Ô, la lá, o la lá, ê ah
Ô, la lá, o la lá, ê ê

Ô, la lá, o la lá, ê ê ah
Ô, la lá, o la lá, ê ê

Faltou luz mas era dia, o sol invadiu a sala
Fez da TV um espelho refletindo o que a gente esquecia

Faltou luz mas era dia... di-ia
Faltou luz mas era dia, dia, dia

O som das crianças brincando nas ruas
Como se fosse um quintal
A cerveja gelada na esquina
Como se espantasse o mal

Um chá pra curar essa azia
Um bom chá pra curar essa azia
Todas as ciências de baixa tecnologia
Todas as cores escondidas nas nuvens da rotina

Pra gente ver... por entre os prédios e nós...
Pra gente ver... o que sobrou do céu...

    My Interpretation

    Letra critica aos condicionamentos modernos :

    Faltou luz, mas era dia O sol invadiu a sala

    -Quem não se lembra dos apagões de verão dos anos 90... Nessas horas quem era criança ia pra rua ou pro play brincar...

    Fez da tv um espelho Refletindo o que a gente esquecia

    -O sol bate no chão a tv vira um espelho e você lembra de você e do mundo ao seu redor...

    O som das crianças Brincando nas ruas Como se fosse um quintal

    -Sem eletricidade as crianças vão brincar ao ar livre...

    A cerveja gelada na esquina Como se Espantasse o mal

    -A cerveja ajuda espantar os problemas (mal)

    O chá para curar essa azia O bom chá para curar esta azia

    -Possivel referencia velada a plantas(cogu, ervas etc) psicotrópicas. Nesse caso o chá curaria as limitações da mente (azia)

    Todas as ciências De baixa tecnologia

    -Conhecimentos (ciências) antigos passados de geração em geração insubstituiveis pela nossa tecnologia

    Todas as cores escondidas Nas nuvens da rotina

    -Nossa rotina de obrigações é como um céu nublado que nos dificulta enxergar as cores (Felicidade, Liberdade etc) que existem em nós e ao nosso redor...

    Para a gente ver Por entre prédios e nós Pra gente ver O que sobrou do céu

    -Com a mente aberta é possível ver para além da prisão urbana de predios e da nossa própria prisão da rotina. O que sobrou do céu, então, é igual ao que sobrou de nossa liberdade...

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Album art
Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Album art
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
