The Quest for Tranquil Love in 'Todo Amor Que Houver Nessa Vida'
Barão Vermelho's song 'Todo Amor Que Houver Nessa Vida' is a poetic exploration of the desire for a deep, tranquil love. The lyrics express a longing for a relationship that is both peaceful and passionate, likened to the taste of a bitten fruit. This metaphor suggests a love that is sweet yet intense, fulfilling yet exciting. The imagery of 'killing thirst with saliva' further emphasizes the intimate and essential nature of this connection, where even the simplest acts of affection are deeply satisfying.
The song also delves into the idea of being everything for the beloved—'ser teu pão, ser tua comida' (to be your bread, to be your food)—highlighting a desire to be a fundamental part of the other person's life. The repeated line 'todo amor que houver nessa vida' (all the love that exists in this life) underscores the depth and totality of this love. Additionally, the mention of 'algum trocado pra dar garantia' (some change to give assurance) and 'algum veneno anti-monotonia' (some anti-monotony poison) suggests a practical approach to love, acknowledging the need for stability and excitement to keep the relationship alive.
The song also touches on the transformative power of love and art. The lines 'ser artista no nosso convívio' (to be an artist in our coexistence) and 'transformar o tédio em melodia' (to transform boredom into melody) reflect the idea that love can turn everyday life into something beautiful and poetic. The mention of 'inferno e céu de todo dia' (hell and heaven of every day) indicates that love encompasses both the highs and lows of daily life, making it a comprehensive and all-encompassing experience. The final verses, which speak of finding the beloved's 'hidden source' and experiencing a whirlwind of emotions, further illustrate the intensity and complexity of this desired love.
