Minha Vida É o Rock' N' Roll
Made In Brazil
The Unyielding Spirit of Rock 'N' Roll
The song 'Minha Vida É o Rock' N' Roll' by Made In Brazil is a passionate declaration of devotion to the rock 'n' roll lifestyle. The lyrics convey a sense of rebellion and a refusal to conform to societal expectations, particularly those related to relationships and domestic life. The protagonist rejects the idea of marriage and traditional commitments, emphasizing that their true love and dedication lie with rock 'n' roll music. This sentiment is encapsulated in the repeated lines, 'Eu só penso em Rock'N'Roll / Eu só transo Rock'N'Roll / Eu só respiro Rock'N'Roll,' which translate to 'I only think about Rock'N'Roll / I only make love to Rock'N'Roll / I only breathe Rock'N'Roll.'
The song also touches on themes of freedom and individuality. The protagonist describes themselves as 'livre como um passarinho' (free as a bird) and expresses a desire to live life on their own terms, without being tied down by the expectations of others. This is further highlighted by the lines, 'Eu só gosto de voar sozinho / E a minha vida é o Rock'N'Roll,' meaning 'I only like to fly alone / And my life is Rock'N'Roll.' The imagery of flying alone underscores the protagonist's need for independence and their commitment to a lifestyle that allows them to pursue their passion for music without constraints.
Culturally, the song reflects the spirit of the rock 'n' roll movement, which has always been associated with rebellion, freedom, and a break from conventional norms. Made In Brazil, as a band, embodies this ethos, and their music often explores themes of nonconformity and the pursuit of personal freedom. 'Minha Vida É o Rock' N' Roll' is a testament to the enduring appeal of rock 'n' roll as a symbol of individuality and resistance against societal pressures.
