Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ilumina meu céu
Me tira esse fel
Adoça o meu viver
Estrela!
Nossa felicidade
Quer reinar de verdade
Não quer nos ver sofrer
Meu mundo vai ficar blue
Quando teu beijo for meu
E o teu lindo corpo nú
Vir buscar o que é teu
A nossa relação
Tem que se eternizar
Pois foi no teu carinho
Que eu aprendi lhe a amar
Eu sou feito um beija-flor
À caça de uma flor
À procura de um perfume
Que desperte o nosso amor
E sei que dessa flor
Posso encontrar bem mais
Que néctar, e odor
Posso encontrar a paz
Estrela!
Ilumina meu céu
Me tira esse fel
Adoça o meu viver
Estrela!
Nossa felicidade
Quer reinar de verdade
Não quer nos ver sofrer
Meu mundo vai ficar blue
Quando teu beijo for meu
E o teu lindo corpo nú
Vir buscar o que é teu
A nossa relação
Tem que se eternizar
Pois foi no teu carinho
Que eu aprendi lhe a amar
Eu sou feito um beija-flor
À caça de uma flor
À procura de um perfume
Que desperte o nosso amor
E sei que dessa flor
Posso encontrar bem mais
Que néctar, e odor
Posso encontrar a paz
Estrela!
Ilumina meu céu
Me tira esse fel
Adoça o meu viver
Estrela!
Nossa felicidade
Quer reinar de verdade
Não quer nos ver sofrer
The lyrics of Exaltasamba's song Estrela express a deep desire for the presence of a guiding star to bring happiness and sweeten life. The singer longs for the star's light to shine upon his world and remove his bitterness. He hopes for a fulfilling relationship with someone who would bring him peace and treats him with affection. In the quest for this love, he compares himself to a hummingbird seeking the right flower to pollinate, hoping to find something more than just a fleeting love. The song emphasizes the need for sustained love, and the desire to overcome sufferings to find pure happiness. The lyrics are a dedication to the power of love, the strength that it brings, and the happiness it provides through its companionship.
The singer desires someone who will be an anchor in his life, so he uses a metaphor of a star to signify this. The lyrics suggest that the singer has experienced significant hardships and longs for a peaceful life. The line "Meu mundo vai ficar blue" (my world will turn blue) expresses the singer's distresses, but he hopes whoever this person is, they will take away his pain and suffering. "Estrela" means "star" in Portuguese, and the repetition of the word signifies the importance of the star in the singer's life; the star is a guiding force following the singer's wishes of overcoming sufferings and finding peace in life.
