Momento Na Praça
Ave Sangria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
De borracha, de nada
Ou músculo leve
Salto livre
O suficiente pra planar
E o corpo todo foi atrás
Em cima, embaixo
Centro do mundo
E os violões brilharam sobre a noite
Enquanto as lâmpadas de mercúirio
Iluminaram a praça
Caracóis, pedras e lesmas
Pernas roçam de leve o chão
E os olhos abertos
E o sorriso
E os olhos abertos
E o sorriso
E os olhos abertos
E o sorriso
De quem se liga no mar
De quem se liga no mar
De quem se liga no mar
De quem se liga no mar
The lyrics of "Momento Na Praça" by Ave Sangria describe a moment of joy and freedom experienced by the singer and others in a public square. The opening lines suggest a feeling of weightlessness and movement, as though the singer's legs are propelled by rubber or muscle into the air. The sense of lightness and freedom is extended to the entire body, which follows the floating legs into the air.
The next lines describe the atmosphere of the public square, which becomes the "centro do mundo" or center of the world for the singer and those around them. The music of the guitars and the illumination of the mercury lamps creates a magical, otherworldly space in which the mundane (snails, rocks, and legs brushing lightly against the ground) becomes infused with wonder.
The repetition of "e os olhos abertos/e o sorriso" reinforces the idea that this is a moment of pure joy and presence, in which the singer's open eyes and smile reflect their connection to the sea and the natural world.
Overall, the lyrics of "Momento Na Praça" evoke a sense of the transformative power of music and community, and the capacity of simple pleasures to connect us to the wider world and to each other.
