Muito Obrigado

Djavan's song 'Muito Obrigado' is a heartfelt expression of gratitude and a philosophical reflection on life, love, and existence. The lyrics open with a thank you for everything, even for seemingly nothing, highlighting the paradoxical nature of life where even the smallest gestures can have profound impacts. The line 'Por nada se mata e morre de amor' (For nothing, one kills and dies of love) underscores the intensity and irrationality of emotions, particularly love, which can drive people to extreme actions. This sets the tone for a song that delves deep into the complexities of human experience.

The second stanza introduces a metaphor of a flower growing from nothing, symbolizing the potential for beauty and magic to emerge from the void. This imagery suggests that even from the most desolate or painful circumstances ('entrana ferida' or 'wounded entrails'), something beautiful and powerful can arise. Djavan uses this metaphor to convey a message of hope and resilience, emphasizing that life’s challenges can lead to growth and transformation. The flower, with its vibrant colors and magic, represents the potential within everyone to overcome adversity and flourish.

The chorus reinforces the idea that living well is a matter of knowing how to live, love, and recognize the value in every experience. Djavan suggests that understanding and embracing life’s complexities is essential for personal growth. The repeated 'Muito obrigado' (Thank you very much) serves as a mantra of gratitude, acknowledging the lessons learned and the experiences that shape us. This song is a beautiful reminder that gratitude and a positive outlook can transform our perception of life, making space for anyone who wishes to truly live.
