Igual Aos Demais
Chiquititas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Igual e nada mais
Poder pedir um presente no natal
Soprar velinhas no meu aniversário
Realizar os meus sonhos
Conhecer os reis magos
Eu quero ver um mundo de verdade
Chegar na praia e conhecer o mar
Eu quero um carinho
Não ter mais que chorar
Por que ninguém me quer?
Eu quero ser normal!
Assim como as novelas que vejo na tv
Com um final feliz
Eu quero ser igual
Quero cruzar o céu num avião
Ver as estrelas, chegar até o sol
Sentir que o vento ensina a voar
E atrás de uma nuvem a Deus, vou encontrar
Eu quero um carinho
Não ter mais que chorar
Por que ninguém me quer?
Eu quero ser normal!
Assim como as novelas que vejo na tv
Com um final feliz
Eu quero ser igual (2x)
The lyrics of the song "Igual Aos Demais" by Chiquititas express the desires and aspirations of a child who wishes to be just like any other child. The chorus repeats the line "Eu quero um carinho, não ter mais que chorar, por que ninguém me quer? Eu quero ser normal!" which translates to "I want a hug, I don't want to cry anymore, why doesn't anyone love me? I just want to be normal!" This indicates that the child feels left out, different and unloved. They want to be able to ask for Christmas presents, blow candles on their birthday cake, realize their dreams and visit new places just like any other child.
The child wants to see a world where children can learn and play freely. They want to visit the beach and see the ocean, cross the sky in an airplane, see the stars, and reach the sun. They believe that the wind will teach them to fly and that behind the clouds, they will meet God. The child aspires to live a life like the happy endings they see in TV shows.
Overall, the lyrics of the song highlight the basic aspirations and desires of a child who wants to live a normal life, be loved and have fun. The song sends an important message about inclusion and acceptance of all children, regardless of their differences.
