Song Meaning of “Como Era Verde o Meu Xingu / Elis, um Trem de Emoções / Sonhar Não Custa Nada, ou Quase Nada” by Paulinho Mocidade
“Como era Verde o Meu Xingu / Elis, um Trem de Emoções / Sonhar Não Custa Nada, ou Quase Nada” is a song about reconnecting with nature and allowing yourself to dream without judgement. Paulinho Mocidade is reminiscing about spending time at the Xingu River in Brazil, which is full of lush green vegetation and sounds of birds singing in the background. While embracing these qualities of nature, he remembers the feeling of joy and peace it brought him. The track is about him setting out on a new journey but also recognizing that sometimes raw emotion and thought is all you need to progress, but dreaming also comes at no cost. Paulinho reminds us that it’s okay to take a step back and breathe, without the fear of burdening those around us. He lows the listener know that there is power in allowing yourself fantasies. This song is an ode to the beauty and power of nature, and a subtle reminder that sometimes only we can make our dreams come true.
