Sonho de Arte
Fagner Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Se este mundo é um demonio
Nós somos dele uma parte
E se a vida é só um sonho
Que seja um sonho de arte

Que tenha os lábios da moça
E a roupa de zuarte
A escuridão do poço
E a decisão de quem parte

Quem parte, se está vazio
Pode de tudo encontrar
Pode suportar o frio
Pode rir pode chorar

Mas tem que tirar sorrindo
Os espinhos da aflição
Por que do sonho perdido
Se aprende a perdição

Quem aprende a perdição
Já nada tem a perder
Já não comete pecado
Se faz a terra tremer

Pode ver verdade e arte
No corpo de uma mulher




Sair sem rumo de tarde
E voltar quando quiser

Overall Meaning

In "Sonho de Arte," Fagner muses on the nature of existence. He begins with an acknowledgment that the world can be a dark and sinister place, suggesting that it may be representative of the demonic. However, he suggests that even in this dark world, individuals can find a sense of purpose and meaning through artistic expression. Fagner echoes the sentiment of many Romantic poets and painters, proposing that art can transcend the mundane and create a sense of majesty and transcendence. He argues that if life is nothing more than a dream, we should strive for it to be a dream of art, filled with all the beauty and passion that we can imagine.


Fagner expands on these themes by painting a picture of the idealized dream world he envisions. He describes a woman with red lips and clothing reminiscent of Zuarte (a Portuguese painter suggesting a visual reference to art). He then suggests that even the darkness of the world, represented by a well, can be made beautiful through art, and those who leave it behind must have the determination to leave it behind and start anew. He emphasizes the power of personal choice to face the world's trials and tribulations, suggesting that we must learn to smile through our pain and heartache. Fagner offers a sense of optimism that even when things seem their darkest, we can find hope through the beauty of creation.
