David Bowie
Porcas Borboletas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fui criado a amor de mãe
E malcriado a david bowie Fui criado a amor de mãe
E malcriado a david bowie
Sei que tudo foi em vão
Mas ao menos tudo foi

Fui criado a amor de mãe
E malcriado a david bowie
Sei que tudo foi em vão
Mas ao menos tudo foi

De nós dois no entanto
Não se pode dizer tanto
Nosso fim já tava pronto
Antes do primeiro encontro
Nem sei mesmo se existiu
Um amor que nos pariu

Sempre antes da manhã
E depois do anoitecer
Esse amor é fogo regado a álcool
Sempre antes da manhã
E depois do anoitecer




Esse amor é fogo regado a álcool
Dele só me recordo por alto

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Porcas Borboletas' song "David Bowie" tell the story of a person who was raised with a mother's love and influenced heavily by the music of David Bowie. The lyrics express a feeling of disappointment and futility in this person's life, acknowledging that everything they were raised to believe in and love seems to have been in vain. Despite this feeling, the lyrics suggest a sense of acceptance and even resignation about the situation.


The song also touches on the theme of love and relationships, particularly the idea of a doomed love that was never meant to be. The lyrics suggest that the two people involved may not have even had a real connection, as they were never truly able to meet and connect on a deep level. The reference to love as a "fire watered with alcohol" suggests a passionate but ultimately destructive relationship. Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of sadness and disillusionment, but also a certain peace and acceptance about the way things have turned out.


Line by Line Meaning

Fui criado a amor de mãe
I was raised with the love of a mother


E malcriado a david bowie
And brought up with the influence of David Bowie


Sei que tudo foi em vão
I know that it was all in vain


Mas ao menos tudo foi
But at least it was something


De nós dois no entanto
Of the two of us, however


Não se pode dizer tanto
Not much can be said


Nosso fim já tava pronto
Our ending was already set


Antes do primeiro encontro
Before our first encounter


Nem sei mesmo se existiu
I don't even know if there was


Um amor que nos pariu
A love that brought us together


Sempre antes da manhã
Always before the morning


E depois do anoitecer
And after the nightfall


Esse amor é fogo regado a álcool
This love is like fire fueled by alcohol


Sempre antes da manhã
Always before the morning


E depois do anoitecer
And after the nightfall


Dele só me recordo por alto
I only vaguely remember it
