Deixa o Sol Sair

Djavan's song 'Deixa o Sol Sair' is a poetic exploration of love's uncertainties and the desire to overcome barriers. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who spends their days gazing at the clouds, contemplating the future of their relationship. The clouds serve as a metaphor for the ever-changing and unpredictable nature of love. The protagonist is a 'passenger of all clouds,' navigating through life with their partner as a guide. This imagery suggests a journey filled with both hope and uncertainty, where the ultimate destination is unknown but eagerly anticipated.

The song delves into the internal struggle between fear and love. The lines 'Nosso olhar quer falar / Mas, o medo é demais pra agir' (Our eyes want to speak / But the fear is too much to act) highlight the hesitation and fear that often accompany deep emotional connections. Djavan suggests that love should be allowed to take its course, as expressed in 'Deixa o amor resolver por nós / Deixa o sol sair' (Let love resolve for us / Let the sun come out). This plea to let love guide them underscores the belief that love has the power to overcome obstacles and bring clarity, much like the sun breaking through the clouds.

The song also touches on the transformative power of love. The protagonist acknowledges that everything is clear to them and that their love is profound, 'fundo como o mar' (deep as the sea). This depth of feeling is likened to a lantern in the dark, illuminating their path and giving meaning to their existence. The lyrics convey a sense of completeness and purpose that comes from being with their loved one, emphasizing that without them, there is no place or direction. The song concludes with a declaration of devotion, 'Eu só sei o que sou / Se viver pra te amar' (I only know who I am / If I live to love you), encapsulating the essence of love as a defining and guiding force in their life.
