Antes E Depois De Você
Wanessa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Já não dá pra disfarçar
Impossível tentar esconder
Se a minha vida se dividiu
Em antes e depois de você
Já não posso despertar
Eu vivo eternamente esse sonho
Teus lábios me dizendo 'te amo'
Eu não sei se é real ou ilusão
Te vejo em todo lugar
Mais que um jogo de amor e paixão
Você chegou pra ficar
Me conquistou desse jeito
Me levou pra dentro do teu peito
E no teu corpo vivo aprisionada
Refém do teu amor e mais nada
Tua pele é a única barreira
Que eu não quero escapar
Teu coração é o meu santuário
Protege nosso amor tão sagrado
Teu sorriso me alimenta
Na hora de amar, na hora de amar
No rádio escuto uma canção
Parece que foi feita pra nós dois
E num suspiro, a confirmação
Que a vida é antes e depois... de você
The lyrics of the song Antes E Depois De Você by Wanessa portray a love that is all-consuming and has changed the singer's life in every possible way. The first verse talks about how it is impossible to hide the fact that the singer's life is now divided into before and after their lover. The second verse is dedicated to the dreamlike quality of the singer's life after their lover came into their life. They are constantly living in a dream, captivated by their lover's intense gaze and the three magical words: 'I love you.'
The chorus continues the theme of the singer's love being beyond reality or illusion. They see their lover everywhere, and the author suggests that they are here to stay. The next two lines are an admission of how their lover has captivated them and taken up residency inside their heart. In the second verse, the author uses vivid and romantic language to describe how the singer feels imprisoned in their lover's body, but this "prison" is where they always want to be. The bridge of the song is about a love song on the radio that reminds the singer that their life can be divided into before and after their lover ceased to be just a dream.

Já não dá pra disfarçar
I can no longer hide
Impossível tentar esconder
It's impossible to try to conceal
Se a minha vida se dividiu
My life has been divided
Em antes e depois de você
Into before and after you
Já não posso despertar
I can no longer wake up
Eu vivo eternamente esse sonho
I live this dream eternally
Um brilho intenso do teu olhar
An intense shine from your look
Teus lábios me dizendo 'te amo'
Your lips telling me 'I love you'
Eu não sei se é real ou ilusão
I don't know if it's real or an illusion
Te vejo em todo lugar
I see you everywhere
Mais que um jogo de amor e paixão
More than a game of love and passion
Você chegou pra ficar
You came to stay
Me conquistou desse jeito
You conquered me this way
Me levou pra dentro do teu peito
You took me into your heart
E no teu corpo vivo aprisionada
And in your body, I am trapped
Refém do teu amor e mais nada
A hostage of your love and nothing else
Tua pele é a única barreira
Your skin is the only barrier
Que eu não quero escapar
That I don't want to escape
Teu coração é o meu santuário
Your heart is my sanctuary
Protege nosso amor tão sagrado
Protecting our sacred love
Teu sorriso me alimenta
Your smile feeds me
Na hora de amar, na hora de amar
In the moment of love, in the moment of love
No rádio escuto uma canção
I hear a song on the radio
Parece que foi feita pra nós dois
It seems like it was made for us
E num suspiro, a confirmação
And in a sigh, confirmation
Que a vida é antes e depois... de você
That life is before and after... you
