The Song
antonio carlos Lyrics

I'll go back, I know now that I'll go back
I have come to the realization that my true place is where I originally came from and I will return there.

That my place is there
My place of belonging and comfort lies in returning to where I came from.

And there it will always be
It will always remain the same and consistent, where I will be able to find solace and familiarity.

There where I can hear the song of the Sabia
I yearn to go back to a place where I can hear the beautiful melody of the Sabia bird.

I will lie in the shadow of a palm that's no longer there
I will reminisce about the past and lay under the shade of a palm tree that may no longer exist in the present.

And pick a flower that doesn't grow
I will remember picking flowers from a place that no longer has them, reminding me of the transience of life.

And maybe someone's love will speak the night
Perhaps I will find companionship and love during my time there, as the night brings people closer together.

The lonely unwanted light
During lonely times, a flicker of light may provide hope and guide me forward.

That may bring me through the new day
The light will guide me towards a new day and a new beginning, bringing me hopeful prospects for the future.

They won't be in vain, all the plans I made to deceive myself
My previous attempts at deceiving myself will not be for nothing, as I have learned from them and grown as a person.

All the rose I made just to lose myself
My attempts at escapism through indulgence will not be in vain, as they have helped me become more self-aware and reflective.

All the love I made to forget myself
My previous attempts at using love as a form of escapism will not be for nothing, as I have learned how to love myself and others more deeply.

Those mistakes I made just to find myself
My previous mistakes have helped me discover more about myself, leading me to become a better person as a result.

Of the Sabia
The Sabia bird's song represents the nostalgia and longing I feel towards my past and my desire to return there.
