Clair De Lune

The song 'Clair De Lune' by Sagrado Coração da Terra is a poetic and ethereal exploration of love, time, and the ephemeral nature of life. The title itself, which translates to 'Light of the Moon,' sets the stage for a journey under the moonlight, inviting listeners to sail through a sea of stars. The imagery of 'azul turquesa' (turquoise blue) and 'terno céu do amor' (tender sky of love) evokes a serene and romantic atmosphere, suggesting a deep connection between the physical and the spiritual realms.

The lyrics delve into the fleeting nature of life with phrases like 'vida breve, infinita' (brief, infinite life) and 'cachoeira do tempo' (waterfall of time). These metaphors highlight the paradox of life's brevity and its infinite moments, captured in the 'pérolas perdidas' (lost pearls) that symbolize both joy and pain. The song reflects on how these moments, though transient, leave a lasting impact on our hearts and souls, much like the luminous path of moonlight guiding us through the night.

As the song progresses, it speaks of returning from this celestial journey, descending the 'escadas de luar' (stairs of moonlight) back to reality. The imagery of 'areia e prata, ouro em pó' (sand and silver, gold dust) signifies the remnants of a dream, the precious memories of love and aspirations that linger even after the dream has ended. The final lines, 'num segundo só, clarão de luar, pulsar do coração' (in just a second, moonlight flash, heartbeat), encapsulate the essence of the song—how a single moment of clarity and love can resonate deeply within us, much like the pulsating rhythm of our hearts.
