Dilema

Não sei se serei capaz
Não sei
Não sei
Se serei eficaz

Olha bem para mim
Perfumes de jasmim
Nada irás saber
Segredos de não ter

Olha bem assim
Novelos de cetim
O sol a crescer
A lua adormecer

O vento tira
O que acontece
Calma respira
Diz a tua prece

Perco o meu tempo
Preso no momento
Esqueço o dilema
Fora do esquema

Olha bem assim
Novelos de cetim
O sol a crescer
A lua adormecer

Olha bem para mim
Perfumes de jasmim
Nada irás saber
Segredos de não ter

Perco o meu tempo
Preso no momento
Esqueço o dilema
Fora do esquema

O vento tira
O que acontece




Calma respira
Diz a tua prece

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Vulto Violeta's song "Dilema" talk about uncertainty, doubt, and the struggle to find one's way. The singer expresses her uncertainty about her own capabilities, wondering if she will be able to succeed or be effective in whatever she is trying to do. While she is struggling with these doubts, she invites the listener to explore her inner world, symbolized by perfumes of jasmim and novelos de cetim (silk threads).


Despite her questioning, the singer finds peace and reassurance in the natural world around her - the sun rising, the moon setting, and the wind blowing. She realizes that the wind can take away what happens, but she can stay centered and focused by calming herself down and saying a prayer.


The repeated phrase "perco o meu tempo" (I waste my time) suggests that the singer is caught up in the moment, not knowing what to do, and forgetting about the “dilema”. However, towards the end of the song, she seems to find a solution. By simply refocusing on the natural world and calming herself down, she is able to get back on track.


Overall, the song conveys a sense of uncertainty and inner turmoil along with the realization that through calmness and self-reflection, one can overcome their doubts and find their way.
