Purple

Tomorrow
Another day
Moon comes
Wind embraces…
a passing cloud in the air
kisses it
plays with it
and lets it pass
And in the air
of one other day
My look
emerged from the tips…
Of lost stars in the sea
Just to make it flood with emotions
To make it thunder ...
The ray freed itself
lighthened
Even more
fell enchanted
by the purple colour
Silver colour in the light of love
Blue sky
 
I want to see...
the sunset
Beautiful as only it can be...
and I want people to see
and to travel
in a sea
of rays

Raio = (stroke of) lightning

The lyrics paint a picture with words. The sun has set, but the sky is still a deep blue, not quite the black of night yet. The moon and stars are now visible, and are reflected in the ocean. A strong gusty wind is blowing the clouds around, as if "playing" with them. Suddenly a lightning strike turns the sky a silvery purple (cor lilás = color of the lilac flower). The observer is very excited about this sight, and wishes for everyone to be able to see it.
