Desafio
Kiloucura Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mas tenho coisas para te dizer
Que estão na garganta
Há 5 anos, tanto tempo
E eu ainda assim
Tive chances de falar
Mas ao te ver, parei
Quero que você saiba o que
Eu sinto, você foi especial
Não durou tanto, porém marcou minha vida
Você é especial pra mim
The lyrics to Kiloucura's song Desafio convey a message of regret and missed opportunities to express one's true feelings. The first two lines suggest that the singer has something important to say, but hasn't found the words until now. The next two lines reveal that it has been five years since the singer last saw the person they are addressing, and that they had several chances to speak up but didn't due to pride or fear. The last four lines express the singer's desire to let this person know that they were special and made an impact on their life.
The song captures the universal experience of wanting to open up to someone but feeling constrained by emotional barriers. The lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and authenticity that many people can relate to, making it a heartfelt and emotional song. The use of intimate and introspective language, such as "estão na garganta" ("are in my throat"), adds depth and poignancy to the lyrics. The theme of unspoken emotions and missed opportunities is a common one in music, but Kiloucura's Desafio finds a fresh and relatable way to express it.

Vai parecer meio estranho
I know this may seem strange
Mas tenho coisas para te dizer
But there are things I need to say to you
Que estão na garganta
That are stuck in my throat
Há 5 anos, tanto tempo
It's been five years, so long
E eu ainda assim
And yet, even so
Tive chances de falar
I've had chances to speak up
Mas ao te ver, parei
But when I saw you, I stopped
Fui calado pelo orgulho
Silenced by my pride
Quero que você saiba o que
I want you to know what
Eu sinto, você foi especial
I feel, you were special
Não durou tanto, porém marcou minha vida
It didn't last long, but it left a mark on my life
Você é especial pra mim
You're special to me
