Semana
Rael Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Já faz mais de uma semana
Que eu não vejo
Que almejo e
E o pior que eu to sem grana pra me distrair por aí
Apressado eu sou isso
Me faz querer te procurar
Mas é melhor deixar rolar
Meu som ela põe lá pra tocar

Num meu canto eu vou ficar

O que tem que ser será
Tudo tem seu tempo e
Cada coisa a seu lugar
Já que está sendo assim
Nada eu posso fazer
Somente é te esperar
Eu te aguardo tenho pensado em te esperar
E te aguardo tenho pensado vou te esperar

Ah ah
Ah ah

Já faz mais de uma semana
Que eu não vejo
Que almejo e

O que tem que ser será
Tudo tem seu tempo e
Cada coisa a seu lugar
Já que esta sendo assim
Nada eu posso fazer
Somente é te esperar

Eu te aguardo tenho pensado em te esperar

E te aguardo tenho pensado vou te esperar

Ah ah
Ah ah

Já faz mais de uma semana
Que eu não vejo

Overall Meaning

"Semana" by Rael is a song about longing and patience. The singer hasn't seen the person they desire for over a week and is struggling with the fact that they don't have the funds to distract themselves. The lyrics express a certain restlessness and haste that comes with wanting to see someone. However, the singer realizes that sometimes it's better to let things happen naturally and that everything has its own time and place. The person who they miss puts on music in their space, and it's where they decide to stay, hoping that the wait will come to an end soon.

The song has a sense of hopefulness to it, despite the waiting and the uncertainty that the singer is facing. It's a reminder that sometimes, all we can do is wait for things to fall into place. The repetition of the phrase "Eu te aguardo" (I'm waiting for you) has a sense of persistence and determination, as if the singer is willing to wait for as long as it takes for the person they miss to return.

Overall, "Semana" is a poignant reflection on the challenges of patience and the complexities of love and longing.

Já faz mais de uma semana
It has been over a week now

Que eu não vejo
Since I last saw

Que almejo e
What I desire

E o pior que eu to sem grana pra me distrair por aí
And the worst part is that I don't have any money to distract myself around

Apressado eu sou isso
I am in a hurry, that's how I am

Me faz querer te procurar
It makes me want to look for you

Mas é melhor deixar rolar
But it's better to let it happen

Meu som ela põe lá pra tocar
She puts my music on to play over there

Num meu canto eu vou ficar
I will stay in my corner

O que tem que ser será
Whatever needs to happen will happen
