Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que hб no cйyou
Que hб na terra e no mar
Nasceu talvez da amargura que tens no olhar
No cйyou hб um sol a brilhar
Que beija a terra e o mar
Sу tu continuas assim
Pobre de quem
Vк em tudo a saudade de alguйm
E a esperar
Nem sequer vк a vida passar
Tristeza sу hб no amor
E o mundo comeзa a cantar
Apaga a amargura do teu olhar
The song 'Amargura' by Nana Caymmi speaks about bitterness and sorrow. The lyrics state that all the bitterness in the world, both on land and in the sea, possibly originated from the sorrow in one's own eyes. The words try to calm the person down by telling them that there is a sun shining in the sky that kisses the earth and the sea, but they remain sad and continue to cry at night. It is a message of hope to get over the pain and sadness that they are carrying in their heart.
The song also talks about the melancholy one feels when they see everything and associate it with the memories of someone they miss. The despair of waiting for them without even realizing that life is passing by. It is a reminder that life moves on, and holding onto sadness is pointless. The lyrics state that the only sorrow that exists is in love, but the world must continue to sing and erase the bitterness from one's eyes.
Overall, the song 'Amargura' tells a story of pain and sorrow, but also emphasizes the message of letting go of the past and embracing the present. It tells us that sorrow exists in love, and one should not let it take over their lives as life goes on.

Tinha apenas 18 quando ouvi esta obra-prima da MPB, e nunca mais deixei de ouvir NANA CAYMMI!
Toda amargura
Que há no céu
Que há na terra e no mar
Nasceu talvez da amargura que tens no olhar
No céu há um sol a brilhar
Que beija a terra e o mar
Só tu continuas assim
De noite, a chorar
Pobre de quem
Vê em tudo a saudade de alguém
E a esperar
Nem sequer vê a vida passar
Tristeza só há no amor
E o mundo começa a cantar
Apaga a amargura do teu olhar!! IMPECÁVEL!!! LETRA E ARRANJO!!
