O Vento Noturno do Verão
Nando Reis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Encaixo as Ravenalas só nem via os raios que os astros do alto do arco faziam girar seu lapso
Perfeito
Porque eu só vi direito, após vir o defeito eleito prÂ'uma imagem.
Como a coragem que nos traz o soprar do vento noturno do verão
Quando as miragens vieram riscar o núcleo do futuro na palma das mãos
Somos capazes de pensar, mas não deixo de admirar
para ser
pára
pára sem perceber
para ver
para ter
para pertencer
ao que os nossos olhares assistem
nesses mesmos lugares que existem
há milhares de anos
onde cabe tudo
E aqui na Terra embrulhada pelos ares
enfeitada pelas árvores
e encharcada por seus mares tão fundos
Uma ladeira que subimos numa terça-feira
nos fez ficar bem juntos
Para quê ?
Pára,
separa escolher.
Para te
para me
para conhecer.
para ser
pára
pára sem perceber
para ver
para ter
para pertencer
The lyrics of Nando Reis's O Vento Noturno do Verão (The Summer Night Wind) convey a sense of nostalgia and reflection. The first verse describes a memory of climbing a hill with someone, possibly a friend or a lover, and slipping down to the schoolyard. Despite being surrounded by the beauty of nature, the singer was focused on placing a Ravenala plant and did not notice the stars above until a flaw in the image revealed itself. This flaw could represent a mistake in judgment or the realization of an underlying issue in the relationship with the person he was climbing the hill with.
The second verse describes the courage that comes from the night wind in summer, which is often a refreshing and inspiring experience. The singer acknowledges that although humans have the ability to think critically and deeply, nature's simple existence is just as remarkable. He marvels at the rocks that do not need to breathe to survive, and the way they have existed for thousands of years in the same place. The chorus emphasizes the idea of stopping to appreciate and belong to the world around us. It calls on the listener to be present in the same places that have existed for millennia and to find meaning in them.
