Rio Descoberto
Oswaldo Montenegro Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Quanto o sol mais se esconde
Aonde eu te perdi
Tenho as asas de sonho
De indefeso passarinho

Joga a primeira pedra
Pousa os olhos em mim
Sou como um rio descoberto
Só de saudade de ti

Céu das cidades satélites
Luzes que enxergo daqui
Guia do instante em que estou eu só
E que me entrego pra ti

Diz onde é que eu te encontro
Que eu não tenho onde ir




Tô cansado de abandono
Quero um colo pra dormir

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are from Oswaldo Montenegro's song "Rio Descoberto," and they reveal deep emotions of the singer who is struggling with heartbreak and loneliness. The first stanza talks about how the singer is lost and helpless without his love. He compares himself to a small bird with dream-like wings that cannot fly without her. The second stanza talks about how the singer is now alone and feels like an exposed riverbed that has been discovered by others. He feels this way because of his strong longing for his love. The third stanza talks about how the singer is looking up at the sky, which is dotted with city lights. He feels like he has nothing but memories of his love to guide him in this moment, and he surrenders to those memories. Finally, the last stanza shows the singer's desperation as he asks where he can find his love because he feels lost and aimless without her. He yearns for her embrace and the warmth of her comforts.
