Amor À Vida

Nando Reis' song "Amor À Vida" is a poetic exploration of life's journey and the profound role that love plays within it. The lyrics are filled with questions and reflections, inviting listeners to ponder the origins and destinations of their paths. The repeated inquiries, such as "De onde onde é que vem e para onde é que vai" (Where does it come from and where does it go), suggest a deep curiosity about the mysteries of existence and the forces that attract us to one another.

The song also emphasizes the importance of guidance and companionship. Lines like "Quem me traz, quem me leva aonde eu quero ir" (Who brings me, who takes me where I want to go) highlight the need for someone to show the way, to be a guiding star. This metaphor of a star represents hope, direction, and the pursuit of dreams. The invitation to follow this star is a call to embrace the journey of life with courage and openness.

Central to the song is the theme of love as a transformative force. The chorus, "E a vida me convidou, vem que eu te dou quem eu sou, vem sem temor, pra onde eu for, vem dar a vida ao amor" (And life invited me, come, I give you who I am, come without fear, wherever I go, come give life to love), is a powerful declaration of love's ability to give meaning and purpose to life. The repetition of "vem dar a vida ao amor" (come give life to love) reinforces the idea that love is not just an emotion but an active, life-giving force that should be nurtured and shared.

The song also touches on the importance of authenticity and vulnerability. The lines "O que eu faço, o que eu farei ou fiz, sem disfarce é bem mais fácil ser feliz" (What I do, what I will do or did, without disguise it's much easier to be happy) suggest that true happiness comes from being genuine and open. This message encourages listeners to embrace their true selves and to let love flourish without fear or pretense.
