Seguindo No Trem Azul
Roupa Nova
The Journey of Love on the 'Blue Train'
The song 'Seguindo No Trem Azul' by Roupa Nova is a poetic exploration of love and expression. The lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and the struggle to articulate deep emotions. The protagonist confesses without fear of lying that the person they are addressing has inspired them to write, indicating that their love is a muse for creativity. However, there is an admission of difficulty in expressing feelings, a common human experience when faced with profound affection.
The recurring image of the 'blue train' serves as a metaphor for the journey of love. Offering one's heart and wishing to give the world to a loved one are romantic gestures that signify deep commitment and desire. The 'blue train' could symbolize the steady, rhythmic progression of a relationship, moving forward through time and experiences. The mention of the 'moonlight of my backcountry' adds a touch of nostalgia and roots the love in a place of warmth and familiarity.
The song also touches on the theme of shared experiences, with the singer expressing a desire to travel with their loved one until sunrise. This idea of companionship and shared dreams is central to the song's message. The offer to lend a verse for the other person to express their feelings suggests a partnership where one complements the other, helping to give voice to unspoken emotions. 'Seguindo No Trem Azul' is a tender ballad that captures the essence of love's journey, the challenges of expression, and the beauty of shared moments.
