Sonhando

In 'Sonhando,' Mara Lima beautifully captures the essence of spiritual longing and the desire for a heavenly home. The song's lyrics express a deep yearning to experience the divine and to be in the presence of Jesus Christ. The opening lines, 'Ah! Como eu queria conhecer o céu,' set the tone for the entire song, revealing a heartfelt wish to know and experience heaven. This longing is not just a fleeting thought but a recurring dream that brings comfort and hope to the singer's life.

The imagery of Jerusalem and the act of singing with cherubim highlight the song's religious and spiritual themes. Jerusalem, often referred to as the Holy City, symbolizes a place of peace, purity, and divine presence. By dreaming of this city, the singer connects with a sense of eternal peace and divine love. The repetition of 'Sonhando' (dreaming) emphasizes the ongoing nature of this spiritual journey and the hope that one day, these dreams will become a reality.

Mara Lima's lyrics also touch on the emotional aspect of this longing. The lines 'Estas lágrimas que molham o meu rosto / Não iriam mais rolar' convey a deep sense of relief and joy at the thought of being free from earthly sorrows and pains. The dream of being 'juntinho de Jesus livre da dor' (close to Jesus, free from pain) and singing hymns with angels reflects a profound desire for eternal happiness and spiritual fulfillment. Through 'Sonhando,' Mara Lima invites listeners to share in this dream and find solace in the hope of a heavenly future.
