Before I Leave

The song *"Before I Leave"* (originally **"Antes da Minha Partida"**) is a poetic and emotional reflection on life before a final farewell. It explores themes such as the passage of time, accumulated experiences, love and loss, and the acceptance of life’s transience. The song is filled with gratitude and serenity, with a sense of fulfillment, as the speaker looks back with peace, knowing they have lived fully, despite the challenges.
In the chorus, the song expresses the desire to remember the moments lived, the dreams achieved, and those left behind. There is a focus on human connections - the hands held, the embraces shared - as significant markers of the journey. Even at the moment of departure, there is no sadness or despair, but rather an understanding that life is short, yet incredibly beautiful.
The bridge suggests that after the speaker’s departure, their memories and essence will remain in the hearts of others as an emotional and spiritual legacy. The song concludes by reaffirming that life does not end with death, but continues in cycles, like the changing seasons, altering its form but never disappearing completely.
