A Árvore Dos Encantados

Cordel Do Fogo Encantado's song "A Árvore Dos Encantados" is a poetic and mystical exploration of human emotions, spirituality, and the cyclical nature of life. The lyrics are rich with imagery and metaphors that evoke a sense of both wonder and dread. The song begins with a call to action, urging the listener to wake up and face the challenges ahead, symbolized by a 'war' on their path. This war could be interpreted as the internal and external struggles we all face in life.

The song then delves into a series of vivid images, such as 'the ashes of time,' 'the dances of fire,' and 'the thunder that escaped.' These elements suggest themes of destruction and rebirth, purification, and the relentless passage of time. The mention of 'the blind man smiling in the fog of the fair' adds a layer of mysticism, hinting at the idea that true vision and understanding come from within, rather than from external appearances.

The recurring motif of the 'Árvore dos Encantados' (The Enchanted Tree) serves as a symbol of refuge and spiritual grounding. The narrator expresses fear but also a sense of duty and courage, as they return to the tree's shadow. This duality of fear and bravery is encapsulated in the line 'Em cima do medo coragem' (Above fear, courage). The song ultimately conveys a message of resilience and the importance of facing one's fears to find inner strength and enlightenment.
