A Lua e Eu
Nana Caymmi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
E nem sequer ouvi falar seu nome, a lua e eu
Caminhando pela estrada
Eu olho em volta e sу vejo pegadas
Mas nгo sгo as suas eu sei,
Eu sei, eu sei
O vento faz eu lembrar vocк
As folhas caem mortas como eu
Estou ficando velho e acabado
Procuro encontrar
Nгo sei onde estб vocк
Vocк vocк....
O Vento faz eu lembrar vocк
As folhas caem mortas como eu...
A lua e eu
In Nana Caymmi's song "A Lua E Eu," the singer reflects on the passing of another year without hearing from the person she still longs for. She walks along the road, and all she sees are footsteps, none of which are his. The wind reminds her of him, and the falling leaves make her feel as though she too is slowly fading away. She looks at herself in the mirror and sees an aging, tired person. She searches for him, but she doesn't know where he is.
The lyrics convey a sense of loss and longing, of a missed connection, and the uncertainty of the future. The moon is a constant presence in the song, as if it is watching over her, or perhaps serving as a symbol of something that is constant, even when everything else changes.
The song's delicate melody and Nana Caymmi's soulful vocals add to the melancholic and introspective feel of the lyrics, making it a poignant reflection on love, loss, and the passage of time.

Mais um ano se passou
Another year has gone by
E nem sequer ouvi falar seu nome, a lua e eu
And I haven't even heard your name, just me and the moon
Caminhando pela estrada
Walking down the road
Eu olho em volta e só vejo pegadas
I look around and all I see are footprints
Mas não são as suas eu sei,
But they're not yours, I know
Eu sei, eu sei
I know, I know
O vento faz eu lembrar você
The wind reminds me of you
As folhas caem mortas como eu
The leaves fall dead, just like me
Quando olho no espelho
When I look in the mirror
Estou ficando velho e acabado
I'm getting old and worn out
Procuro encontrar
I try to find
Não sei onde está você
I don't know where you are
Você você....
You you...
A lua e eu
Just me and the moon
