Sara Tavares - Ponto de Luz

Szavanna April 25th, 2009

If sunshine had a voice it’d sound like Sara. I read this long time ago and I think of this whenever I hear her sing.

Ponto de Luz

Escutando no vento
Tua voz secreta
Que me sopra por dentro
Deixe-me ser só ser

No teu colo eu me entrego
Para que me nutras
E me envolvas
Deixa-me ser só ser

Um ponto de luz
Que me seduz
Aceso na alma

Um ponto de luz
Que me conduz
Aceso na alma

Por trás dessa nuvem
Ardendo no céu
O fogo do sol rai
Eternamente quente
Liberta-me a mente
Liberta-me a mente

Um ponto de luz
Que me seduz
Aceso na alma

Um ponto de luz
Que me seduz
Aceso na alma

( many thanks to Satori for the lyrics :)

    Thank you a lot for these lyrics - I have to listen this song each and every day on YouTube, but I did not know the lyrics. I speak French and a little bit Spanish, so I do understand a lot of this. Thanks a lot once more…

    Alguém tem os acordes para tocar na guitarra/violão?

    Does anyone knows the chords to play on guitar?

    Esta é apenas uma das belíssimas canções da Sara Tavares, tive o privilégio de poder ouvir e ver a Sara na casa das artes de Famalicão e confesso que fiquei de queixos caídos ( e até nem era fã dela)… Se os anjos existem a Sara deve ser um deles.

    Foi algo para recordar!

    So, thank you for the lyrics!

    Hi Szavanna,

    I have this page on my favourits a long time ago… like sara tavares very much, particulary this song.

    But now I looked about you and I notice that you are from hungary. Don´t know if you know portuguese language and understand the lirics, but anyway music is a very special language… when is beautiful you don’t need to speak the language to understand it.
    Kisses from Portugal.

    Hi Ligia - thanks for popping in :) Yes as you see from my blog - a lot of the songs I listen to - is not in a language I understand - or sometimes I understand but not all - but still enjoy each word - I do try to understand the words at least - when I can get the translation. This song is unbelievable - a very special Tavares song. African greetings to you!

    Well, I’m well too far of being an English language expert, but for those non-Portuguese speakers/readers which are wondering about the lyrics meaning, here’s a very “raw” translation.

    Listening in the wind
    Your secret voice
    That blows me inside (whispering inside me)
    Let me be, only to be

    In your lap I surrender
    For you to nourish me
    And surround me
    Let me be, only To be

    A point of light
    That seduces me
    Lit in the soul

    A point of light
    Which leads me
    Lit in the soul

    Behind that cloud
    Burning in the sky
    The fire of the sun rays
    Forever warm
    It frees my mind
    It frees my mind

    A point of light
    That seduces me
    Lit in the soul

    A point of light
    That seduces me
    Lit in the soul
    ….

    Cheers

    Carlos

    Hi Carlos - what a surprise - thank you so much for the translation - really appreciate it. This song has been a favourite for so many people - I am not surprised at all that long after I posted it - I still get comments for this song - Sara is truly a special artist.
