He was born to Alcino and Sebastiana Lima in Minas Gerais but grew up in Goiânia, Goiás. In 1998 while he was just 9, he joined as soloist in a choir and gained attention through his interpretation of "É o Amor", composed by Zezé di Camargo & Luciano. Gusttavo cited as some of his main inspirations Gino & Geno, Chitãozinho & Xororó, Bruno & Marrone and Zeze di Camargo.
In 2009, Gusttavo released his first independent studio album called Revelação. In 2010, he signed with Som Livre label and released Inventor dos Amores, as a CD and DVD, with sales of 15,000 copies. The title track was a collaboration with Jorge & Mateus, reaching #24 in the Brazilian Billboard Brasil charts. Based on this initial success, he released the single "Cor de Ouro" that reached #21 in Brazil.
In 2011, Gusttavo released CD and DVD titled Gusttavo Lima e Você which was recorded live in Patos de Minas, on June 3, 2011 during Fenamilho musical event with estimated audience of 60,000 people. The highly popular album reached #7 and was certified platinum. The album produced his definitive hit "Balada" (full title "Balada (Tchê Tcherere Tchê Tchê) based on the famous refrain), which reached #3 in Brazil. The Brazilian football player Neymar played a similar role to that he played in Michel Teló's smash success "Ai se eu te pego" and appeared in many shows with Gusttavo Lima.
In January 2012, he embarked on a first international tour with shows in US Latin markets in Florida, and later on in Atlanta (Georgia), Newark (New Jersey) and Revere (Massachusetts). It was also announced that Gusttavo Lima is releasing another live album in 2012 entitled Atualmente with reported participation of Edson & Hudson, Jorge & Mateus and Eduardo Costa. Release is due in Spring/Summer this year.
Gusttavo is also releasing his hit single "Balada" in European markets following the steps of fellow Brazilian singer Michel Teló.

Gusttavo Lima Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Apenas diferente
Olha quem chegou
Já 'tá com alguém
Ontem terminou
Chorou, falou que não 'tava bem
Sei, sua intenção é me fazer sofrer
Pisar no nego, botar pra moer
Mas deixa eu te falar
Bota a mão pra cima, São Paulo, geral, vai vai
Ô saudade que eu 'tava da minha vida
Ai
Da vida de cachorrada
Da vida de putaria
Saudade que eu 'tava da minha vida
Da vida de cachorrada
Da vida de putaria
Por falar em putaria
'To aqui fazendo uma
Na minha mesa tem a loira, a morena e a ruiva
Hoje não sou eu que escolho
Elas que estão me escolhendo
Pela cara da minha ex
A deprê já 'tá batendo
Ô saudade que eu 'tava da minha vida

The lyrics of Gusttavo Lima's song "Saudade da Minha Vida" convey a sense of longing and nostalgia for a past life characterized by freedom and promiscuity. The song begins by introducing the singer, referred to as the "embaixador," and emphasizing that he is different from before. This suggests a change in his behavior or lifestyle.
The first verse describes someone who recently ended a relationship and is already with another person. The singer acknowledges that the intention behind this action is to make him suffer and to assert dominance over him. However, he dismisses this attempt by asserting his own power and confidence, urging the crowd to raise their hands in unity, specifically mentioning the city of São Paulo.
The chorus expresses the longing the singer feels for his previous life full of wild and promiscuous behavior. He misses living the life of a "dog" or having a wild time, engaging in promiscuity and sexual adventures. This represents a yearning for a carefree and liberated existence, free from commitment and emotional attachment.
The second verse reveals the singer's current lifestyle, which revolves around promiscuous encounters. He describes himself as being surrounded by women, blondes, brunettes, and redheads, highlighting his attractiveness and the attention he receives. However, he notes that it is not him who chooses, but rather the women who choose him. He also comments on the effect his ex-partner's facial expression has on him, suggesting that seeing her sad or upset triggers his own feelings of depression.
The chorus is repeated, emphasizing once again the nostalgia for his previous wild and promiscuous life. The singer longs for that particular lifestyle, and the repetition further reinforces this desire.
In the bridge, the singer addresses the audience, encouraging them to join him by saying "tira, tira" (meaning "take it off"). This line further emphasizes the carefree and lively atmosphere that surrounds him, creating a sense of unity and shared experience among the crowd.
The final repetition of the chorus serves to reinforce the central theme of the song. The singer acknowledges that it is another hit song added to his repertoire, expressing gratitude and dismissing any negativity or criticism.
Overall, "Saudade da Minha Vida" portrays a longing for a past life characterized by promiscuity and a carefree attitude. The lyrics depict the singer's current lifestyle, where he is surrounded by women and enjoys the attention he receives. The chorus and repetition throughout the song emphasize the yearning for this previous lifestyle and the subsequent feelings of nostalgia.
