Canção Da Despedida Lyrics in English Marvvila , Péricles
Bandeira literally means "flag." While it's a common word, its use in this song is idiomatic and quite interesting.
In the lyrics, "Chora pelos cantos pra não dar bandeira" translates to "Cries in the corners so as not to give away the flag." Here, "dar bandeira" is an idiom meaning to "give away" or "show one's hand," revealing one's true feelings or intentions. It's a subtle and evocative way to describe someone trying to hide their sadness.
"Canção Da Despedida" is a heartfelt farewell wrapped in pagode rhythm and honeyed harmonies. 🎶 In the lyrics, Marvvila and Péricles sing from the point of view of someone who has been left behind but refuses to accept the breakup as final. While they admit, “Essa é a canção da despedida” (This is the farewell song), their heart keeps making plans for a lifetime of love and clings to the belief that true affection only exists in this relationship.
The song captures the tug-of-war between reality and hope. Publicly, the ex-partner says they are “superando” (getting over it), yet the singer knows they still cry in secret. Time will reveal, the narrator insists, that “amor sincero só aqui” (sincere love is only here). The result is a bittersweet mix of denial, yearning, and quiet confidence—perfect for practicing Portuguese vocabulary about emotions while feeling every beat of a modern Brazilian love lament.
