Certeza
Mariana Nolasco
The Clarity of Love in a Chaotic World
The song "Certeza" by Mariana Nolasco is a poetic reflection on the moment of clarity and peace that comes with finding true love amidst the chaos of the world. The lyrics begin with a powerful moment of recognition, where the singer immediately knows that the person they have encountered is the right one for them. This person not only brings peace but also believes in the singer's capabilities, suggesting a relationship that is supportive and affirming.
The song then shifts to a broader perspective, observing how many people are lost, not knowing where they are headed, and how the world's chaos has become so overwhelming that people have become indifferent to it. This contrast between the personal tranquility found in love and the external turmoil of the world highlights the sanctuary that a loving relationship can provide. The repetition of the word 'viver,' which means 'to live' in Portuguese, emphasizes the essence of life and the importance of embracing it fully.
Finally, the song circles back to the theme of certainty in love. The singer acknowledges the small follies and madness that often hold back the heart from discovering and believing in the vastness of life. The realization that love does exist and that it requires one to surrender to it is a call to let go of the trivial things that prevent us from experiencing the fullness of life and love. "Certeza" is a gentle reminder of the power of love to bring clarity and peace in a world that can often seem senseless and chaotic.
