Ela
Tim Bernardes Lyrics

Quando acorda olha para o lado
When she wakes up, she looks to the side, maybe hoping to find someone there.

Se veste bonita pra ninguém
She dresses up nicely but for no one in particular.

Chora escondida no banheiro
She cries secretly in the bathroom, perhaps to hide her vulnerability from others.

Pras amigas finge que está bem
She pretends to her friends that she is okay, even though she is not.

Mas eu vejo
But I see through her facade and can tell that she is not really okay.

Acha que precisa ser durona
She thinks she needs to be tough and not show weakness.

Não dá espaço para a dor passar
She doesn't allow herself to feel her own pain and process it.

Tem um grito preso na garganta
She has a scream stuck in her throat, metaphorically representing the struggles and emotions she can't properly express.

Que não está deixando ela falar
This scream is keeping her from being able to speak out and release her emotions.

Mas eu ouço
But I can still hear her pain and struggles, even if she can't articulate them clearly.

Quase como que anestesiada
She is almost numb and detached from her emotions, as though she has been numbed with anesthesia.

Vai deixando a vida carregar
She's just letting life carry her along, without actively participating in her own life or trying to make changes.

Ela sentiu mais do que aguentava
She's experienced more hardships than she can handle, and it's weighing her down.

Não quer sentir nada nunca mais
She doesn't want to feel anything anymore, perhaps because it hurts too much.

Mas eu sinto
But I can still feel her pain and sadness, even if she can't or won't express it.

Qualquer um que encontra ela na rua
Anyone who meets her on the street can tell that something is off or missing.

Vê que alguma coisa se apagou
They can see that something has dimmed or gone out inside her.

Ela está ficando diferente
She's changing, perhaps becoming more withdrawn or less vibrant than she used to be.

Acho que ninguém a avisou
I don't think anyone has confronted her about her struggles or checked in on her well-being.

E eu digo
And I am saying now, through this song, that I see her pain and that she deserves to be heard and helped.
