Que Amor Não Me Engana
Resistencia Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Que amor não me engana
Com a sua brandura
Se da antiga chama
Mal vive a amargura

Duma mancha negra
Duma pedra fria
Que amor não se entrega

Na noite vazia

E as vozes embarcam
Num silêncio aflito
Quanto mais se apartam
Mais se ouve o seu grito

Muito à flor das águas
Noite marinheira
Vem devagarinho
Para a minha beira

Em novas coutadas
Junto a uma hera
Nascem flores vermelhas
Pela Primavera

Assim tu souberas
Irmã cotovia
Dizer-me se esperas
Pelo nascer do dia

E as vozes embarcam
Num silêncio aflito
Quanto mais se apartam
Mais se ouve o seu grito

Muito à flor das águas
Noite marinheira
Vem devagarinho
Para a minha beira

Para a minha beira
Para a minha beira

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Que Amor Não Me Engana" by Resistência talk about love that cannot deceive the singer. The first two lines describe love as gentle and not causing bitterness. However, the next lines suggest that this kind of love only exists in ancient flames, and not in the emptiness of the night. The lyrics then describe a voice that cries out in the night and becomes more audible the farther it gets from the singer.

The next few lines contrast this voice with the beauty of flowers that bloom in the spring next to the singer. The singer asks the bird, "Irmã cotovia", whether it is waiting for the dawn. The final lines repeat the theme of the voice that can be heard more clearly from a distance, and the night that comes slowly to the singer's side.

In essence, the song is about a desire for comfort and honesty in love, and the fear of being deceived. The repeated lines of the voice getting louder as it departs seem to suggest that the singer is losing something important to them, perhaps a lover or a childhood memory.

If the old flame

Mal vive a amargura
Hardly lives the bitterness

Duma pedra fria
In a cold stone

Que amor não se entrega

Na noite vazia
In the empty night

In a worried silence

Quanto mais se apartam
As they move away
