Sonho de Amor

“Sonho de Amor” by Banda Aveloz is a poetic and romantic song that delves into the theme of longing and the magical nature of love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a dreamlike scenario where the narrator wishes for their love to come true. The imagery of a shooting star crossing the sky and igniting a flame within the narrator symbolizes a deep desire and hope for a romantic connection. This celestial event sets the stage for the narrator to make a wish, calling upon their beloved to join them in the beginning of a beautiful dream.

The song continues to weave a tapestry of cosmic metaphors, with the universe trembling and stars spinning like a carousel as witnesses to the love between the narrator and their partner. This portrayal of love as a powerful, almost otherworldly force, emphasizes its significance and the profound impact it has on the individuals involved. The heartbeat metaphor, calming after an explosive moment, suggests the intense emotions and eventual tranquility that true love brings.

In the latter part of the song, the narrator reveals their patience and secret longing, confiding in the night and the moon about their feelings. The rhetorical question, “If you are real, why don’t you come?” underscores the uncertainty and yearning that often accompany unfulfilled love. The recurring phrase “Oh, sonho de amor” (Oh, dream of love) encapsulates the essence of the song, highlighting the blend of hope, desire, and the ethereal quality of romantic dreams.
