Os Anjos
Nei Van Sória Lyrics

The lyrics of "Os Anjos" by Nei Van Sória explore the idea that angels think and behave differently from humans. The opening lines, "De toda maneira, por sorte ou azar, Os anjos não pensam como nós" (In any case, by luck or misfortune, Angels do not think like us), suggest that angels have a different perspective and mindset.

The following verses describe how people sometimes do things secretly, but angels watch and take note of their actions. "Às vezes as pessoas, Fazem coisas às escondidas, Do céu, o anjo espia, E anota na sua vida" (Sometimes people do things in secret, From the sky, the angel spies, And makes notes in their lives). This highlights the idea that angels are aware of the hidden aspects of human behavior.

The lyrics then mention how the night reveals dreams of a better world, but simultaneously traps an angel in a cycle that leads to their downfall. "A noite sempre revela, Os sonhos de um mundo melhor, O ciclo que repete todos os dias, Faz um anjo cair numa armadilha" (The night always reveals, Dreams of a better world, The cycle that repeats every day, Makes an angel fall into a trap). This could symbolize the struggle between the desire for change and the inevitable repetition of negative patterns.

The chorus repeats the lines "De toda maneira, por sorte ou azar, Os anjos não pensam como nós, A vida inteira você sonhou em ser um anjo, Os anjos não sonham como nós" (In any case, by luck or misfortune, Angels do not think like us, Your whole life you dreamed of being an angel, Angels do not dream like us). These lines emphasize the disconnect between human aspirations and the reality of being an angel. It suggests that even if we dream of being angels or having guardian angels, their mindset and dreams are fundamentally different from ours.

Overall, "Os Anjos" reflects on the contrasting nature of angels' thoughts and behavior compared to humans. It explores the idea that angels observe and take note of our actions, but they possess a distinct perspective and function in the world. The lyrics hint at the limitations of human dreams and desires, contrasting them with the unique nature of angelic existence.
