Cabo Frio
Wagner Almeida Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dessa vez não segurei ao ver você desmoronar
como um prédio de areia

Eu sinto falta da praia, de quando tudo era
só eu e meu amigo
E a gente só se importava em jogar bola
e tentar não cair

Eu sinto falta praia, nós vimos os dias morrerem
eram dias tão cinzas
Tão cinzas e nublados
Tão cinzas e nublados e gelados

E isso me faz lembrar
do dia em que eu te falei
""você não foi a primeira
com quem eu me deitei""

E agora o ano virou
e a gente se força a acreditar em recomeço
Mesmo que isso não faça
nenhum sentido

Eu vejo que nada mudou
No fim do dia, o que eu e você queremos
é deitar
e se sentir amado

e se sentir salvo
e apagar

Overall Meaning

These lyrics, from Wagner Almeida's song "Cabo Frio," speak about nostalgia, longing, and the passage of time. The singer reflects on a past time when everything was simpler and carefree. They mention missing the beach, where they would spend time with a friend playing soccer and trying not to fall. The days were described as gray, cloudy, and cold, perhaps reflecting a sense of melancholy.

The lyrics then take a turn, referring to a conversation where the singer admits to not being the first person they slept with. This admission seems to bring up feelings of regret or the realization that relationships can be complicated. The passage of time is further emphasized as the year changes, and the singer mentions the need to believe in new beginnings, even if they don't make sense.

Lastly, the lyrics express a sense of stagnation, with the realization that despite the passing of time, nothing has really changed. Ultimately, what the singer and their partner want is to lay down at the end of the day, feeling loved, safe, and finding comfort in each other's presence.

Overall, these lyrics convey a mix of nostalgia, longing for a simpler past, the complexities of relationships, and the desire for emotional intimacy and security.

Dessa vez não segurei ao ver você desmoronar
This time I couldn't hold back when I saw you falling apart

como um prédio de areia
like a sandcastle

Eu sinto falta da praia, de quando tudo era só eu e meu amigo
I miss the beach, when it was just me and my friend

I miss the beach, we saw the days die

eram dias tão cinzas
they were such gray days

Tão cinzas e nublados
So gray and cloudy
