O Sonho
Elis Regina Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sinto que a hora saltou
Meu foguete some queimando espaço
Tudo vejo e abraço a vaidade
Estou morando em pleno céu
Namorando o azul

Ando no espaço, rondo
Meu foquete some deixando traços
Entre estrelas vejo a liberdade
E vou tocar por todo o céu
E revelo paz

Busco cores e imagens
Faltam pássaros e flores
Coração na mão
Corpo solto estou
Entre estrelas vou deitar
Vestir luar

Indo de encontro ao riso
Tô com o arco minguante
E o sol queimando a pele branca
Despertando
Vejo a cama e meu amor




Acordado estou
Choro, choro, choro...

Overall Meaning

The song "O Sonho" by Elis Regina is a beautiful expression of the dream of transcendence and the longing for spiritual liberation. The lyrics describe the feeling of soaring through space in a rocket and being surrounded by the vast expanse of the cosmos. The singer feels a profound sense of joy and vanity as she basks in the beauty of the blue sky and the stars. She is completely free of worldly concerns and is focused only on the blissful, boundless heavens.


The singer's journey takes her on a spiritual quest for peace and enlightenment. She searches for color and images, but finds a lack of nature's beauty. The line "Coração na mão, corpo solto estou" suggests that the singer has a sense of emotional vulnerability and physical relaxation as she travels through space. Her journey takes her through the stars, where she lies down and dresses in moonlight. Finally, she meets her lover and experiences a sense of awakening and renewed passion. Despite the overwhelming joy, she also feels a sense of sadness, as expressed through the repeated phrase "Choro, choro, choro" at the end of the song.
