Varrendo a Lua

Roberta Campos' song 'Varrendo a Lua' is a delicate and introspective exploration of love, dreams, and the bittersweet nature of relationships. The lyrics begin with the narrator expressing gratitude for the peace and dreams brought into their life by their partner. This initial sense of tranquility and shared dreams sets a hopeful and serene tone, suggesting a deep emotional connection between the two individuals.

As the song progresses, the narrative takes a turn when the partner leaves, metaphorically splitting the dream in two. This act of departure transforms the shared love into a fragmented dream, highlighting the pain and disillusionment that often accompany the end of a relationship. Despite this, the narrator chooses to smile and continue living in the world they created together, indicating a sense of resilience and the ability to find solace in the memories of their time together.

The recurring imagery of 'varrendo a lua' (sweeping the moon) and 'varrendo a tua solidão' (sweeping your loneliness) serves as a poignant metaphor for the narrator's efforts to alleviate their partner's loneliness and maintain a sense of connection, even in their absence. This act of sweeping the moon symbolizes an almost magical attempt to cleanse and heal the emotional wounds left behind. Roberta Campos' gentle and soothing musical style complements the lyrical content, creating a reflective and emotionally resonant experience for the listener.
