Barbarella
Barbarella
Barbarella
Na dimensão azul e rosa
No infinito celestial da quinta galáxia
Quem me dera eu ser intergaláctico
Para dorminod nas estrelas
Só falando de amor com você
Ontem eu sonhei com você, Barbarella
Ontem eu sonhei com vocÊ, Barbarella
No meu sonho o céu explodiu com tamanha concussão
Qu um asteróide danificou minha bela astronave
Me mandando de volta pra terra
Ontem eu sonhei com você, Barbarella
Ontem eu sonhei com você, Barbarella
Barbarella, meu desejo
Uma terrestre na frente
Barbarella, a Vênus em pessoa
No próximo foguete pra lua eu vou atrás de você
Ora se vou
Ontem eu sonhei com você, Barbarella
Ontem eu sonhei com você, Barbarella
Barbarella

Overall Meaning

The song "Barbarella" by Jorge Ben depicts a dream where the singer longs to be intergalactic and travel through the celestial dimensions of the fifth galaxy with the one he loves, named Barbarella. Within his dream, the sky explodes with a great concussion caused by an asteroid that damages his ship, forcing him to return to earth. Despite this, he still desires to be with Barbarella, who he describes as a Venus in person. He ruminates on his dream, lamenting his inability to be with her, and expresses his desire to travel to the moon in order to be with her. The repetition of her name throughout the song emphasizes his desire for her and his dreamlike state.


From this perspective, the song can be interpreted as a yearning for something greater than the current realities one faces. The dream of intergalactic travel reflects the desire for the unknown and the attainment of something beyond the mundane. The choice of using the name Barbarella, made famous by the science fiction movie of the same name, further strengthens this interpretation. Her character, a strong and independent woman who navigates the perils of space, represents the overcoming of obstacles and the attainment of goals through great effort and determination.
