Legacy
iroha Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Queria você aqui
Tá com fome?
Não, eu já comi
Na televisão vai passar um filme bom pra rir

E tem esse edredom para nos cobrir, abraçados quentinhos
Vamos dormir e aí
Só levantar no meio da madrugada
Pra fazer xixi

Mimimi, mimimi
Mimimi, mimimi

Queria você aqui
Pra gente do mundo sumir
Tudo é debate, palco ou álcool e piti
E a gente precisando de camarim

Quietinhos enfim
Longe de tititi,
Não sei o que lá, CPI, FMI
Amigo na UTI

Mimimi, mimimi
Mimimi, mimimi

Queria você aqui
Compus essa bossa
E me deprimi
Mas depois eu reagi

Saí da fossa e revivi
Tudo o que a gente fez
Minha nossa amorzinho
Foi tão massa, eu não me esqueci

Na minha cabeça
É coisa à beça
Peça por peça, por peça
Desse dejá vu





Mimimi, mimimi
Mimimi, mimimi

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Legacy" by iroha express a desire for intimacy and escape from the noise and drama of the world. The first stanza creates a cozy atmosphere between two people, possibly a couple, who are comfortable with each other's presence. They talk about watching a funny movie, staying warm under a comforter, and going to the bathroom in the middle of the night. The repetitive use of "mimimi" in the chorus suggests a playful and carefree attitude, a way of dismissing or downplaying their worries about the outside world.


In the second stanza, the lyrics take a more reflective tone. The singer expresses a wish to disappear from the world's troubles and the superficiality of social interactions. They mention the escapism of being in a quiet room, away from the noise of politics, media, and personal problems. The allusions to "CPI, FMI" and "amigo na UTI" suggest a social commentary on corruption and healthcare, but they are not dwelled upon. Instead, the focus is on the simple pleasure of being together without distractions. The final stanza mentions the process of composing a song, feeling down at first but then inspired by memories of a past relationship. The use of "minha nossa amorzinho" is a form of endearment that reinforces the theme of intimacy.
