Aldeia
Natiruts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sei que não é mais o meu lugar
I don't belong here
Não tenho data pra voltar
Saudade da aldeia, com certeza vou chorar
Lembrando da sereia que me ensinou a namorar
Dos amigos do peito, tanta história pra contar
I don't belong here
Sei que não é mais o meu lugar
I don't belong here
Não tenho data pra voltar
E a vida se renova, em cada esquina uma lição
Coragem posta à prova, vou seguir na direção
Da estrada atrás de um sonho que eu nem sei onde vai dar
Mas boto fé que a cada passo que eu der, meu caminho á iluminar
The lyrics of Natiruts's song Aldeia are about feeling out of place and wanting to return to one's roots. The first two lines repeat the statement "I don't belong here", which sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer clearly feels disconnected from their current surroundings and acknowledges that they no longer belong there. The next two lines suggest that the singer longs to return to their ancestral village, which they will likely weep about, recalling the many memories they have there. The singer also remembers fondly the "sereia" who taught them how to love and the close friends they made there who also have stories to tell. Despite wanting to return, the singer doesn't have a set date for when they will go back.
The next verse shifts focus to the future as the singer talks about how life renews itself and how they will continue to learn and grow despite feeling lost. The singer mentions that they will face challenges but they will have the courage to move forward and follow their dreams. The last line indicates the singer's faith that as they take each step, their path will become clearer and illuminated.
Overall, the lyrics of Aldeia are poignant in capturing the feeling of being disconnected from one's present surroundings and the longing to return to one's roots. The song's nostalgic tone speaks to a desire to reconnect with one's past and find meaning in the present.

I don't belong here
I feel out of place
Sei que não é mais o meu lugar
I know this is not where I belong
I don't belong here
I feel out of place
Não tenho data pra voltar
I don't know when I will return
Saudade da aldeia, com certeza vou chorar
I miss my village and will surely cry
Lembrando da sereia que me ensinou a namorar
Remembering the mermaid who taught me to love
Dos amigos do peito, tanta história pra contar
My dear friends, so many stories to tell
O mar, a lua cheia, decidi vou viajar
The sea, the full moon, I've decided to travel
E a vida se renova, em cada esquina uma lição
Life is renewed, every corner holds a lesson
Coragem posta à prova, vou seguir na direção
Courage tested, I will follow my path
Da estrada atrás de um sonho que eu nem sei onde vai dar
On the road chasing a dream whose end I don't know
Mas boto fé que a cada passo que eu der, meu caminho á iluminar
But I have faith that with each step I take, my path will light up
