SONG MEANING

Se Ao Menos Houvesse Um Dia paints a series of impossible yet beautiful scenes — a silver moon riding a gazelle’s wings, verses that blossom like flowers on cherry branches, the ocean carrying forgotten words. With each image, the singer pleads “if only there were a day” when these fantasies could guide him to the person he longs for. The song is soaked in saudade, that uniquely Portuguese blend of hope, nostalgia, and sweet ache; every metaphor is a bridge he builds toward the beloved, even as he fears it may never reach the other shore.

Rooted in the tradition of Fado, the melody becomes a boat without a mooring, drifting through yearning guitar lines while the voice seeks shelter in the listener’s heart. Camané reminds us that love can feel timeless and unsatisfied, yet its very impossibility fuels poetry. The result is a dreamy, emotion-rich journey where desire, music, and imagination weave together, inviting you to float between what is real and what is wished for.
