Afinal
Os Cariocas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tu sofres o que eu sofri
Pagas hoje o que fizeste de mal
Sentes a dor que eu senti
Quando eu quiz
Só para mim teu amor
Tu zombaste eu me julguei infeliz
Sou feliz
Bem longe de ti
E nem se quer lamento
O que sofri
Aquele meu tormento
Já teve fim
Surgiu nova iluão
Sim, para o meu coração
Afinal
Tu sofres o que eu sofri
Pagas hoje o que fizeste de mal
Sentes a dor que eu senti
Sou feliz
Bem longe de ti
E nem se quer lamento
O que sofri
Aquele meu tormento
Já teve fim
Surgiu nova iluão
Sim, para o meu coração
Afinal
Tu sofres o que eu sofri
Pagas hoje o que fizeste de mal
Sentes a dor que eu senti
The song "Afinal" by Os Cariocas depicts a powerful message of karma and moving on from a past hurtful experience. The lyrics express a sense of redemption and closure, in which the singer seems to have let go of their past pain and found happiness. The song starts by describing how the person who hurt them is now going through the same emotions and pain that the singer once felt. They acknowledge that the wrongdoer is paying for what they have done, and that they feel the same kind of anguish that they had caused before.
The lyrics then shift to the singer describing the time when they were in love with the person who hurt them. They wanted to be with them and enjoy their love, but the one they loved did not feel the same feelings. Their love was not reciprocated, and they were left feeling unhappy and unfulfilled. However, now they understand that moving on was for the better, and they have found love again. They express contentment in their life and find joy in knowing that the one who hurt them has received their comeuppance.
In conclusion, "Afinal" is a song filled with powerful themes of karma and closure. The song speaks to those who have experienced similar situations or have gone through difficult times in their lives, and reminds them that sometimes, letting go and moving on is the best course of action.
