Água De Beber
De Moraes Vinicius Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mas o amor sabe um segredo o medo pode matar o seu coração
Água de beber, água de beber camará, água de beber, água de beber camará.
Eu nunca fiz coisa tão certa entrei pra escola do perdão
A minha casa vive aberta abri todas as portas do coração
Água de beber, água de beber camará, água de beber, água de beber camará.
Eu sempre tive uma certeza que só me deu desilusão
É que o amor é uma tristeza muita mágoa demais para um coração.
The lyrics to De Moraes Vinicius's song "Agua de Beber" explore the complexities of love and the difficult journey one must embark on to fully open themselves to love. The song starts off with the singer expressing their desire to love but their fear of getting hurt. They wanted to protect their heart but learns that love holds secrets and the fear can destroy them. It is a reminder that love is a risk worth taking and that one must be vulnerable to reap its rewards.
The second verse highlights the singer's personal growth and transformation. They have now entered the "school of forgiveness" and have opened their home and heart to others. This suggests that the singer has learned to forgive and move on from past pain, and is now ready and willing to love again.
The final verse, however, presents a cautionary message about love. The singer has always been sure of one thing: that love brings sadness and disappointment. They have experienced too much pain in the past that their heart cannot bear any more heartache. In spite of this, the singer still mirrors the theme of the song by concluding that "Agua de Beber" (water of drink) was needed, maybe to use as a conduit to wash away the pain, and then leave room for love again.
Overall, "Agua de Beber" invites us to be brave enough to love, to always be open to growth and transformation, and to accept that like water to thirst, love is necessary to sustain us.
