Vendaval
Bri Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Quando eu vim pra esse mundo
Eu não sei bem de onde ou como ou por que
Eu só sei que eu cantava
Eu só sei que eu sorria

Quer dizer, eu chorava
Mas claro que o choro
Era pura alegria de alguém que chegava

Era o meu grande dia

Pouco a pouco fui vendo que as coisas
Não eram do jeito que o pai e a mãe me contavam
De repente brotou no meu peito um sonho
Uma angústia, um desejo de ser vendaval

E fazer desabar como disse o poeta
A felicidade em cima dos homens

Que é pra ver se alguém nesse mundo
Se lembra de maravilhar
Como quem acabou de chegar
E ainda deslumbra com tanto

Mistério e beleza que há
Como quem acabou de chegar

Overall Meaning

In these lyrics, Bri reflects on their journey into the world and their discovery of their true passion and purpose. They begin by expressing their lack of understanding about their origin, questioning where they came from and why. However, they do know that they have always been singing and smiling, even if there were moments of tears. Bri suggests that even their tears were a manifestation of joy and excitement that comes with someone's arrival or their "big day."

As they navigate through life, Bri gradually realizes that things are not as they were portrayed by their parents. They feel a sudden surge of a dream, an anguish, a desire to become a storm (vendaval). This desire stems from a longing to make happiness collapse upon humanity, much like a poet once described. Bri yearns for someone in this world to remember the wonder and astonishment of experiencing life as if they had just arrived, still enthralled by the mysteries and beauty that surround them.

These lyrics capture the journey of self-discovery and the struggle to reconcile one's own dreams and desires with societal expectations. Bri's experience highlights the importance of embracing one's true calling and seeking to bring joy and amazement into the lives of others. It is a reminder to not lose sight of the magic and splendor that exists in the world, and to constantly be in awe of it, regardless of how long we have been here.
