Song Meaning of “Acabou o Dinheiro Acabou o Amor” by Diego Costa
This song explores the disillusionment of love when money runs thin, which many people can relate to. Diego Costa touches on the realization that love often fades when the couple starts to struggle for financial security. The opening line translates to “The money is over, the love is over” which sets the tone for the song and paints a vivid picture of how economic troubles can lead to the breakdown of a relationship.
The chorus speaks of sadness and emptiness as the love is slipping away: “Our dreams, they just don’t work out/And every night, it seems so long/Without love, without money, here I am/Only emptiness remains.” Costa asks whether the couple can just keep living without money, and without love. The answer is no.
The second verse speaks to the pain of longing for the days when the love burned stronger and brighter: “Our memories fade away/Nothing else remains the same/I cry, all of the time/I can’t forget the past.” Despite the sadness of the situation, Diego Costa ends the song on a hopeful note, singing: “At least there’s still hope for the future/Maybe even our dreams will be true/And love will come back to us again/Although money won’t be there.” Despite the financial hardship, the couple can still find a way to restore the love that once existed between them. The song speaks of the fragility of love and the need to keep it alive even in the toughest of times.
