A chance encounter with a stranger who never knew love or kindness.
What sticks is how specific the absence is.
Not just 'she was lonely,' but that her 'ninho não existiu' - her nest never existed at all.

Editor's note
Zezo's 'A Desconhecida' and the woman without a name
A chance encounter with a stranger who never knew love or kindness.
Nunca teve amor
What sticks is how specific the absence is. Not just 'she was lonely,' but that her 'ninho não existiu' - her nest never existed at all.
The phrase 'Nunca teve amor' hits hard after all the physical details about her small cold hands and stumbling voice. It's not just that she's alone now - she's never had love, never felt warmth from anyone, never even heard the word 'carinho'.
Three words that explain everything about her. After all the description of her appearance and manner, this is the brutal fact at the center of her story.
The way 'De onde ela veio, pra onde ela vai' repeats at the end, unanswered.

Numa tarde tão linda de sol
Ela me apareceu
Com sorriso tão triste e olhar
Tão profundo, já sofreu
Suas mãos tão pequenas e frias
Sua voz tropeçava também
E falava da infância de lágrimas
Nunca teve ninguém
Nunca teve amor
Não sentiu calor por alguém
Nem se quer ouviu a palavra carinho
Seu ninho não existiu
Sinceramente eu chorei de tristeza ao ouvir
Tanta coisa que a vida oferece
Que agente padece, sem querer
Depois de tudo que eu vi
Não consigo esquecer
Ela me disse adeus e se foi
Nem seu nome eu sei dizer
De onde ela veio, pra onde ela vai
De onde ela veio, pra onde ela vai
Não sei dizer
Nunca teve amor
Não sentiu calor por alguém
Nem se quer ouviu a palavra carinho
Seu ninho não existiu
