Quando Chove
Patricia Marx Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
nao vejo a luz do amor
Só as sombras do passado
Só um fogo que se apagou
É assim... nosso espelho se quebrou
É hora de se guardar
Um segredo no coracao
Se chove la fora, queimo aqui dentro
de vontade de te abracar
Amor, quando chove
fica mais triste a espera por alguém que nao vai chegar
Quando ouco o teu silencio
escuto o meu coracao bater apressado e urgente
Te querendo sem querer
Cansado de sofrer
Mas agora ja é hora dessa chuva ir embora
Repetir refrao(tres vezes)
The song "Quando Chove" by Patricia Marx is a melancholic ballad that touches upon themes of lost love and longing. The opening lines reveal the singer's dissatisfaction with the current state of their relationship, as they no longer see the light of love in their partner's eyes, only the shadows of the past. The broken mirror symbolizes the shattered relationship, and the need for the couple to keep their feelings hidden in their hearts.
The chorus introduces the metaphor of rain to describe the singer's emotional state. While it's raining outside, the singer is burning inside with the desire to hold their loved one close. The rain also intensifies the sadness of waiting for someone who may not come back. The chorus is repeated three times, highlighting the singer's desperation to be reunited with their lost love.
The second verse is a reflection of the singer's innermost thoughts and feelings. They listen to the silence and hear their own heart beating fast, desperate to be with their loved one again. The line "te querendo sem querer" is particularly poignant, as it describes the singer's conflicting emotions of both wanting and not wanting their partner. However, they acknowledge that it's time for the rain to stop, and for them to move on from their sadness.
Overall, "Quando Chove" is a beautifully crafted song that conveys the pain of lost love and the desire for reconciliation.
