Aquela Velha Canção
Marisa Monte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Não diga que estou enganado, estou resolvido
Vou dar férias pro meu coração
Confesso que fiquei magoado, eu fiquei zangado
Mas agora passou, esqueci
Eu não vou te mandar pro inferno porque eu não quero
E porque fica muito longe daqui
Pra te desnortear, te ferir com carinho
É pra fazer doer no seu ouvido, a nota melhor do nosso amor
Quando eu te ligar cantando aquela canção
Não diga que não sente nada
É pra fazer doer no seu ouvido, a nota melhor do nosso amor
Alô, a lua, alô, amor
Alô, a lua, alô, a lua, amor
Alô, a lua, alô, amor
Alô, a lua, alô, a lua, amor
The lyrics of Marisa Monte's song "Aquela Velha Canção" depict a complicated and perhaps destructive romantic relationship. The singer of the song has decided to call their ex-partner and sing them an old love song, despite feeling hurt and angry about the past. However, they have also made peace with their emotions and are resolved to give their heart a break. The lyrics express an oddly sadistic desire to "hurt with tenderness" and make the ex-partner feel the pain of their lost love. The repeated lines of "alô, a lua, alô, amor" seem to add to the melancholic and nostalgic tone of the song.
The song touches on themes of nostalgia, heartbreak, and the complicated nature of romantic relationships. The lyrics seem to suggest that the singer has not been able to move on from their past love, and is using the song as a means of expressing complicated feelings, both positive and negative. The song's title, "Aquela Velha Canção," translates to "That Old Song," emphasizing the idea of nostalgia and reflecting on the past. Overall, the song is a poignant depiction of the depth and complexity of human emotions, particularly when it comes to love.

Quando eu te ligar cantando aquela velha canção
When I call you singing that old song
Não diga que estou enganado, estou resolvido
Don't say I'm wrong, I'm resolved
Vou dar férias pro meu coração
I'm giving my heart a break
Confesso que fiquei magoado, eu fiquei zangado
I confess I was hurt, I was angry
Mas agora passou, esqueci
But now it's over, I forgot
Eu não vou te mandar pro inferno porque eu não quero
I'm not sending you to hell because I don't want to
E porque fica muito longe daqui
And because it's too far away from here
Quando eu te ligar cantando aquela canção
When I call you singing that song
Pra te desnortear, te ferir com carinho
To confuse you, to hurt you with tenderness
É pra fazer doer no seu ouvido, a nota melhor do nosso amor
It's to make the best note of our love hurt your ear
Não diga que não sente nada
Don't say you don't feel anything
Alô, a lua, alô, amor
Hello, moon, hello, love
Alô, a lua, alô, a lua, amor
Hello, moon, hello, moon, love
Alô, a lua, alô, amor
Hello, moon, hello, love
Alô, a lua, alô, a lua, amor
Hello, moon, hello, moon, love
