The Quest for Passionate Serenity in Cazuza's 'Todo o Amor Que Houver Nessa Vida'

Cazuza's song 'Todo o Amor Que Houver Nessa Vida' is a poetic exploration of the desire for a love that is both peaceful and intensely passionate. The Brazilian artist, known for his expressive lyrics and his role in the rock band Barão Vermelho, often delved into themes of love, life, and social issues in his music. This song is no exception, as it captures the longing for a relationship that is as satisfying and essential as food for the soul.

The lyrics speak of wanting a 'tranquil love with the taste of bitten fruit,' which suggests a yearning for an experience that is both calm and filled with the zest of life. The imagery of being in sync with a partner, 'in the beat, in the swing of the hammock,' and quenching one's thirst with their saliva, conveys a deep connection that satisfies both physical and emotional needs. Cazuza uses the metaphor of being the other person's bread and sustenance to express a desire to be everything for his lover, encompassing all the love that exists in life, along with a little extra to ensure security.

The song also touches on the idea of transforming the mundane into something beautiful, 'turning tedium into melody.' This reflects a wish to elevate everyday life into art, finding poetry in the routine, and injecting excitement into the ordinary ('some anti-monotony venom'). The mention of finding the hidden source within a lover and becoming overwhelmed by them like a hurricane illustrates the intensity and depth of the connection he seeks. Ultimately, the song is a plea for a love that brings joy and breaks the monotony of life, a love that is as necessary as a remedy for happiness.
