Telegrama
Lulu Santos Lyrics

"Telegrama" by Lulu Santos is a contemplative song that deals with the theme of leaving everything behind and starting anew. The opening lines tell us that the singer is planning to run away and leave everything behind. He doesn't want to take anything with him, but instead wants to start completely fresh with a new beginning. He is willing to leave everything where it is and move forward. He faces darkness in his journey ahead but believes that he will be guided by his own footsteps.

The chorus says, "Você vem comigo, eu te bato um fio e você vem." (You'll come with me, I'll give you a call, and you'll come.) This is a direct reference to the use of telegrams, which were used to send messages quickly, especially in urgent situations. When he wants someone to join him, he'll "give them a call" through a telegram.

The song suggests that sometimes we need a break from our daily lives to find a new way forward. It's important to take the time to reflect and to be willing to take a risk. The use of Telegrams was very popular in Brazil before the advent of cell phones and the internet. The song is nostalgic in its references and speaks to a simpler time when people had different means of communication. Even though the singer is running away, he still wants communication and connection with others, represented by the telegram.
