Me Dá um Olá
Ultraje A Rigor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Me manda um oi
Onde 'cê está?
Onde é que foi?
Que eu estou no ar
Sem saber
Como 'cê está
'Cê não podia
ter sumido assim
'cê sabe onde eu estou
liga pra mim
quem sabe um dia desses
sua auto-estima baixa
nossas agendas batem
e a gente se encaixa
The song "Me Dá um Olá" by Ultraje A Rigor is a poignant commentary on the fleeting nature of relationships and the feelings of isolation that can arise from them. The lyrics describe a protagonist who is feeling disconnected from someone they care about and are asking for a simple acknowledgment or greeting in order to feel a sense of connection. The use of rhetorical questions in the opening lines ("Where are you?" "Where did you go?") highlights the singer's confusion and uncertainty about the state of their relationship. The repetition of the phrase "Me dá um olá" and "Me manda um oi" implies an desperation, as if the singer is begging their lover to acknowledge their existence.
As the song progresses, the singer's anxiety and feelings of abandonment become more pronounced. They describe themselves as being "in the air" and "not knowing" how their lover is doing or where they are - this feeling of being suspended in an unknown space is a common experience for people going through a break-up or disconnection from someone they once cared about. The plea "Liga pra mim" towards the end of the song is particularly poignant - the singer is essentially saying that they are willing to accept any amount of attention or interaction, no matter how small. The final lines of the song suggest a glimmer of hope - the singer imagines a future in which their schedules align and they can reconnect.
Overall, "Me Dá um Olá" is a powerful song about the painful emotions that can arise from relationships, and the need for connection and understanding even in the face of adversity.
