Caranguejo
Latino Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Era um desejo, um olhar intuitivo
Sonhos incubados de um amor proibido
Um tiro certeiro, uma flecha atirada em meu coração
Que ilusão! Que ilusão!
De repente a gente se apegou num beijo escondidinho
E eu que estava bem, transformei meu destino
Troquei o meu certo por alguém que não me amava
Por um ilusão, sem noção

UôUô
Vai...
Vai na paz e não volta jamais
Quem vive de passado é museu
Caranguejo é quem anda pra trás
Se não deu valor;
Então vai,
Vai na paz e não volta jamais
Quem vive de passado é museu
Caranguejo é quem anda pra trás

Se não deu valor
Então vai...

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are from the Brazilian song Caranguejo (Crab in English) by Latino. The song talks about a love affair that started with a forbidden desire and a hidden kiss. The singer, initially content with his life, changes his fate by choosing someone who doesn't love him back, creating false hope and a delusion. In the chorus, the lyrics advise the singer to move on and not look back, without dwelling on the past, comparing living in the past to a museum and a crab, who walks backward. This suggests that moving forward is essential to emotional and personal growth.
