Amor de Sabiá

In 'Amor de Sabiá,' Vidal Assis crafts a poetic narrative that explores the themes of love, freedom, and self-discovery. The song's lyrics are rich with metaphors, particularly those involving birds, which symbolize the free-spirited nature of the beloved. The 'sabiá,' a type of thrush known for its beautiful song, represents a love that is pure, natural, and unbound by societal expectations. The beloved gives love freely, like the song of a sabiá, and chooses to remain unattached, flying away to experience the world and its wonders.

The lyrics describe a journey of self-realization and the pursuit of true freedom. The beloved initially leaves to explore the universe, symbolized by the kiss of a hummingbird, another bird known for its beauty and freedom. This act of exploration and the subsequent return to 'aninhar' (nest) signifies a cycle of seeking and finding oneself. The beloved's return is not out of obligation but a recognition of their true nature and desires. They dream of a love that is free from the constraints of traditional commitments like marriage, preferring to love freely and genuinely.

Vidal Assis uses the imagery of birds and flight to convey a sense of liberation and the beauty of living authentically. The song suggests that in every flock of birds, there is a story, a dream, and a song, much like in every human heart. 'Amor de Sabiá' celebrates the idea that love, like the song of a bird, is most beautiful when it is free and unrestrained. This perspective challenges conventional notions of love and relationships, advocating for a more liberated and self-aware approach to loving and living.
