pela orla dos velhos tempos
Naçăo Zumbi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Já passei por aqui
Com a vista cansada
E a cabeça lotada

Foi não foi, tô esquecido
No frigir já fui passado
Sem imagem e sem som
Vira e mexe tô batido
Bebo, liso e abusado
Já me davam por vencido

Bebo, liso e abusado

Antigamente
Antigamente
Antigamente

Elas vinham e viam
Sorriam e corriam
Mas nada
Nada diziam

Antigamente
Antigamente
Antigamente

Um barulho estrondoso
Que de tão cabuloso
Os ouvido inchava
Enquanto soava
Segurei o juízo
Levantei toda a vista
Olhei reto na vida
E acabei no sentido
É que os olhos não esquecem
Quando a vida aparece
Com uma saudade danada

Bandeei pro inusitado
Pra ver se driblava o acaso
É como Jean-Paul dizia

Antigamente
Antigamente
Antigamente

Antigamente

Antigamente

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Nação Zumbi's "Pela Orla dos Velhos Tempos" is a reflection on life, memories, and nostalgia. The singer has been in this place before, but with tired eyes and a cluttered mind. They feel forgotten, washed up, and without purpose. However, despite this sense of defeat, they continue to go out, drink, and take risks. The repetition of "Antigamente" (which means "in the past" in Portuguese) emphasizes the feeling of nostalgia and reminiscing about the way things used to be.


The singer remembers a time when people would come and go in their life, but they never said anything. This could indicate a sense of loneliness, where the singer struggled to connect with others. However, there was also a time when the noise was overwhelming, and the singer had to hold onto their sanity. Through this experience, the singer learned to look at life with a sense of clarity and to live in the moment, even when memories of the past were overwhelming.


Overall, "Pela Orla dos Velhos Tempos" is a song about the complexities of life, including the highs and lows, the good times and the bad. The singer reflects on their past experiences, acknowledging how they have shaped the person they are today. Through this introspection, they recognize the importance of living in the present, even in the face of memories and nostalgia.

Com a vista cansada
With tired eyes


E a cabeça lotada

Was it? I'm forgetful

I have already been forgotten


Sem imagem e sem som
Without an image or sound


Vira e mexe tô batido
I'm often beaten down


Bebo, liso e abusado
I drink and am bold


Já me davam por vencido
They already counted me out

Elas vinham e viam
They came and went


Sorriam e corriam
They smiled and ran

But nothing

They said nothing

A loud noise


Que de tão cabuloso
So intense


Os ouvido inchava
It swelled my ears


Enquanto soava
As it sounded


Segurei o juízo
I held my thoughts in check


Levantei toda a vista
I looked up all around


Olhei reto na vida
I faced life head-on


E acabei no sentido
And ended up going that way

Because eyes don't forget


Quando a vida aparece
When life shows up


Com uma saudade danada
With a strong sense of nostalgia


Bandeei pro inusitado
I went towards the unexpected


Pra ver se driblava o acaso
To see if I could beat fate


É como Jean-Paul dizia
As Jean-Paul used to say


Antigamente
In the past
