Vivo Sonhando
Wanda De Sah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sonhando mil horas sem fim
Tempo em que vou perguntando
Se gostas de mim
Tempo de falar em estrelas
Falar de um mar
De um céu assim
Falar do bem que se tem mas você não vem
Você não vindo,
Não vindo a vida tem fim
Gente que passa sorrindo zombando de mim
E eu a falar em estrelas, mar, amor, luar
Pobre de mim que só sei te amar
The lyrics of Wanda De Sah's Vivo Sonhando are about a person who is hopelessly in love with someone who doesn't love them back. The song begins by talking about the person's dreams; the dreams that they have been dreaming for countless hours, without any end. In their dreams, the person questions whether the person they love also loves them back. They talk about talking about the stars, the sea, and a sky like this that they can speak about, but they cannot talk about the good things in life because the person they love isn't coming.
As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the person they love is not coming. The endless waiting, the daydreaming and the speaking of beautiful things becomes meaningless. People pass them by, laughing and making fun of the person who is still waiting for someone who isn't coming. The song ends with the person lamenting on their own love, that they only know how to love the person who isn't coming, regardless of whether they love them back or not.
Overall, Vivo Sonhando is a melancholic song about unrequited love. The lyrics, which are simple yet poetic, evoke a sense of sadness and longing.

Vivo sonhando
I am constantly dreaming
Sonhando mil horas sem fim
I am dreaming endlessly for a thousand hours
Tempo em que vou perguntando
I spend my time asking
Se gostas de mim
If you like me or not
Tempo de falar em estrelas
Time to talk about stars
Falar de um mar, de um céu assim
Talk about a sea, and a sky like that
Falar do bem que se tem mas você não vem
Talking about the good things that could be, but you are not coming
Não vem
You are not coming
Você não vindo, não vindo a vida tem fim
If you are not coming, life would come to an end
Gente que passa sorrindo zombando de mim
People passing by me, smiling and mocking me
E eu a falar em estrelas, mar, amor, luar
And I am talking about stars, sea, love, moonlight
Pobre de mim que só sei te amar
Poor me, who only knows how to love you
