Aruanda
Carlos Lyra Lyrics

The lyrics of the song Aruanda by Carlos Lyra convey a message of hope and escapism, urging the listener to leave behind their troubles and sorrows and seek refuge in the enchanting paradise of Aruanda. The repetition of the phrases "vai, vai, vai" and "vem, vem, vem" creates a sense of urgency, encouraging the listener to embark on this journey immediately. The two places mentioned in the song, Aruanda and Luanda, add to the mystique and symbolism of the lyrics. Aruanda is a mythical place in Brazilian folklore, believed to be a haven for spirits and a place of spiritual healing. Luanda, on the other hand, is the capital city of Angola and represents the starting point of this journey towards Aruanda.

As the lyrics state, in Aruanda, there is no more sadness, only beauty. It is a place where one can escape the troubles of the world and find peace. The repetition of the phrase "ouve essa voz que te chama" (listen to the voice that calls you) adds to the mystical and otherworldly nature of the song. The lyrics suggest that there is a higher power calling the listener to Aruanda and that by following this call, they will find the peace and happiness that they seek.
