Las Vegas
Delunes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nada do que fiz foi em vão
Apenas arrisquei viver
Pelos meus sonhos e ideais
Na vida existe coisas
Além de vencer e perder
A cada passo devemos
Em cada chance eu sorri
Certo de que
Mais uma vez vou jogar
Os dados sem me importar
Perder não vai me fazer parar
Apenas quero me arriscar
Já não tenho o que perder
Nem nada pra ganhar
Minha familia e meu cachorro
Ficaram para trás
Troquei a minha vida
Por algumas fichas
Talvez agora seja tarde demais
Mas decidi viver
Sem me importar
Perder não vai me fazer parar
Apenas quero me arriscar
Já não tenho o que perder
Nem nada pra ganhar
Se me arrepender
Vou ter a certeza de que
Nada que fiz foi em vão
Pois tudo que quis foi
Viver pelos meus sonhos e ideais

The repetition of "jogar os dados" (playing the dice) suggests a metaphorical reference to the unpredictable nature of life.
The following paragraph introduces a shift in perspective.
