Tocando Em Frente

Victor e Leo's song 'Tocando Em Frente' is a profound reflection on the journey of life, emphasizing the importance of patience, love, and acceptance. The opening lines, 'Ando devagar porque já tive pressa e levo esse sorriso, porque já chorei demais,' suggest a shift in perspective. The narrator has learned to slow down and appreciate life, having experienced both haste and sorrow. This change in pace is a metaphor for maturity and wisdom, recognizing that life is not a race but a journey to be savored.

The lyrics highlight the necessity of experiencing a range of emotions and situations to truly understand life. Phrases like 'Conhecer as manhas e as manhãs, o sabor das massas e das maçãs' illustrate the richness of life's experiences, from the mundane to the extraordinary. The song underscores that love, peace, and even challenges like rain are essential for growth and happiness. This idea is encapsulated in the lines, 'É preciso o amor pra poder pulsar, é preciso paz pra poder sorrir, é preciso a chuva para florir,' which translate to 'Love is needed to pulse, peace is needed to smile, rain is needed to bloom.'

'Tocando Em Frente' also touches on the universal nature of human experiences. The lyrics, 'Todo mundo ama um dia todo mundo chora, um dia a gente chega, no outro vai embora,' remind us that everyone experiences love and sorrow, arrivals and departures. This universality fosters a sense of connection and empathy among people. The song concludes with a powerful message of self-reliance and happiness: 'Cada um de nós compõe a sua história, e cada ser em si, carrega o dom de ser capaz, e ser feliz,' meaning 'Each of us composes our own story, and each being carries the gift of being capable and happy.' This line encourages listeners to embrace their unique paths and find joy in their personal journeys.
