Estrelas do rock'n roll

The song 'Estrelas do rock'n roll' by Delfins is a poetic homage to the enduring legacy of rock'n roll icons. The lyrics reflect on the timeless presence of these stars, who have been around for so long that their influence is almost taken for granted. The opening lines suggest a sense of wonder and disbelief at how these stars have remained relevant over the years, almost as if their presence is a natural part of the universe. This can be seen in the lines 'há tanto tempo que eles estão aqui, passaram anos e eu nem percebi,' which translate to 'they have been here for so long, years have passed, and I didn't even notice.'

The song also delves into the mystical and almost otherworldly nature of these rock'n roll stars. The repeated questioning of 'quem as viu?' ('who saw them?') adds a layer of mystery, as if these stars are elusive, almost mythical beings. The lyrics 'há estrelas que brilham de noite, são as estrelas no rock'n roll' ('there are stars that shine at night, they are the stars of rock'n roll') emphasize their eternal glow, suggesting that their influence and brilliance are not bound by time or space. This metaphor of stars shining without the sun further underscores their unique and self-sustaining brilliance.

Moreover, the song touches on the themes of loss and remembrance. The lines 'quem partiu e quem ficou? sabe o céu quem aproveitou!' ('who left and who stayed? the sky knows who took advantage!') reflect on the transient nature of life and fame. Yet, despite the inevitable passing of some stars, their legacy continues to shine brightly. The repeated refrain 'estrelas do rock'n roll' serves as a powerful reminder of the lasting impact these icons have on the world, their light continuing to inspire and illuminate even in their absence.
