Antes Que A Cidade Durma
Wanderléa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Antes que se torne noite nosso entardecer
Diz pra si, menino
Caminhar enquanto há luz na estrada
Antes que a cidade durma
Antes do anoitecer
Vem, vamos entrar na estrada
Diz pra si, menino
Caminhar enquanto há luz na estrada
Antes que a cidade durma
Antes do anoitecer
Fui o personagem da novela
Bate na sua cabeça
Que esse mundo é azul
Vem, vamos entrar na estrada
Antes que se torne noite nosso entardecer
Diz pra si, menino
Caminhar enquanto há luz na estrada
Antes que a cidade durma
Antes do anoitecer
Vem, vamos entrar na estrada
Antes que se torne noite nosso entardecer
Diz pra si, menino...
In Wanderléa's song Antes Que a Cidade Durma, the lyrics speak about the urgency and importance of seizing the moment before it's too late. The song urges the listener to take action and go on a journey before the sun sets, while there is still light on the road. The repeated phrase "antes que a cidade durma" (before the city sleeps) emphasizes the need to move quickly towards an adventure before it's too late.
The lyrics suggest that the author of the song was once stuck in the same mundane routine of city life and had an epiphany, realizing the world is full of beauty yet to be explored. This is conveyed through the line "fui o personagem da novela" (I was the character in the novel), which implies she was just going through the motions like a scripted character. The line "bate na sua cabeça que esse mundo é azul" (hit your head that this world is blue) represents a realization that the world is full of beauty, and it's up to the listener to take action and explore it.
