Onde anda você
Toquinho Vinícius de Moraes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

E por falar em saudade
Onde anda você
Onde andam os seus olhos
Que a gente não vê
Onde anda esse corpo
Que me deixou morto
De tanto prazer
E por falar em beleza
Onde anda a canção
Que se ouvia na noite
Dos bares de então
Onde a gente ficava
Onde a gente se amava
Em total solidão
Hoje eu saio na noite vazia
Numa boemia sem razão de ser
Na rotina dos bares
Que apesar dos pesares
Me trazem você
E por falar em paixão
Em razão de viver
Você bem que podia me aparecer
Nesses mesmos lugares




Na noite, nos bares
Onde anda você

Overall Meaning

Toquinho and Vinicius De Moraes's song "Onde anda você" is a melancholic ballad about longing and the search for lost love. The song opens with the words "e por falar em saudade" – which roughly translates to "speaking of saudade" – a word that is often described as untranslatable but can be understood as a deep emotional longing for someone or something that is not present. The song's narrator is searching for someone he once loved deeply, and he wonders where she is now and what she is doing. He asks where her eyes are, and he remembers the pleasure that her body brought him and wonders where it is now.


The second verse shifts to memories of beauty and song. The singer remembers the nights they spent in bars, listening to music and being in love. He asks where the song they used to hear is now and where the place they used to go is. He describes a sense of total solitude, which suggests that the relationship was intimate and private. The final verse brings us to the present day, where the singer is still searching for his lost love. He describes a routine of going out to bars, where he hopes to see her. He ends with a plea for her to appear in the same places they used to go and to give meaning to his life with her presence.


The lyrics of "Onde anda você" are a poignant expression of the pain of loss and the longing for what once was. The song's melancholic melody adds to its emotional impact and has made it an enduring classic of Brazilian music. So much so that this song was a part of the soundtrack of one of the most iconic Brazilian telenovelas, "O Clone."

Here goes a rough translation: "And just to talk about memories
Where are you about now?
Where are your eyes, that I cannot see
Where is your body
that drove me crazy in pleasure

And just to talk about beauty
Where is the song that
we heard in the nights in those bars those days
Where people hang out
Where you and I could love
in complete solitude

Today I walk the lonely night
in a bohemia just without any thought

In the old routine of the bars
that regardless of all
still reminds me of you

And just to talk about passion
and the reason to live
you could really appear

In the very same places
in the night, in the bars"

Hope to help ... you should know the lyrics as well! They are as beautiful as the song so I did my best here trying to capture the gist if the song! Enjoy ;)

And talking about 'saudade'
where are you?
Where are your eyes
That we cant see them anymore
where is that body
That killed me with so much desire

And talking about beauty
Where is the song
We used to listen during the night
From the pubs where we used to be
where we used to love each other
In total solitude

Now I walk through the empty night
In a bohemian with no reason to be
In the pub's routine
That even though the regrets
Bring you back to me

And talking about love
about reason to live
you might as well show up
at that same places
At night, in the pubs
where you are ....

@EduardoSSilvaOficial

Since we are talking about missing
Where have you being?
Where have being your eyes
That we no longer see?
Where have being your body that
had killed me with so much pleasure?

Since we are talking about beauty
Where are the song that we heard in the night
In the bars from the past where we used to stay
Where we used to love each other alone

Today I go out in a empty night
In an meaningless Bohemia
In the routine of bars
That despite of the regrets
They bring me you
Since we are talking about passion
In reason to live
You could very well appear
In this very same places
In the night
In the bars
Wherever you've being
