Song Meaning of “Vala Comum” by Serginho Madureira
Vala Comum is a Brazilian song by singer Serginho Madureira. The song is about the pain of leaving behind someone you love, and the struggle of moving on. It’s a somber song, sung with emotion and longing. The lyrics speak of the heartache of not being able to move on and carry on in life without the one you love.
The first verse of the song tells of the protagonist’s struggle in living without the one he loves. He dreams of being able to go back to the past and change things so he wouldn’t have had to let go of the person, but instead he has to carry on remembering all the good moments they spent together.
The chorus speaks to the loneliness the protagonist is feeling, with him standing by the “common pit” where all his pain and memories reside. He sings of all the things he was never able to say to the one he lost, the words of love he was never able to express.
The bridge of the song speaks of his desire to let go and move on, to be able to start over and put what has been lost into the past.
In the end, the protagonist looks for a way to cope with the loss he’s feeling. He wants to find the strength to let go, to find closure and live a life without the pain of longing for the one he’s lost.
