Um Nome a Zelar

Seu Pereira e Coletivo 401's song 'Um Nome a Zelar' delves into the profound themes of love, legacy, and the human desire to be remembered. The lyrics emphasize the importance of loving freely and genuinely, without the constraints of societal expectations or personal ego. The repeated line 'Eu tenho um nome a zelar' (I have a name to uphold) suggests a deep sense of responsibility and pride in one's identity and actions. This responsibility is not just about maintaining a reputation but also about spreading love and making meaningful connections with others.

The song reflects on past experiences of loneliness and the detrimental effects of selfishness in relationships. The lines 'Solidão quase nos matou / No tempo que éramos nós dois' (Loneliness almost killed us / When it was just the two of us) highlight the pain of isolation and the missed opportunities for love due to egoistic behavior. The artist questions the purpose of hoarding love when there is so much suffering in the world, advocating for the sharing of love as a remedy for global pain.

Furthermore, the song celebrates the myriad ways love can be expressed and experienced. With phrases like 'Mil bocas pra me entregar / Mil jeitos de me sentir' (A thousand mouths to surrender to / A thousand ways to feel), the lyrics paint a vivid picture of the diverse and abundant nature of love. The desire to be remembered after death underscores the human quest for immortality through the legacy of love and kindness. 'Um Nome a Zelar' is a poignant reminder of the power of love to transcend time and leave a lasting impact on the world.
