Segredo
Zélia Duncan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

O tempo inteiro
Eu ando me perdendo por aí
Sem aposento
Me leve vento
Sou folha
É tempo lento
Eu quero uma semana estar contigo
Eu quero a rua
Eu quero que as ondas me tragam
Há quanto tempo
Quero ajudar quem me criou
Quero um tantinho
Eu luto sozinho
Meu nosso Senhor
Eu quero é mais
Muito mais
Ser um calado coração trancado
Eu tenho um recado
Um ódio interno marcado




Guardado
Fincado pregado lacrado

Overall Meaning

In Zélia Duncan's song "Segredo," the lyrics evoke a sense of wandering and aimlessness through life, without a true sense of belonging or stability. The singer mentions being carried by the wind, like a leaf, and being in search of connection and purpose. They express a desire to spend time with someone special and to be near the ocean, perhaps for its calming and grounding effects. However, amidst these longings, there is also a sense of inner turmoil and frustration. The singer mentions wanting to help those who raised them, but feeling alone in this endeavor. They also mention a "secret" (segredo) that they carry, which seems to be a source of this internal angst. The last lines of the song express a desire to remain closed off and guarded, but also to share a message and to confront this "internal hatred" (ódio interno) that they carry.


Overall, the lyrics of "Segredo" seem to convey a sense of uncertainty and vulnerability, combined with a longing for connection and meaning in life. The singer is searching for a sense of identity and purpose, but also struggling with internal conflicts that may prevent them from fully opening up to others.
