the love interest to tell their heart that they can't live without them.
Overall, "Sei" is a moving song that captures the complexity of love and the longing for someone who may not feel the same way. The lyrics are simple yet beautiful and convey the emotions of the singer in a poignant way.

Sei
I know
Quem sabe do meu coração
Who knows my heart
Não liga se eu canto baixinho
Doesn't mind if I sing softly
Seu nome na minha canção
Your name in my song
Sei, sei, sei

Quem pode me fazer feliz
Who can make me happy
Bastava falar eu te amo

Could say it, but doesn't
