Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pra sereia do mar
A sereia canta
Eu não vi cantar
O canto da sereia Oxum
Me faz adimirar
Saia do mar venha brincar na areia
Saia do mar sereia linda
Saia do mar venha brincar sozinha
The lyrics of "Sereia" by Ley Line portray a connection between the siren of the sea and the power of the natural elements. The song consists of four stanzas with the repetition of the main motif in the first and last. The first stanza introduces the setting of the song, where the rotation of the earth creates a path for the siren to travel. The second stanza emphasizes the unique quality of the siren's singing that attracts the listener despite its invisibility. The third stanza mentions the name Oxum, which in Afro-Brazilian mythology is the goddess of love, fertility, and prosperity, and suggests the siren's voice has divine powers. The fourth stanza is an invitation to the siren to come out of the sea and play on the shore.
Overall, the song reflects on the mysterious powers of nature and the siren's relationship with it. The siren symbolizes not only the beauty and allure of the sea but also the unseen forces that govern the world. The invitation to come out of the sea indicates the human desire to connect with this mystical realm and experience its magic.
