Amanhecer means "dawn" as a noun, or "to dawn" as a verb. It's a beautiful and evocative word that captures the essence of a new beginning.
In the song, Bryan Behr sings, "Eu não vou deixar o dia amanhecer antes de você me pedir pra ficar" (I won't let the day dawn before you ask me to stay). He uses this word to express a deep desire to hold onto a moment, emphasizing the importance of the present and the hope for a shared future.
"Devagar" ("Slowly") is about falling for someone gradually and half against your will. The singer admits it is too late to back out or hide their feelings, even though nothing about this was planned.
The chorus captures that hesitation perfectly: they don't want the day to arrive before the other person asks them to stay. It's a quiet plea to hold on to the moment a little longer, without fear of whether it's worth it.
By the final verse, the song settles into something calmer: time to let time do its work, without rushing and without fear of the outcome.
