Duas Horas Da Manhã
Paulinho da Viola Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Duas horas da manhã,
Contrariado espero pelo meu amor
Vou subindo o morro sem alegria,
Esperando que amanheça o dia
Qual será o paradeiro
daquela que até agora não voltou?
Eu não sei se voltará,
ou se ela me abandonou
A minha esperança está morrendo
E a saudade no meu peito vai crescendo




Parece até que o coração me diz
Sem ela, eu não serei feliz...

Line by Line Meaning

Duas horas da manhã,
It's two in the morning,


Contrariado espero pelo meu amor
Anxiously waiting for my love,


Vou subindo o morro sem alegria,
Climbing the hill without joy,


Esperando que amanheça o dia
Waiting for the day to dawn,


Qual será o paradeiro
What will be the whereabouts


daquela que até agora não voltou?
of the one who hasn't returned yet?


Eu não sei se voltará,
I don't know if she will return,


ou se ela me abandonou
Or if she has left me


A minha esperança está morrendo
My hope is dying


E a saudade no meu peito vai crescendo
And the longing in my heart is growing


Parece até que o coração me diz
It seems like my heart is telling me


Sem ela, eu não serei feliz...
I won't be happy without her...
