E Tudo Mais

Nando Reis' song 'E Tudo Mais' delves into the profound themes of love, existence, and the human condition. The lyrics juxtapose the simplicity and complexity of life, comparing humans to animals while acknowledging the unique qualities that make us different. The repetition of phrases like 'Muitos comuns, poucos raros' (Many common, few rare) and 'Normais, alguns mortais' (Normal, some mortal) highlights the diversity and individuality within humanity. This sets the stage for the central theme of the song: the discovery of love and its transformative power.

The chorus, 'Meu amor, o meu amor, E tudo mais' (My love, my love, And everything else), emphasizes the all-encompassing nature of love. The singer reflects on how love was found within himself, suggesting that true love is an intrinsic part of one's being. This introspective journey is further explored in the lines 'Eu quero viver, Eu quero te ver, Eu não quero sofrer, Eu não quero morrer' (I want to live, I want to see you, I don't want to suffer, I don't want to die), expressing a deep yearning for life and connection, while also fearing loss and suffering.

The song also touches on the concept of fate and serendipity. The verse 'Que sorte a nossa, Nesse mundo há tanta gente, E a vida me pôs ao seu lado' (How lucky we are, In this world with so many people, And life put me by your side) reflects on the fortunate circumstances that brought the lovers together. This sense of gratitude and wonder is a recurring theme, as the singer contemplates whether their luck is unique or shared by all who find love. The repeated declarations of hope and longing, 'Eu espero você, Como eu espero você' (I wait for you, As I wait for you), underscore the enduring nature of love and the desire for reunion.

'E Tudo Mais' is a poignant exploration of love's impact on our lives, the existential questions it raises, and the universal human experiences of hope, longing, and gratitude. Nando Reis' heartfelt lyrics and emotive delivery make this song a touching ode to the power of love and the beauty of human connection.
