Jardim Dos Animais

Waldonys' song 'Jardim Dos Animais' is a poetic exploration of love, nature, and the human condition. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the natural world, juxtaposed with the emotional landscape of the narrator. The song begins with the imagery of dawn and dusk, symbolizing the cycle of life and the passage of time. The narrator's heart, however, is filled with loneliness, a sentiment that contrasts sharply with the vastness of the earth described in the opening lines. This sets the stage for a journey of seeking love and connection.

The chorus reveals the narrator's deep yearning for love and companionship. The lines 'Eu quero todo teu amor / Que todo mundo saiba' express a desire for a love so profound that it becomes known to everyone. The metaphor of 'fogo' (fire) and 'palha' (straw) suggests a passionate and consuming love. The narrator's plea for a 'verso novo' (new verse) indicates a longing for renewal and continuation in their relationship. This desire for love is set against a backdrop of chaos and destruction, as the 'fera' (beast) represents the darker forces in the world, tearing apart the fabric of society.

The song's title, 'Jardim Dos Animais' (Garden of Animals), evokes a sense of Edenic paradise, a place where love and nature coexist harmoniously. The narrator dreams of making love in this paradise, where the natural world and human emotions are in perfect balance. However, the reality is fraught with challenges, as indicated by the lines 'Perigo é tudo que separa / A dor e o sorriso' (Danger is everything that separates / Pain and smile). The song concludes with a sense of urgency and desperation, as the narrator's 'natureza' (nature) can no longer endure the separation and longing. Waldonys masterfully blends themes of love, nature, and existential struggle, creating a rich tapestry of emotions and imagery.
