Lavoura
Roberta Sá Lyrics

The lyrics of Roberta Sá's song, Lavoura, talk about the pain that the singer is going through at four in the morning, as the moon disappears into the black sky. The singer's hand is barely visible as they try to scribble the beginnings of a song, a futile attempt to express their feelings. The words that emerge are meaningless, and they seem to come from a place of desperation and exhaustion as if the writer wants to forget the pain of living. Love, which is supposed to bring joy and fulfillment, has instead brought only illusions and delusions, and the singer is trapped in this cycle of longing and heartbreak. Despite the despair, the singer finds solace in music, which becomes their way of coping with the pain of life.

The chorus of the song highlights the central theme - "Do ventre da solidão é que nasce o meu canto" - my song is born from the belly of loneliness. Here, the writer emphasizes the importance of loneliness in the creative process. Though solitude could be painful, it can also be a fertile ground for artistic expression, providing a space to reflect and create. The song's melody and the hauntingly beautiful vocals of Roberta Sá add to the pathos of the lyrics, creating a mood that is both melancholic and uplifting.
