The lyrics are a direct address to the departed, filled with questions and a deep yearning for their presence. The opening lines, 'Será que dai de cima cê ta me escutando / Será que quando me escuta tá se orgulhando,' set the tone for the song, expressing a hope that the loved one is still watching over and proud of the singer.
