Adeus
Paulo Carvalho Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
O que faço aqui
Quem me abandonou
De quem me esqueci
Perguntei por mim
Quis saber de nós
Mas o mar
Não me traz
Em silêncio, amor
Em tristeza e fim
Eu te sinto, em flor
Eu te sofro, em mim
Eu te lembro, assim
Partir é morrer
Como amar
É ganhar
E perder
Tu vieste em flor
Eu te desfolhei
Tu te deste em amor
Eu nada te dei
Em teu corpo, amor
Eu adormeci
Morri nele
E ao morrer
Renasci
E depois do amor
E depois de nós
O dizer adeus
O ficarmos sós
Teu lugar a mais
Tua ausência em mim
Tua paz
Que perdi
Minha dor que aprendi
De novo vieste em flor
Te desfolhei
E depois do amor
E depois de nós
O adeus
O ficarmos sós
The lyrics of Paulo Carvalho's song Adeus touch upon themes of identity, loss, love, and parting. The singer begins by reflecting on their sense of self and their past relationships, expressing a desire to understand who they are and what their place in the world is. However, despite their introspection and questioning, the singer realizes that some things cannot be fully known or understood, as symbolized by their inability to hear the voice of the person they miss. The second stanza continues the theme of love and loss, with the singer feeling the presence of their loved one in moments of sadness and remembrance, even as they are separated by death or other circumstances. The final stanza brings the themes full circle, as the singer expresses both the pain and the beauty of saying goodbye and being alone. Despite the loss and the sorrow, there is still a sense of renewal and growth, as the singer finds a way to move forward while carrying the memory of their loved one.

Quis saber quem sou
I wanted to know who I am

Who I forgot
Perguntei por mim
I asked about myself
Quis saber de nós
I wanted to know about us
Mas o mar
But the sea
Não me traz
Doesn't bring me
Tua voz
Your voice
Em silêncio, amor
In silence, my love
Em tristeza e fim
In sadness and the end
Eu te sinto, em flor
I feel you, like a flower
Eu te sofro, em mim
I suffer you, within me
Eu te lembro, assim
I remember you, like this
Partir é morrer
Leaving is dying
Como amar
Like loving
É ganhar
Is to win
E perder
And to lose
Tu vieste em flor
You came like a flower
Eu te desfolhei
I unfolded you
Tu te deste em amor
You gave yourself in love
Eu nada te dei
I gave you nothing
Em teu corpo, amor
In your body, my love
Eu adormeci
I fell asleep
Morri nele
I died in it
E ao morrer
And in dying
Renasci
I was reborn
E depois do amor
And after love
E depois de nós
And after us
O dizer adeus
The saying goodbye
O ficarmos sós
The being alone
Teu lugar a mais
Your place is more
Tua ausência em mim
Your absence in me
Tua paz
Your peace
Que perdi
That I lost
Minha dor que aprendi
My pain that I learned
De novo vieste em flor
Again you came like a flower
Te desfolhei
I unfolded you
O adeus
The goodbye
O ficarmos sós
The being alone
