Saudade
Kiim Venus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
E sem deixar ninguém pra trás
As cicatrizes vão curar
Eu vou me levantar
E eu vou me levantar
E eu vou, sacudir a poeira
Correr tanto até me cansar
Corri a noite inteira
Porque a saudade vai chegar
Se a saudade apertar demais
Lembra dos nosso dias bem lá atrás
Por mais que gente vá se separar
Sei que o nosso laço não vai quebrar
E eu vou, sacudir a poeira
Correr tanto até me cansar
Corri a noite inteira
Porque a saudade vai chegar
The lyrics to Kim Venu's song "Saudade" express the emotions of someone who is trying to move on from a difficult past but cannot escape the feeling of nostalgia that continues to follow them. The song is about recovering from the pain of a past relationship, but not necessarily forgetting it. The opening lines, "Vai melhorar, eu sei que vai" can be translated to mean "it will get better, I know it will" and show that the singer is determined to move on from the past. However, they are also committed to not leaving anyone behind, as shown by the line "E sem deixar ninguém pra trás" ("and without leaving anyone behind").
The lyrics also acknowledge the healing process, and how time can help to heal emotional wounds. "As cicatrizes vão curar" ("the scars will heal") is a message of hope for the future. The chorus, "E eu vou me levantar" ("And I will get up"), is repeated throughout the song, and is a statement of resilience and determination to keep moving forward, even through the difficult times. The lyrics suggest that memories and feelings of saudade (a Portuguese word for a feeling of nostalgic longing) will always be a part of the process of moving on. However, the singer is determined to push through these feelings, running until they can run no more, to continue the healing process.
