Alice e o Teu País
Alice No País Das Maravilhas
The Enchanting Quest for Alice's Wonderland
The song 'Alice e o Teu País' by Alice No País Das Maravilhas is a poetic exploration of the longing for a magical, idyllic place reminiscent of the fantastical world in Lewis Carroll's 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.' The lyrics express a deep yearning for a land that is described as 'marvelous and so happy,' a place that seems to exist only in the dreams of children. This evokes a sense of nostalgia and a desire to return to the innocence and wonder of childhood, where imagination knows no bounds.
The repeated question, 'Onde ele está?' (Where is it?), highlights the singer's quest to find this elusive paradise. The song suggests that this wondrous place can only be reached through dreams, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a childlike sense of wonder and the ability to dream. The lyrics convey a sense of frustration and longing, as the singer wishes to know the location of this magical land but finds that no one can provide an answer.
The song's wistful tone and repetitive structure underscore the theme of an unattainable utopia. The final lines, 'Ah, quem me dera um dia achar, o teu país' (Oh, I wish I could find your country one day), encapsulate the universal human desire to find a place of perfect happiness and peace. This longing for a utopian world reflects a deeper yearning for escape from the complexities and challenges of reality, a theme that resonates with listeners of all ages.
