Sagitarius
Os Mutantes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sou como um pingo d'água tenho meu lugar para cair
Centauros pela estrada e não adianta desviar
Sou sagitarius
Flechas no coração

Amor eu sou como nasci eu sou o que eu vivi
E não vou mudar tão depressa
Não vou

O mesmo amor que ponho dentro da canção
É o que eu vou lhe dar
Te tocando
Não tenho auras pra sentir o meu amor
Não me leve a mal por favor

Mas é que eu
Sou sagitarius
Flechas de ilusão

Amor eu sou como nasci
Eu sou o que eu vivi
E não vou mudar tão depressa
Não, não vou

Eu vou-me embora agora
Pra não te magoar, amor
Toda a minha alma chora
Pra não te magoar, amor

Sou sagitarius
Flechas de ilusão

Amor eu sou como nasci




Eu sou o que eu vivi
E não vou mudar tão depressa

Overall Meaning

The song "Sagitarius" by Os Mutantes explores themes of love, identity, and acceptance. The song opens with the singer likening themselves to a droplet of water, acknowledging their place in the world and their inability to change the path they are on. The reference to centaurs on the road suggests a journey, and an inevitability to the singer's fate. The chorus reveals that the singer is a Sagittarius, represented by arrows in the heart, which could symbolize the intensity of their emotions or the pain they have endured in love.


The second verse continues with the theme of identity, with the singer asserting that they are the sum of their experiences and cannot change quickly. They describe their love as something they put into their music and that they will give to their partner by touching them. The third verse departs from the earlier themes with the singer choosing to leave their partner to avoid hurting them, perhaps acknowledging that their Sagittarian traits of impulsiveness and restlessness may not be compatible with a stable relationship.


Overall, the song seems to be grappling with the notion of acceptance and self-acceptance, possibly reflecting the turbulent political and cultural climate in Brazil during the time the song was written.
