In a great MTV meeting in Porto Alegre at the Gigantinho Stadium, famous Latin artists as “Café Tacuba” from Mexico, Ilia Kuriaki and Los Valderramas from Argentina and Aterciopelados from Colombia could prove the power of this continent music during an alive transmission for MTV Brasil and MTV Latin America. As a result from the success with public, the song “Viajar” was chosen for a radio and TV campaign for Iguatemi Shopping Center that aired for a whole
year. The band was chosen by Coca-Cola to play the official Brazilian summer theme. The producers of the movie “Houve Uma Vez Dois Verões” chose the song “No Calor da Hora” as its soundtrack.

Um Dia De Sol
Papas Da Língua Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Você falou que não ia fugir
que nao ia desistir
e agora
simplesmente
sumiu

Você deixou de crer no nosso amor
pensa que não tem valor

e foge nublando
meu dia de sol

(Refrão)
Sol volte a brilhar
só mais um pouco pra eu não chorar
sozinho num canto
(2x)

Volte a brilhar

Você deixou de crer no nosso amor
pensa que não tem valor
e foge nublando (nublando)
meu dia de sol

(Refrão)
Sol volte a brilhar
só mais um pouco pra eu não chorar
sozinho num canto
(2x)

Volte a brilhar

Overall Meaning

"Um Dia De Sol" is a song by the Brazilian band Papas da Língua. The lyrics are a plea to a lover who seems to have lost faith in their relationship and has disappeared without warning. The singer is begging the lover to return and not let their relationship and the happiness it brings fade away.

The first verse conveys the shock and disappointment of the singer when their lover disappears despite promising not to run away or give up. The second verse explains that the partner no longer believes in their love and is undervaluing it. The phrase "foge nublando meu dia de sol" is particularly poignant, as it describes the partner's departure as causing a cloudy or gloomy feeling in the singer's life, despite the sunny days around them.

The refrain, "Sol volte a brilhar, só mais um pouco pra eu não chorar sozinho num canto" (Sunshine, shine again, just for a little bit so I don't have to cry alone in a corner), further emphasizes the feeling of loneliness and abandonment experienced by the singer. The song ends with another plea for the sun to shine again, signaling hope that the lover will return and restore happiness to the singer's life.
