Paraíso
Leandro & Leonardo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Vem a Lua Cheia mostrar o sorriso
Conto as estrelas sentado no chão
Toda a natureza canta esta canção
Laralá lá lá...
Tenho uma casinha e uma caboclinha
Todos os passarinhos vêm nos visitar
Fazem festa para o dia amanhecer
Laralá lá lá...
The lyrics to Leandro & Leonardo's song Paraíso evoke a sense of peace and serenity that comes with being in nature. The song opens with the image of the sun setting in the singer's paradise, and the moon taking its place to bring a smile to his face. The singer then recounts sitting on the ground and counting the stars, while "all of nature" sings a song that he hears.
The second verse paints a picture of a simple life, with a small home and a childhood sweetheart with whom the singer plays hide and seek in the fields. The birds come to visit, and they celebrate the dawn of a new day. Together, these lyrics suggest a deep connection to the natural world and a longing for a simpler time when life was less complicated.
Overall, Paraíso speaks to our innate desire for peace and tranquility in a world that often seems chaotic and confusing. By communing with nature and cherishing the simple pleasures of life, we can find a sense of calm and contentment that eludes us in our daily lives.
