Terra
Klaus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

filho, venha até aqui, deixe-me falar.
você cresca e se espelhe em águas claras.
siga-me de perto mas não siga os que me seguem,
que seja forte e se empenhe rumo ao norte.

muito claro você verá estrelas cintilantes
das que se acendem e daquelas que se apagam.
apague a luz e as contemple pois são finitas.
lembre-se daquele sol, nunca se apague.





Overall Meaning

In Klaus's song "Terra," the lyrics convey a message from a father figure to his child. The father calls the child to come closer, inviting them to listen and learn. He advises the child to grow and take inspiration from clear waters, symbolizing purity and clarity. The father urges the child to follow closely but not to blindly imitate those who follow him, emphasizing the importance of individual strength and determination towards their own path.


The lyrics also bring attention to the transient nature of life and the universe. The father tells the child that, amidst the darkness, they will see shimmering stars, both the ones that ignite and those that fade away. This serves as a reminder of the fragility and limited nature of all things. The father encourages the child to appreciate their existence and not let their own inner light extinguish, referencing a metaphorical sun that should never fade.


Overall, "Terra" speaks to the desire of a parent or mentor to guide their child towards personal growth and independence. It highlights the importance of self-discovery, resilience, and embracing the impermanence of life.
