Porto Do Sol
Edú Lobo Lyrics

The lyrics to Edú Lobo's song "Porto Do Sol" tell a story of someone living in a place where no one knows them. The first stanza repeats the phrase "No porto do sol ninguém sabia," meaning "No one knew in the port of the sun." This creates a feeling of isolation and anonymity for the subject of the song. The next stanza introduces the character of Ana, who is waiting for the sun but no one expected it. The repetition of "o sol no rosto" and "o sol no corpo um dia" emphasizes the longing for the warmth of the sun on one's face and body. The lyrics "bendito é o fruto do nosso ventre, bendita a semente, marinheiro do sol" can be interpreted as a celebration of life and the sun as a symbol of fertility and growth.

The third stanza again repeats the phrase "No porto do sol," but now at midday, and the subject is shown wandering aimlessly without direction. The repetition of the longing for the sun in the previous stanza takes on a new meaning as the subject seeks not only warmth but also a sense of purpose. Overall, the lyrics of "Porto Do Sol" evoke a sense of longing and isolation while celebrating the life-giving power of the sun.
