Proteção às borboletas
Benito Di Paula Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tudo o que eu penso é liberdade
Não quero ser maltradado,
Nem exportado desse meu chão
Minhas asas, minhas armas,
Não servem para me defender
As cores da natureza pedem
Você que me vê voando
Como a paz de uma criança
Você sabe a minha idade
Eu sou sua esperança
A ordem da humanidade
Não deve ser destruída
Quando eu voar me proteja
)sou parte da sua vida
Eu sou como a borboleta...
The lyrics of Benito Di Paula's song "Proteção às Borboletas" describe the experience of a butterfly, which represents freedom and nature's beauty. The butterfly is looking for protection, as it is being mistreated and exported from its natural environment. The butterfly's wings, which are its weapons, are not enough to protect it from the dangers of the human world. The butterfly is an important part of nature and needs help from humans to survive.
The butterfly's flight is described as peaceful, like that of a child. This highlights the innocence and vulnerability of the butterfly, which is further emphasized by the line "Você sabe a minha idade" (You know my age). This implies that the butterfly's life is short and fragile, and therefore must be protected. The butterfly is also portrayed as a symbol of hope for the future, representing the idea that humans should take responsibility for preserving nature.
The song's message is clear: humans have a responsibility to protect the environment and the creatures that inhabit it. The butterfly, which is just one example of the beauty and fragility of nature, is a reminder of the importance of preserving the planet. The song's use of the butterfly as a metaphor is effective because it is an image that people can relate to, and it carries a powerful message about the impact of humans on the natural world.

Por instantes fico em silêncio. Que bom encontrar tanta gente de bom gosto aqui. Pois saibam que muitas vezes sofro preconceito nas minhas cercanias por ser saudosista e admirar a boa música. Essa então, é uma poesia.

Era 1985, eu estava na quinta série, aí tínhamos que apresentar para toda escola uma música em forma de coral. Hoje 35 anos depois descobri o dono dessa musica. Um brinde a Benito de Paula... Direto do túnel do tempo...
