Meu Pranto Rolou
Vinícius de Moraes & Toquinho Lyrics

"Meu Pranto Rolou" is a melancholic song that describes the pain and sorrow of a man who has been left by his lover. The opening lines "Meu pranto rolou / Mais do que água na cachoeira" (My tears flowed / More than water in the waterfall) express the intensity of his emotions. He is crying so much that it feels like a waterfall has been created. The repetition of the refrain "Depois que ela me abandonou" (After she left me) emphasizes the cause of his suffering.

The lyrics also reflect on the singer's past experiences with his lover. He says that he used to live a happy life in his quiet village, but he wasn't able to see the truth behind his lover's promises. She constantly assured him that she would never leave, but in the end, she did, and his tears have been uncontrollable ever since. The line, "Ela queria fazer o meu pranto rolar" (She wanted to make my tears flow), suggests that the woman may have purposely caused his pain, or perhaps it was simply an inevitable consequence of her departure.

Overall, "Meu Pranto Rolou" is a moving ballad that speaks to the universal experience of heartbreak and the intense emotions that come with it.
