Para Mais Ninguém
Marisa Monte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eu não sei o que é que você tem
Que não me beija nem me procura
Eu tenho medo de perder alguém
De quem espero que aquela jura
Não tenha ido para mais ninguém
O silêncio é uma tortura
Você já não me olha como antes com ternura
Só falta me dizer adeus
In Marisa Monte's song Para Mais Ninguém, the singer is expressing their fear of losing someone they love. They are pleading for sincerity between them, but they feel a distance growing between them and their partner. They don't understand why their partner won't kiss them or seek them out, and this lack of affection is causing them anxiety. They hope that the promise their partner made to them hasn't been given to someone else.
The silence between them is unbearable for the singer, who senses that something important has been lost between them. They feel that their partner no longer looks at them with the same tenderness they once did, and the only thing left is for them to say goodbye. The lyrics convey the sadness and uncertainty of the situation, as the singer struggles to come to terms with the possibility of losing their loved one.
