Cecília Lyrics in English ANAVITÓRIA

“Cecília” is a bittersweet postcard from the aftermath of love. ANAVITÓRIA paint the picture of someone who suddenly realizes that every sign of their partner—voice, gaze, even the shared nickname “amor”—has slipped away. The singer wanders through memories and physical spaces, desperately searching for a familiar face that is no longer there. Each line feels like tracing the outline of a shadow: “Te vi escapar das minhas mãos” (“I watched you slip from my hands”) captures that moment when you understand you cannot hold on to what has already left.

Yet the song is not only about loss; it is about the awakening that follows. The duo admits that, all along, the relationship “não dava pé” (had no footing), hinting that certainty was an illusion and the hurried pace of love masked deeper cracks. By singing to “aliviar o pranto” (ease the tears), they transform sorrow into art, showing that even absence can fuel beautiful melodies. In short, “Cecília” is an intimate reminder that endings hurt, but naming the hurt is the first step toward healing—and, of course, toward a great song to sing along to while you practice your Portuguese vocabulary.
