Se Todos Fossem Iguais a Você
Antonio Carlos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Go on your way with the cloudless blue sky above
May all your days be a wonderful song of love
Open your arms and sing of all the hidden hopes you'll ever treasure
And live out your life in peace
Someone to light up my life
Someone with strange little ways
Eyes like a blue autumn haze
Someone with your laughing style
And a smile that I know will keep haunting me endlessly
Sometimes in stars or the swift flight of seabirds
I catch a moment of you
That's why I walk all alone
Searching for something unknown
Searching for something or someone to light up my life
The song "Se Todos Fossem Iguais A Voce" by Antonio Carlos Jobim, Gene Lees, and Vinicius Demoraes is a song about letting go of a loved one and finding the strength to move on. The first verse talks about wishing the best for the person and hoping that they will find love and live a peaceful life. The second verse is sung from the perspective of the person left behind, who is struggling to find a way to move on. They are searching for someone to replace the love they once had with a person who has similar qualities as the one they lost. The lyrics express a longing and a sense of hopelessness that comes with losing someone dear.
The song's melody is simple and gentle, with a bossa nova rhythm and a haunting melody carried by the strings. The use of the word "light" throughout the song serves as a metaphor for the hope the singer is seeking. The lyrics are poetic, with beautiful imagery of stars and seabirds. The song captures the melancholic beauty of love and loss and speaks to the universal theme of human nature.
