O sonho
Ralph Myerz/The Jack Herren Band Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Quem contar
Um sonho que sonhou
Não conta tudo o que encontrou
Contar um sonho é proibido

Eu sonhei
Um sonho com amor
E uma janela e uma flor

Uma fonte de água e o meu amigo
E não havia mais nada
Só nós, a luz, e mais nada
Ali morou o amor

Amor

Amor que trago em segredo
Num sonho que não vou contar
E cada dia é mais sentido

Amor,
Eu tenho amor bem escondido

Num sonho que não sei contar
E guardarei sempre comigo

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ralph Myerz/The Jack Herren Band's song O Sonho convey a beautiful dream about love and friendship that the dreamer is hesitant to share with others. The first stanza sets the stage, stating that whoever shares a dream they've had doesn't reveal everything they experienced. The dreamer then reveals their own dream, which included love, a window, a flower, a fountain, and their friend. The dream went on to focus solely on these elements, and the powerful feeling of love that was present within the dream.

The chorus emphasizes the importance of this love - it's a beautiful feeling that is held close to the dreamer's heart, yet it's not something they're willing to share with the world. The chorus repeats the idea that the love is held in secret, within a dream that the dreamer won't describe.

Overall, the song is a lovely ode to love and the powerful, personal nature of dreams. The dreamer treasures the love they experienced within the dream, highlighting how love can be found in the most unexpected places and moments in life.
