Diga a Ela

In 'Diga a Ela,' Nenhum de Nós delves into the themes of loneliness and longing through a poignant narrative. The song's protagonist asks a messenger to inform a woman about his current state, emphasizing that he appears to be doing well despite the emptiness he feels. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who is physically present in social settings but emotionally distant, highlighting the contrast between external appearances and internal realities. The mention of 'noites vazias' (empty nights) and 'dias intermináveis' (endless days) underscores the protagonist's sense of isolation and the passage of time that feels both slow and meaningless without the woman's presence.

The song further explores the protagonist's interactions with his surroundings. He describes being in a bar with friends, yet feeling surrounded by strangers. This juxtaposition of familiarity and estrangement suggests a deeper emotional disconnect, where even known faces fail to provide genuine comfort or connection. The repeated line 'Diga a ela que me viu sozinho' (Tell her you saw me alone) reinforces his solitude, despite being in the company of others. This loneliness is not just physical but also emotional, as he feels distant from what truly matters to him.

The final verses reveal a more introspective side of the protagonist. As he walks slowly down the street, he looks at everyone, trying to see beyond the surface. This act of searching for meaning and connection reflects his inner turmoil and the vast emotional space within him. The line 'Na verdade, ela sabe quem eu sou' (In truth, she knows who I am) suggests that the woman understands his true self and the depth of his feelings, even if they are not currently together. This acknowledgment adds a layer of vulnerability and hope, as he believes that she can see through his facade and recognize his genuine emotions.
