Méditation
Luiz Eca & Astor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Quem acreditou
No amor, no sorriso, na flor
Então sonhou, sonhou
E perdeu a paz
O amor, o sorriso e a flor
Se transformam depressa demais
Quem, no coração
Abrigou a tristeza de ver
Tudo isto se perder

E, na solidão
Procurou um caminho e seguiu
Já descrente de um dia feliz
Quem chorou, chorou
E tanto que seu pranto já secou
Quem depois voltou
Ao amor, ao sorriso e à flor
Então tudo encontrou
Pois a própria dor




Revelou o caminho do amor
E a tristeza acabou

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Luiz Eca & Astor's song "Meditation" speak of the transformative power of love and the trials one may face in its pursuit. The first verse acknowledges those who believed in love, smiles, and flowers and dreamed of their beauty, only to lose their peace when these things faded away too quickly. The second verse speaks of those who held onto the sadness of watching everything they cherished slip away and, in loneliness, sought a path forward without hope of a happy future. The chorus suggests that those who have suffered greatly in love can find solace in returning to it, for it is by experiencing pain that one can learn the path to love and ultimately find happiness again.
