Da Luta

O Teatro Mágico's song 'Da Luta' is a poetic exploration of nostalgia, heroism, and the human condition. The repeated line 'Quem dera a era fosse aquela em que éramos heróis!' ('If only the era were the one in which we were heroes!') sets the tone for the entire piece, evoking a longing for a time when people were seen as heroes, perhaps more noble and courageous than they are perceived today. This repetition underscores a deep yearning for a return to a more virtuous and heroic past.

The lyrics delve into the idea of empathy and interconnectedness, suggesting that if everyone took care of another's heart, the world would be a better place. The line 'Se em cada outro peito houvesse providência além de gratidão?' ('If in every other chest there was providence beyond gratitude?') challenges listeners to think beyond mere thankfulness and to act with providence and care. The song also touches on the concept of peace and the fear of its delay, hinting at the complexities of achieving true harmony in a world filled with diverse ideas and beliefs.

The song's narrative also speaks to resilience and hope. The imagery of a new day being born from the struggles ('Que rasgue o ventre e nasça o dia!') symbolizes the potential for renewal and transformation. The lyrics encourage reflection on what brings joy and where life becomes a habit, emphasizing that where there is love, there is also sacrifice. The closing affirmation 'Somos heróis!' ('We are heroes!') serves as a powerful reminder of the inherent heroism within each individual, urging listeners to recognize and embrace their own potential for greatness.
