Volta Por Cima

Beth Carvalho's song 'Volta Por Cima' is a powerful anthem of resilience and personal redemption. The lyrics begin with the singer openly admitting to having cried and not hiding her tears. This vulnerability is significant, as it sets the stage for the song's central theme: the journey from despair to triumph. The line 'Todos viram, fingiram, pena de mim não precisava' suggests that while others may have seen her in a moment of weakness, their pity was unnecessary. This indicates a strong sense of self-awareness and pride, even in moments of vulnerability.

The song then transitions to a more empowering message. The phrase 'Dar a volta por cima que eu dei, quero ver quem dava' highlights the singer's determination and strength. She challenges others to see if they could have overcome the same obstacles. This line serves as a testament to her resilience and ability to rise above difficult circumstances. The use of the phrase 'dar a volta por cima' (to turn things around) is a powerful metaphor for overcoming adversity and reclaiming one's strength and dignity.

In the final verses, the song emphasizes the importance of self-reliance and inner strength. The lines 'Um homem de moral não fica no chão, nem quer que mulher lhe venha dar a mão' suggest that a person of integrity does not stay down and does not rely on others to lift them up. Instead, they 'reconhece a queda e não desanima' (acknowledge the fall and do not get discouraged). The concluding lines, 'Levanta, sacode a poeira, dá a volta por cima,' encapsulate the song's core message: to rise, shake off the dust, and turn things around. This powerful message of resilience and self-empowerment resonates deeply, making 'Volta Por Cima' an enduring anthem of strength and redemption.
