Já Que Tem Que

Itamar Assumpção's song 'Já Que Tem Que' is a vibrant exploration of life's inevitable dance. The lyrics suggest that since we must navigate through life, we might as well do it with grace and enthusiasm. The opening lines, 'Sabe já que tem que saber dançar / Se você sabe por que não se adianta,' emphasize the importance of embracing life's challenges and opportunities with a proactive attitude. Assumpção's message is clear: if you know you have to dance, why not get ahead and enjoy it?

The song also delves into the idea of choice and control. The repeated phrase 'Agora é você que aponta' (Now it's you who points) signifies a shift in responsibility and agency. Whether it's a waltz, salsa, mantra, samba, or even trash, the choice of how to dance through life is in the listener's hands. This metaphor extends to various aspects of life, suggesting that we have the power to shape our experiences and responses to different situations. The line 'Eu não preciso de muito dinheiro graças à Deus' (I don't need much money, thank God) further underscores a theme of contentment and finding joy in simplicity.

Assumpção's lyrics also touch on the performative aspects of life. The final stanza, 'Agora é você quem monta / Esta peça esta farsa esta dança,' highlights the idea that life is a stage, and we are the directors of our own performances. Whether it's a march, a graceful act, or a gentle dance, the way we present ourselves and our actions is up to us. This perspective encourages self-expression and authenticity, urging listeners to take control of their narratives and live life on their own terms.
