Linda Flor
Thiago Veiga Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ah!
Quem não a conhece
Se encanta, mas se ilude
Com tanta beleza assim
Ah ah ah!
Aquele seu perfume
Me prende em pensamentos
E parece não ter fim

E eu ainda estou aqui
Com seu espinho
Em minhas mãos
Estou caído aqui no chão
Bem onde ela me deixou
Refrão:
O nome dela é Linda Flor
Que leva embora toda dor
Ai quem me dera fosse assim
Eu hoje não estaria aqui
Chorando por aquela flor
Que outro beija-flor beijou
Despetalando o meu amor
E a primavera jamais teve fim
Pra mim...

Ôoooo ô ô!
Ôoooo ô ô!
Ôoo ôoo ô!

O nome dela é Linda Flor
Que leva embora toda dor

Ai quem me dera fosse assim
Eu hoje não estaria aqui

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Thiago Veiga's song Linda Flor describe the beauty and fascination of a woman known as Linda Flor. The singer admits to being captivated by her beauty but also admits to being deceived by it. Her perfume keeps him lost in thought, unable to escape her enchantment. Despite this, the singer acknowledges that he is still holding her thorn in his hands, displaying the pain she caused him. He finds himself brokenhearted and left behind, while another "beija-flor" (a hummingbird) takes her away. The chorus repeats the name of Linda Flor and emphasizes how her name reflects the relief she brings to the singer's pain.

This song portrays the common theme of unrequited love, where the singer is left heartbroken and immobilized by the beauty of Linda Flor. The lyrics also emphasize the paradox of beauty, where something so beautiful can be the source of pain and suffering. The use of the hummingbird as a substitute for a lover adds to the depth of the song, as birds are known for their fleeting nature and the ability to fly away at any time. Thiago Veiga creates a poetic metaphor for the pain of lost love, and his melancholic vocals add to the emotional impact of the song.
