Criança
Terno Rei Lyrics

The lyrics of Terno Rei's song Criança talk about the longing for the safety of home and the fear of the unpredictable world outside. The opening lines of "Se lembra dos planos de ontem?" (Do you remember the plans we made yesterday?) sets the tone of nostalgia and regret. The next line, "Ninguém se arrepende" (No one regrets), seems to be a slight contradiction, but it indicates that the singer is looking back fondly on their past but also acknowledges that the past cannot be changed.

The next verse talks about the anxieties of the present moment, with the lines "Correndo para longe de casa / Ninguém se arrepende" (Running away from home / No one regrets). Although the singer may have left the safety of home, they feel a longing for it, as indicated in the line "Mas sinto saudades de casa / Ninguém nos protege / Do mundo que há por vir" (But I miss home / No one protects us / From the world that is to come). The repeated lines of "E ouvir dizer você volta" (And hear you're coming back) and "Me redobrei nos cuidados" (I've doubled my efforts in taking care) indicate an anticipation of someone's return and the importance of protecting what they have left.

Overall, the song Criança seems to be a bittersweet reflection on the past, the present, and the future. It speaks of the safety of home and the yearning for it, while acknowledging the unpredictability of the world outside. The lines of the song create a sense of longing and regret, as well as a need to hold on to what is left.
