Dream A Little Dream Of Me
Zélia Duncan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"
Birds singing in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me
Say "Night-ie night" and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Stars fading, but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear
Just saying this
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
Stars fading, but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear
Just saying this
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries far behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
The song Dream A Little Dream Of Me, originally recorded in 1931, is a soothing and romantic lullaby that encourages the listener to dream of their heart's desire. In her interpretation, Brazilian singer Zélia Duncan takes a contemporary approach to the classic tune, infusing it with her unique style and sincere vocals. The lyrics are filled with evocative imagery, including starry skies, night breezes, and singing birds. The singer implores their loved one to dream of them, to hold them tight and tell them they'll be missed, and to wish for sweet dreams that leave all worries behind.
As the song progresses, the singer lingers on the hope of being with their beloved and savors the thought of being held until dawn. Despite the uncertainty of what the future may bring, the singer remains confident in their love and in their ability to sweeten their loved one's dreams.
Throughout the song, the lyrics are rich with symbolism and metaphor. The stars represent hope and possibility, while the sycamore tree is a symbol of strength and durability. The night breezes and singing birds create a sense of calm and tranquility, suggesting that even in the midst of life's struggles, there is still beauty to be found. The final line of the song, "But in your dreams whatever they be, dream a little dream of me," encapsulates the essence of the song's message - to stay true to one's heart and to always aim for the sweetest dreams.

I hope you dream of me and the love that we share

QUE VOZ!!! MARAVILHA DE INTERPRETAÇÃO, ZELIA COMO SEMPRE ARRASA!!!
Rafael Vieira Jr.
Já ouvi quase todas as gravações dessa canção e a Zélia simplesmente arrasou. Sem dúvida, uma das melhores interpretações, comparável às de Louis Armstrong e Ella Fotzgerald, que considero as top. Mesmo assim, não estou surpreso. Sempre esperei o melhor da Zélia e ela nunca fez menos que o máximo.
