Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Viver longe sem você também cansa
O meu querido amor chegou de fora
Quero sentir teu beijo toda hora
Virá depois da festa agora vai ficar
A vida é tão modesta pra se amar
O Asa de Águia chegou e vai voar
Lê lê lê lê lê lê lê lê lê lê lê
Venha curtir o brilho dessa festa
Lê lê lê lê lê lê lê lê lê lê lê
Me abraça minha linda azul estrela
The lyrics to Asa de Águia's song Linda Azul Estrela speak of the joys and pains of love. The song begins with the singer expressing his desire to give his love a sweet hope that they can live apart from each other. He acknowledges that being away from his love is tiring, but he has found a new love that he wants to be with all the time. The second verse talks about his new love coming from somewhere else, but he still wants to feel her kiss all the time.
The chorus of the song is an invitation to come and join in the celebration. The Asa de Águia, with its wings, symbolizes the freedom that comes from letting go of worries and dancing the night away. The singer urges everyone to raise their hands and celebrate together in the middle of the street. The final line, "Me abraça minha linda azul estrela," is a plea for his new love to embrace him tightly.
