Duas Jornadas

The song 'Duas Jornadas' by 5 a Seco delves into the themes of time, memory, and the enduring bonds of love. The opening lines, 'Voltar no tempo não dá / Ficar no apego perdeu,' set the tone by acknowledging the impossibility of returning to the past and the futility of clinging to it. Instead, the song suggests that when distance becomes a burden, it offers an opportunity for self-discovery, 'Vou saber mais quem sou eu.' This introspective journey is a central theme, as the lyrics reflect on the memories and experiences shared with a significant other, 'Lá nos confins da memória, vejo você / Vozes que a gente ouviu / Cenas que a vida expôs / Coisas que a gente sentiu / Só nos dois.' These lines evoke a sense of nostalgia and the unique, irreplaceable moments that define a relationship.

The chorus, 'Cada um vai na sua estrada / Um por um, vou ao lado seu / Ser irmão, ter o meu coração / Em duas jornadas,' emphasizes the idea of parallel journeys. While each person follows their own path, there is a deep connection that binds them together, akin to siblings sharing a heart. This duality is further explored in the lines, 'More na casa do amor / Viva o que a alma ditar,' which encourage living authentically and following one's soul. The song suggests that through these individual yet interconnected journeys, both parties grow and enrich each other's lives.

The closing lines, 'Nossa voz universo afora / Outra vez o amor venceu / Vá, por nós, espalhar sua luz / Por outras estradas,' bring a sense of resolution and hope. The love shared is not confined to the past but is a guiding light that can be spread to others. The song beautifully captures the essence of enduring love and the way it shapes and illuminates our paths, even as we walk them separately. It’s a poignant reminder that love and memory are powerful forces that continue to influence and inspire us, no matter where life takes us.
