Qui Nem Jiló
Simone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do amor que a gente um dia perdeu
Saudade entonce assim é bom
Pro cabra se convencer
Que é feliz sem saber
Pois não sofreu
Porém se a gente vive a sonhar
Saudade entonce assim é ruim
Eu tiro isso por mim
Que vivo doido a sofrer
Ai quem me dera voltar
Pros braços do meu xodó
Saudade assim faz doer
E amarga qui nem jiló
E ninguém pode dizer
Que me viu triste a chorar
Saudade meu remédio é cantar
Saudade meu remédio é cantar
The lyrics to Simone's song "Qui nem jiló" express the complex nature of nostalgia and longing for lost love. The opening lines introduce the idea that reminiscing about lost love can be comforting, as it allows one to convince themselves that they are happy without that love. However, as the lyrics progress, the singer reveals that this type of nostalgia can also be painful, causing them to continually dream and long for what they once had. The chorus expresses this dichotomy particularly well, as it describes the pain of nostalgia as "bitter like jiló" (a type of bitter gourd often used in Brazilian cuisine) and the singer's solution to cope with this pain as singing - a cathartic release of emotion.
Overall, the song highlights the human experience of reconciling a desire for things that are no longer present in our lives - a universal theme that is relatable to listeners regardless of their culture or background. Simone's expressive vocals convey the depth and emotional complexity of the lyrics, making this song a classic in Brazilian music.

Se a gente lembra só por lembrar
If we remember just to remember
Do amor que a gente um dia perdeu
The love that we once lost
Saudade entonce assim é bom
Saudade then is good
Pro cabra se convencer
For the guy to convince himself
Que é feliz sem saber
That he's happy without knowing
Pois não sofreu
Because he didn't suffer
Porém se a gente vive a sonhar
However, if we live dreaming
Com o amor que a gente um dia perdeu
Of the love that we once lost
Saudade entonce assim é ruim
Saudade then is bad
Eu tiro isso por mim
I know this from myself
Que vivo doido a sofrer
That I live crazy suffering
Ai quem me dera voltar
Oh how I wish to go back
Pros braços do meu xodó
To the arms of my sweetheart
Saudade assim faz doer
Saudade makes me hurt
E amarga qui nem jiló
And is bitter like jiló
E ninguém pode dizer
And no one can say
Que me viu triste a chorar
That they saw me sad crying
Saudade meu remédio é cantar
Saudade, my remedy is to sing
Saudade meu remédio é cantar
Saudade, my remedy is to sing
