About This Track

'Lua' by Jacob Collier is an alternative folk track from the album 'Djesse Vol. 2', released in 2019. The lyrics are in Portuguese, and they frame a longing-filled departure, returning to the image of the moon while asking for reassurance about someone’s intentions, whether they will come to be seen, to stay, or whether the speaker is caught in a dream. One short line that captures the central mood is “Ver a lua”, as night and waiting run into the promise of dawn.

"Lua" is a track by Jacob Collier, from the album Djesse Vol. 2, released 19th July 2019. It's filed under Alternative Folk. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Jacob Collier.

Lyrics

Lua

[Verse 1: MARO]

Vou-me embora

Ver a lua

Ver a noite a passar

Até o sol nascer

Diz-me que vens p'ra me ver

Diz-me que vens p'ra ficar

Já não sei se espere por ti

Se estou a sonhar

Vou-me embora

Ver se encontro

Uma parte de mim

Que perdi no teu céu

Diz-me que vens p'ra mostrar

O que deixei por aí

Diz-me que queres e que não

Que não é sonho meu

[Verse 2: Jacob Collier, Both]

Oh, if you only could see

What you mean to me

Tomorrow will come

You will wake and you will see

That some things cannot be

What we want them to be

See the light, see it all around my head, oh

See the light, see it all the way home

See the light, see it all around my head, oh

See the light, see it all the way home

See the light, see it all around my head, oh

See the light, see it all the way home

See the light, see it all around my head, oh

[Interlude: Piano and Strings]

[Verse 3: Jacob Collier, Both]

Oh, if you only could see

What you mean to me

Tomorrow will come

You will wake and you'll see

That some things cannot be

What we want them to be

See the light, see it all around my head, oh

See the light, see it all the way home

See the light, see it all around my head, oh

See the light, see it all the way home

See the light, see it all around my head, oh

See the light, see it all the way home

See the light, see it all around my head, oh

See the light, see it all the way home

See the light, see it all around my head, oh

See the light, see it all the way home

See the light, see it all around my head, oh

See the light, see it all the way home

See the light, see it all around my head, oh

See the light, see it all the way home

See the light, see it all around my head, oh

See the light, see it all the way home

See the light, see it all around my head, oh

See the light, see it all the way home

See the light, see it all around my head, oh

See the light, see it all the way home

See the light, see it all around my head, oh

See the light, see it all the way home

See the light, see it all around my head, oh

See the light, see it all the way home
