Seduzir

Djavan's song 'Seduzir' is a poetic exploration of the themes of love, passion, and the transformative power of art. The lyrics open with the act of singing, described as moving a gift from the depths of passion. This suggests that true artistic expression comes from a place of deep emotional intensity. The word 'seduzir' (to seduce) is used metaphorically to describe the power of art to captivate and enchant, not just people but even inanimate objects like stones and cathedrals, as well as the human heart. This metaphor highlights the universal and almost magical influence of art and love.

The song then delves into the nature of love, portraying it as an experience that can make one lose their sense of reality ('perder o tom nas comas da ilusão'). This line suggests that love can be both disorienting and enchanting, leading one into a state of blissful illusion. The act of revealing all meaning ('revelar todo sentido') implies that love and passion can bring profound insights and understanding, making life more meaningful.

In the final lines, Djavan speaks of a desire to explore the world, to walk and fly, driven by the quest to see and experience more. The imagery of drinking the sea to fill the depths of one's being ('nem que eu bebesse o mar encheria o que eu tenho de fundo') conveys an insatiable thirst for life and experience. This line encapsulates the boundless nature of human desire and the endless pursuit of fulfillment through love and art. Djavan's 'Seduzir' is a beautiful ode to the transformative power of passion and the endless quest for meaning and connection in life.
