Acordo

In the song "Acordo" by Stênio Március, the artist explores the theme of contentment and the quest for inner peace through a series of poignant metaphors. The lyrics begin with a conversation with a swallow, a bird known for its extensive migrations. The singer asks if, despite flying over vast continents and cities, the bird ever felt constrained or if the infinite sky was enough for it to feel free and happy. This metaphor highlights the human desire for freedom and the question of whether external vastness can truly satisfy our inner needs.

The song then shifts to a dialogue with a goldfish, the 'lord of the vast ocean.' The fish, which navigates the endless waters, is asked if the seven seas provide enough space for it to swim freely and live happily. This imagery of the ocean, with its boundless depths and mysteries, serves as a parallel to the human experience of navigating life's complexities and seeking fulfillment in an ever-expanding world.

Finally, the artist turns inward, addressing his own soul. He questions why his soul robs him of peace and brings sadness to his eyes. In a moment of introspection, he proposes an agreement to live a tranquil life, reminding himself of the words of the Master: "My grace is sufficient for you." This reference to divine grace suggests that true contentment and peace come not from external circumstances but from an inner acceptance and reliance on spiritual guidance. The song beautifully encapsulates the struggle for inner peace and the realization that fulfillment often lies within, rather than in the vastness of the world around us.
