Abraçam means "embrace" or "hug." It's the plural form of the verb "abraçar" (to embrace).
In the song, it's used poetically to describe clouds "abraçando lentamente" (slowly embracing) over the sea. This personification of nature creates a beautiful and tender image, making the word stand out as both evocative and memorable.
This song captures the intense emotions of waiting for a loved one to return. The lyrics paint a picture of time passing, from sunrise to sunset, using beautiful imagery of the sun, clouds, and stars. The singer watches the day begin, with the sun "desenhando sombras pelo chão" (drawing shadows on the ground), and end, with the city's "luzes de neon" (neon lights) turning on. This passage of time is filled with anxiety and a deep-seated fear.
The chorus reveals the heart of the song: the moment the loved one finally comes back. The singer sees them "abrir a porta" (open the door) with a "sorriso no olhar" (a smile in their eyes). In a moment of pure relief and joy, filled with "beijos e mais beijos" (kisses and more kisses), the singer confesses a secret: the terrible fear "de nunca mais te ver voltar" (of never seeing you return). It's a powerful declaration of love, celebrating a happy reunion and promising to love them forever.
