Simone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pra se combinar comigo tem que ter opinião
São as desgraças da sorte, são as traças da paixão
Quem quiser casar comigo tem que ter bom coração
Morena quando repenso o nosso sonho fagueiro
O céu estava tão denso, o inverno tão passageiro
Uma certeza me nasce, e abole todo o meu zelo
Estava cego o apelo, estava solto o impasse
Sofrendo nosso desvelo, perdendo no desenlace
No rolo feito um novelo, até o fim do degelo
Até que a morte me abrace
São as desgraças da sorte, são as traças da paixão
Quem quiser casar comigo tem que ter bom coração
São as trapaças da sorte, são as graças da paixão
Pra se combinar comigo tem que ter opinião
Morena quando relembro aquele céu escarlate
Mal começava dezembro, já ia longe o combate
Uma lambada me bole, uma certeza me abate
A dor querendo que eu morra, o amor querendo que eu mate
Estava solta a cachorra que mete o dente e não late
No meio daquela zorra, perdendo no desempate
Girando feito piorra, até que a mágoa escorra
Até que a raiva desate
São as trapaças da sorte, são as graças da paixão
Pra se combinar comigo tem que ter opinião
São as desgraças da sorte, são as traças da paixão
Quem quiser casar comigo tem que ter bom coração
The lyrics to Simone's song "Face a Face" explore the intense and often tumultuous emotions that come with love and relationships. The repetition of the phrases "são as trapaças da sorte" (the tricks of fate) and "são as desgraças da sorte" (the misfortunes of fate) suggest the unpredictable nature of love and how it can bring both joy and pain. The lyrics also emphasize the importance of having a strong character and an opinion in order to be a suitable partner for the singer: "pra se combinar comigo tem que ter opinião" (to be with me, you must have an opinion) and "quem quiser casar comigo tem que ter bom coração" (whoever wants to marry me must have a good heart).
The verses describe the singer's memories of a past relationship and the conflicting emotions she experienced. The references to the "ceú tão denso" (dense sky) and "inverno tão passageiro" (passing winter) suggest that the relationship had a sense of heaviness and intensity but was short-lived. The chorus suggests that despite the difficulties faced in love, the singer values the passion and intensity that comes with it.
Overall, the lyrics to "Face a Face" are a poetic exploration of the complexities of romantic relationships, the unpredictable nature of fate, and the importance of having a strong character and an open mind in order to love and be loved.

Morena quando repenso o nosso sonho fagueiro
Brunette, when I look back on our fanciful dream
O céu estava tão denso, o inverno tão passageiro
The sky was so thick, winter so fleeting
Uma certeza me nasce, e abole todo o meu zelo
A certainty arises and destroys all my caution
Quando me vi face a face fitava o meu pesadelo
When I faced my nightmare
Estava cego o apelo, estava solto o impasse
The plea was blind, the deadlock loose
Sofrendo nosso desvelo, perdendo no desenlace
Suffering our devotion, losing in the outcome
No rolo feito um novelo, até o fim do degelo
In the tangle like a ball, until the end of the thaw
Até que a morte me abrace
Until death embraces me
Morena quando relembro aquele céu escarlate
Brunette, when I remember that scarlet sky
Mal começava dezembro, já ia longe o combate
December had just begun, but the battle was already far along
Uma lambada me bole, uma certeza me bate
A thump hits me, a certainty strikes me
A dor querendo que eu morra, o amor querendo que eu mate
The pain wanting me to die, the love wanting me to kill
Estava solta a cachorra que mete o dente e não late
The dog that bites without barking was loose
No meio daquela zorra, perdendo no desempate
In the middle of that mess, losing in the tiebreaker
Girando feito piorra, até que a mágoa escorra
Spinning like a top, until the bitterness drains away
Até que a raiva desate
Until the anger breaks loose
