Marejada
Roberta Sá Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Menino, nas águas,
Eu te amei, amor
Te amando no mar
O mar me pegou

Marejou, o mar marejou
Aprendi no marejo do mar
As manhas do amor

Tem que ser onda forte
Pra me derrubar
Sou mais eu no mar
Não me embaraço na rede da dor
Primeira viagem, morena
Seu dengo já me ganhou
De tanto te amar no marejo do mar
Aprendi as manhas do amor

Marejou, o mar marejou
Aprendi no marejo do mar
As manhas do amor

Na sua esteira
Todo mato cheira
Toda lua beira
E acende a fogueira
Paixão bateu
Me carregou
Quando o amor se foi no vento
Mestre tempo confirmou
De tanto te amar no marejo do mar
Aprendi as manhas do amor

Menino, nas águas,
Eu te amei, amor
Te amando no mar
O mar me pegou

Marejou, o mar marejou




Aprendi no marejo do mar
As manhas do amor

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Marejada" by Roberta Sá describe a love that was born in the midst of the ocean waves. The song begins with the singer confessing her love for a boy while they were in the water. She learned the ways of love while riding the waves of the sea, which is a metaphor for the tumultuous journey of a passionate relationship. The intensity of their love is compared to the power of strong waves that cannot be tamed easily. The singer asserts that she is more herself when she is on the sea, and is not afraid of the painful emotions that come with the territory. The first time the two of them traveled together, the boy's sweet disposition captured her heart. She learned that love is full of tricks and needs a strong will to withstand its ups and downs.


As the lyrics progress, the singer paints a picture of the ocean embodying the love between her and the young man. Everything they experience together is intertwined with this kind of love: the smell of the plants along the shore, the moonlit nights and the sparks of passion that ignite their desires. However, the relationship does not last, and the love they shared ultimately fades away. The singer comes to the realization that everything in life is subject to the forces of time and chance, and love is no exception.


Overall, "Marejada" can be interpreted as a tribute to the ocean and its connection to the ebbs and flows of love. The lyrics suggest that love, like the sea, can be a difficult and unpredictable force to navigate, but it is also something that can bring immense joy and growth.
