Quem dera — If only / I wish
Quem dera is an idiomatic expression in Portuguese that translates to "If only" or "I wish." It expresses a strong desire or a longing for something that is not currently true or is unlikely to happen.
In "Coisa Mais Linda," Caetano Veloso uses this phrase to express a deep wish that the beauty of a flower's spring (primavera da flor) could possess the same enchanting aroma and beauty as the woman he is singing about. It adds a touch of poetic yearning to the lyrics, making the compliment even more profound.
