Sonhando o Futuro
Beto Guedes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
E mergulhei até encontrar você
Sonhando o futuro
Eu vim pra te ver, pra te acompanhar
Mudar a direção do nosso amor
E acender tudo
Podemos misturar sons, fazendo as canções
Amor para sempre, amar é o que vale
Só não quero mais duvidar de nós
Nem viver só
Você tem o dom de me transportar
Me leva pra bem longe, amor
Me faz qualquer absurdo
Da vida real nem quero saber mais
Eu mergulhei no fundo com você
Dei voltas no mundo
Agora vamos nós dois
Ou multiplicar três
Eu nunca imaginei a gente assim, tanto amor
Amor para sempre, amar é o que vale
Só não podemos duvidar de nós
Nem vivermos sós
A nossa estrela vai brilhar
Na correnteza te encontrar
E navegar na imensidão
Me leva para onde você for
Faça de mim um sonhador
E estaremos sempre juntos
No som, minha estrela guia
No céu, nosso dia a dia
O amor acendendo tudo
Canção pra trazer você pra perto de mim
The lyrics of Beto Guedes's song Sonhando o Futuro reflect a passionate declaration of love between two people who have found each other in the depths of life. The singer eloquently expresses how he was drawn to his love interest through the sound and air, and he takes delight in the fact that he has found her. According to the lyrics, both protagonists became so deeply involved with one another that they decided to accompany each other into the future, despite the uncertainty that this decision may bring. The future represents a dream – a world where they can change the course of their love and light up everything with their passion.
Guedes goes on to stress the irrelevance of reality, beyond living, dreaming, and loving. The lovers feel that they can mix different sounds and songs to create something entirely unique; their passion and love drive them to face the world together. In the end, the lyrics of the song describe a journey of discovery, an adventure full of love and hopes for the future, and a declaration that they will remain united despite what the future may hold.

Eu vim pelo som, eu vim pelo ar
I came through sound and through the air
E mergulhei até encontrar você
And I dived until I found you
Sonhando o futuro
Dreaming of the future
Eu vim pra te ver, pra te acompanhar
I came to see you, to accompany you
Mudar a direção do nosso amor
To change the direction of our love
E acender tudo
And light everything up
Podemos misturar sons, fazendo as canções
We can mix sounds, creating songs
Eu nunca imaginei a gente assim, tanto amor
I never imagined us like this, so much love
Amor para sempre, amar é o que vale
Love forever, love is what matters
Só não quero mais duvidar de nós
I just don't want to doubt us anymore
Nem viver só
Nor to live alone
Você tem o dom de me transportar
You have the gift of transporting me
Me leva pra bem longe, amor
Take me far away, my love
Me faz qualquer absurdo
Make me do any absurdity
Da vida real nem quero saber mais
I don't want to know about real life anymore
Eu mergulhei no fundo com você
I dived deep with you
Dei voltas no mundo
I went around the world
Agora vamos nós dois
Now it's just the two of us
Ou multiplicar três
Or multiply by three
Só não podemos duvidar de nós
We just can't doubt ourselves
Nem vivermos sós
Nor live alone
A nossa estrela vai brilhar
Our star will shine
Na correnteza te encontrar
To find you in the current
E navegar na imensidão
And sail through the immensity
Me leva para onde você for
Take me wherever you go
Faça de mim um sonhador
Make me a dreamer
E estaremos sempre juntos
And we will always be together
No som, minha estrela guia
In the sound, my guiding star
No céu, nosso dia a dia
In the sky, our day to day
O amor acendendo tudo
Love lighting up everything
Canção pra trazer você pra perto de mim
Song to bring you closer to me
