Janta
Marcelo Camelo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Caberá ao nosso amor o eterno ou o não dá
Pode ser cruel a eternidade
Eu ando em frente por sentir vontade
Eu quis te convencer, mas chega de insistir
Caberá ao nosso amor o que há de vir
Pode ser a eternidade má
Caminho em frente por sentir saudade
Paper clips and crayons in my bed
Everybody thinks that I'm sad
I will take my ride in melodies
And bees and birds
Will hear my words
Will be both, us and you and them together
'Cause I can forget about myself
Trying to be everybody else
I feel alright that we can go away
And please my day
I'll let you stay with me if you surrender
I can forget about myself (eu quis te conhecer)
Trying to be everybody else (mas tenho que aceitar)
(Caberá ao nosso amor o que há) I feel alright that we can go away
And please my day (pode ser a eternidade má)
I'll let you stay with me if you surrender (eu ando em frente por sentir vontade)
The lyrics to Marcelo Camelo's song "Janta" speak about the complexities of love and relationships. The singer expresses a desire to get to know someone but acknowledges that whether the love lasts forever or not is up to fate. The idea of eternity is presented as something that can be cruel and daunting, but the singer is still driven forward by their own desires.
The second verse sees the singer trying to convince the person they're interested in of their feelings, but eventually giving up on trying to persuade them. The concept of eternity is once again brought up, this time with a more negative connotation. Despite the uncertainties and challenges, the singer still moves forward, driven by their own emotions and the feeling of nostalgia and longing.
The use of metaphors throughout the lyrics add to the depth of the message. The mention of paper clips and crayons in the singer's bed could represent childhood innocence or a more simplistic time before the complexities of relationships came into play. The image of bees and birds hearing the singer's words could symbolize the idea of the universe being aware of one's actions and emotions.
Overall, "Janta" is a heartfelt and introspective song that examines the complexities of love and the uncertainties associated with it.
