Pois É

Los Hermanos' song 'Pois É' delves into the themes of acceptance, fate, and the unpredictability of life. The lyrics, written in Portuguese, reflect a philosophical approach to life's uncertainties. The phrase 'Pois é, não deu' translates to 'Well, it didn't work out,' setting a tone of resignation and acceptance. The song suggests that some things are beyond human control, as indicated by 'Pois é de Deus, tudo aquilo que não se pode ver' ('Well, it's from God, everything that cannot be seen'). This line implies a sense of faith and trust in the unseen forces that shape our lives.

The song also touches on the idea of living in the present and not worrying too much about the future. 'Deixa o amanhã e a gente sorrir' ('Leave tomorrow and let's smile') encourages a focus on the present moment, suggesting that worrying about the future is futile. The heart, which 'teima em bater' ('insists on beating'), symbolizes the persistence of life and the importance of embracing it fully. The lyrics advise the listener to 'avisar que é de se entregar o viver' ('inform that life is to be surrendered to'), emphasizing the importance of surrendering to life's flow.

The final lines, 'Clareia a minha vida, amor, no olhar' ('Brighten my life, love, in your gaze'), introduce a personal and intimate element. Love is portrayed as a guiding light that brings clarity and purpose to life. This adds a layer of emotional depth to the song, suggesting that while life is unpredictable, love can provide a sense of direction and meaning. Los Hermanos, known for their poetic and introspective lyrics, use 'Pois É' to explore these profound themes, encouraging listeners to find peace in acceptance and the present moment.
