Sonho por Sonho

The song 'Sonho por Sonho' by the Brazilian sertanejo duo Leandro & Leonardo delves into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and the longing for a deeper connection. The lyrics express the pain of realizing that the object of one's affection desires nothing more than a fleeting encounter, 'Uma noite só de prazer, uma transa apenas,' which translates to 'Just a night of pleasure, just a fling.' This revelation is a source of heartache for the narrator, who had hoped for something more meaningful.

The chorus of the song, 'Beijo por beijo, sonho por sonho,' which means 'Kiss for kiss, dream for dream,' suggests a yearning for an equal exchange of affection and dreams. The repetition of this line emphasizes the depth of the narrator's desire for a reciprocal relationship, where emotions and aspirations are shared. The song captures the essence of the pain that comes with loving someone who does not share the same depth of feeling.

Despite the hurt, the narrator is unable to let go of the hope that the person they love might eventually reciprocate their feelings. The lines 'Eu não tenho tempo a perder com a solidão / Na hora que você me quiser, eu vou,' translate to 'I have no time to waste with loneliness / Whenever you want me, I'll go,' indicating a readiness to respond to the call of love, even if it might lead to further heartache. The song resonates with anyone who has experienced the bittersweet nature of loving someone without the certainty of being loved back.
