Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mas nada disfarça o que tu tem
Se ainda tem...
Me dá um sinal de viva
Agora essa é minha vida sem você
Difícil de esquecer
Como é que eles não falam de você para mim?
Como tu era?
E de palavras que um dia prometeu repetir para mim
Sentado na calçada mais amada que eu possa ter
Só queria que tivesse pressa em uma torre de papel
Assim eu te salvava feito a rapunzel
Só queria que tivesse pressa em uma torre de papel
Assim eu te salvava feito a rapunzel
The lyrics to Hillier's song "Rapunzel" express the singer's longing for a past love. The opening lines acknowledge the passage of time, but also suggest that time has not diminished the singer's feelings for this person. The line "Me dá um sinal de viva" (Give me a sign of life) suggests that the singer is holding onto hope that the relationship is not completely over. However, the lyrics also acknowledge the difficulty of forgetting this person, as the line "Difícil de esquecer" (Difficult to forget) signifies.
The second verse continues with the singer's reminiscing about the past relationship. The line "Como é que eles não falam de você para mim?" (How come they don't talk about you to me?) suggests that the singer is still inquisitive about the ex-partner's life. The line "Tenho medo de esquecer o seu olhar no meu" (I'm afraid to forget your gaze on me) demonstrates that the singer is concerned about losing memories of the past love. The final two lines of the verse, "E de palavras que um dia prometeu repetir para mim / Sentado na calçada mais amada que eu possa ter" (And of words that one day you promised to repeat to me / Sitting on the most beloved sidewalk I could have), further emphasize the singer's fixation on the past.
The chorus of the song focuses on the singer's desire to save the ex-partner, depicting the character as the fairy tale figure of Rapunzel. The line "Só queria que tivesse pressa em uma torre de papel / Assim eu te salvava feito a Rapunzel" (I just wish you were in a paper tower / So I could save you like Rapunzel) illustrates the singer's longing to rescue the ex-partner, despite the impossibility of doing so.
Overall, "Rapunzel" is a vivid representation of heartbreak, nostalgia, and the desire to rescue a lost love.

Assim eu te salvava feito a rapunzel
I wish I could save you like the fairy tale, and everything would be alright
