Song Meaning of “Me Deixa Voar” by Frank Aguiar
Me Deixa Voar, the beautiful ballad written and performed by Frank Aguiar, is a heart-wrenching plea for the freedom to soar again. The lyrics tell of a soul that is longing to break free from the bonds of their struggles: “I want to ascend/to fly away/take me away/to the end of the world.” Aguiar’s soulful vocals emphasize this desperation as he pleads for someone—a divine being, a lover, perhaps the listener—to release him and allow him to find peace in flight. He weighs his desire for freedom against his understanding of the impossibility of his dreams: “Me deixa voar, mesmo que não saiba o caminho” (Let me fly, even if I don’t know the way). Despite the sadness of his circumstances he longs for hope and joy, declaring “O vento me vai levar/para lá da escuridão” (The wind will take me far away from the darkness). The song ultimately expresses the universal longing for liberation, and illustrates the deeply cathartic sensation of soaring away from the pain and worry of our lives to discover a journey of hope and beauty.
