Varrendo a Lua
Roberta Campos Lyrics

The lyrics to Roberta Campos's "Varrendo a Lua" explore the transformative power of love and its ability to bring peace and joy to one's life. The opening line, "Você me deu, me deu a paz" (You gave me, gave me peace), suggests that the singer has found inner peace and contentment through a romantic relationship. The following line, "e fez de mim um sonho, um sonho a mais" (and turned me into a dream, one more dream), implies that the singer feels like they are living in a dream world, filled with happiness and fulfillment.

However, the second verse introduces a new dynamic to the relationship. "Você partiu o sonho em dois" (You split the dream in two) suggests that there has been a rupture in the relationship. Despite this setback, the singer still sees the beauty in their love: "e fez do amor tudo um sonho de nós" (and turned love into everything, a dream of us). They are willing to lie and put on a brave face in order to stay by their partner's side, stating "passei então a sorrir do seu lado" (so I began to smile by your side). They have even built their own world around their relationship, highlighting the depth of their love.

The chorus, "Varrendo a lua, varrendo a tua solidão / varrendo a lua, a tua solidão" (Sweeping the moon, sweeping your loneliness / sweeping the moon, your loneliness), adds a bittersweet edge to the song. It seems that despite the happiness and love they have found, there is still a sense of loneliness and longing that remains. The idea of sweeping the moon suggests an unattainable task, highlighting the complex nature of human emotions and relationships.
