The youngest of the five children of José Fares, Lebanese immigrant to Brazil, and Dona Francisca, Fagner was born in Fortaleza, the capital of the state of Ceará, although his birth was recorded in Orós.
At the age of five years he won a youth competition at a local radio station. As a teen, he formed vocal and instrumental groups and began to compose his own music. In 1968 he won the Festival de Música Popular do Ceará (Popular Music Festival of Ceará) with his song "Nada Sou" (I am Nothing).
In 1971 he moved to the capital Brasília, taking first place in the Festival de Música Popular do Centro de Estudos Universitários de Brasília (Popular Music Festival of the University Studies Center of Brasília) with his piece "Mucuripe" (with collaborator Belchior), which was later recorded by artist Elis Regina, and became Fagner's first notable success as a composer. He won prizes in other categories with additional pieces, as well.
He has had a distinguished career as a performer, singer, songwriter and composer for over 3 decades, and is also known for his collaborations with other MPB artists such as Caetano Veloso, Roberta Miranda, Chico Buarque and others.
Se o Amor Vier

Você sabe que horas são
Você não sabe de nada não
Aprendi a recompor
A me desatar o nó
Hoje estou bem
Hoje estou bem melhor
Você sabe onde eu nasci
Você sabe onde eu me perco
Você não sabe da missa o terço
Consegui não me afogar
Enganei até a morte
Hoje estou bem
Hoje estou bem mais forte
Divido em vida o meu tesouro
Ainda acho pouco
Seja o que Deus quiser
E calejado eu viro o jogo
E ponho a mão no fogo
Se o amor vier
Aprendi a recompor
A me desatar o nó
Hoje estou bem
Hoje estou bem melhor
Você sabe onde eu nasci
Você sabe onde eu me perco
Você não sabe da missa o terço
Consegui não me afogar
Enganei até a morte
Hoje estou bem
Hoje estou bem mais forte
Divido em vida o meu tesouro
Ainda acho pouco
Seja o que Deus quiser
E calejado eu viro o jogo
E ponho a mão no fogo
Se o amor vier!
Divido em vida o meu tesouro
Ainda acho pouco
Seja o que Deus quiser
E calejado eu viro o jogo
E ponho a mão no fogo
Se o amor vier
Aprendi a recompor
A me desatar o nó
Hoje estou bem
Hoje estou bem melhor
Consegui não me afogar
Enganei até a morte
Hoje estou bem
Hoje estou bem mais forte
In Fagner's song Se o Amor Vier, the lyrics talk about the journey of someone who has gone through difficult times and has learned to recompose themselves and become stronger. The verses start by addressing someone who thinks they know the singer's story by asking if they know where they came from and what time it is, but then they claim that the person doesn't really know anything. The singer then talks about how they learned to untie the knot and not drown, becoming better and stronger as a result. The chorus repeats the idea that the singer has learned to adapt and overcome any obstacles in their path, and they are willing to put everything on the line for love if it comes their way.
The song's message is one of perseverance and resilience, reminding listeners that even in the face of adversity, there is always a way to become stronger and overcome obstacles. The use of metaphors such as untying knots and not drowning add a sense of visual imagery to the lyrics, giving the listener a better sense of the singer's journey. The repetition of the phrase "hoje estou bem" (today I'm doing well) is also important, as it emphasizes the idea that the journey towards becoming stronger is an ongoing process that requires constant effort.
