A fast read before the full lyric

A song about trying to erase someone from memory, with the repeated hope that distance will make the pain pass.

The song starts and ends with the same line about erasure, but adds "E não vamos voltar", and we're not going back, at the very end.

It's a small, hard-won declaration after all that uncertainty.

Editor's note

Quando Toca o Sino's Despertar and the wish to forget

A song about trying to erase someone from memory, with the repeated hope that distance will make the pain pass.

"Se eu pudesse te apagar de mim"

The structure is telling. The song starts and ends with the same line about erasure, but adds "E não vamos voltar", and we're not going back, at the very end. It's a small, hard-won declaration after all that uncertainty.

The phrase "preciso me isolar bem longe", I need to isolate myself far away, cuts through the hypotheticals. It's the one concrete action in a song full of wishes, the admission that physical distance might be the only way to stop the mental loops.

It's the song's central, impossible premise stated plainly right at the top. Everything that follows, the isolation, the need for it to pass, spins out from wanting to perform that kind of mental deletion.

The way the vocal delivery stretches on "despertar", to awaken, gives that final word a weary, hopeful weight.

Se eu pudesse te apagar de mim

E nunca mais lembrar

Cada verso que escrevia e me fazia acreditar

Se eu pudesse deixar você pra trás

E nunca mais estar

Nos lugares em que estivemos e que não vamos voltar

Eu já não te encontro mais

Porque isso tudo me faz mal

Estamos tão distantes

Vai passar, preciso me isolar bem longe

Vai passar, existe um lugar onde

Eu possa nos meus sonhos te deixar

Quando eu despertar

Se eu pudesse te esquecer assim

E o vento te soprar

Pra bem longe dos pensamentos que insistem em ficar

Se eu pudesse dizer chegou ao fim

Ver tudo acabar

Não ter medo de olhar pro que eu vivi, saber recomeçar

Eu já não te encontro mais

Porque isso tudo me faz mal

Estamos tão distantes

Vai passar, preciso me isolar bem longe

Vai passar, existe um lugar onde

Eu possa nos meus sonhos te deixar

Quando eu despertar

Se eu pudesse te apagar de mim

E nunca mais estar

Nos lugares em que estivemos e que não vamos voltar

E não vamos voltar...

E não vamos voltar...
