Ira! was formed in 1981, by Nasi, Scandurra, Fábio Scattone (drums) and Adilson Fajardo (bass). But its final formation was only reached in 1985, when Ricardo Gaspa and André Jung (former member of fellow brazilian band Titãs) joined the band.
Their songs were strongly influenced by the Mod sound of The Who, the hard rock of Led Zeppelin and the punk rock of The Clash.
After making it big in the 80s, Ira! faded away in the 90s, regained some popularity in the 00s and eventually split in 2007, making it's comeback only in 2014, with a new formation that stays to this day: Nasi, Edgard Scandurra, Evaristo Pádua, and Johnny Boy
Sem Saber Pra Onde Ir
Ira! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Se não sei pra onde vou
Sem a luz que iluminava o meu caminho
Como posso estar na vida, se não sei pra que estou
Não vou suportar a dor
Não vou suportar a dor
Eu não vou continuar aqui sozinho
Tenho que continuar, a minha estrada prosseguir
Sem saber aonde ir
Sem saber
Sem saber
Sem saber aonde ir
Eu não vou continuar aqui sozinho
Esperando você vir
Tenho que continuar, a minha estrada prosseguir
Sem saber aonde ir
Sem saber
Sem saber
Sem saber aonde ir
Sem saber aonde ir
Sem saber aonde ir
Sem saber aonde ir
Sem saber
The lyrics to Ira!'s song "Sem Saber Pra Onde Ir" explore the themes of uncertainty and the struggles of finding one's purpose in life. The opening lines, "Como posso andar no escuro, Se não sei pra onde vou" (How can I walk in the dark, If I don't know where I'm going) establish a sense of confusion and disorientation. The singer is lost and feels as though they have lost their sense of direction. The repetition of the phrase "Sem saber aonde ir" (Without knowing where to go) reinforces this feeling of being lost and directionless.
The chorus, "Eu não vou continuar aqui sozinho, Esperando você vir, Tenho que continuar, a minha estrada prosseguir, Sem saber aonde ir" (I won't continue here alone, Waiting for you to come, I have to keep going, Without knowing where to go) highlights the singer's determination to keep moving forward, despite feeling unsure of where their path will lead. The line "Não vou suportar a dor" (I won't bear the pain) suggests that the singer is experiencing some form of emotional or psychological pain, which may have contributed to their feelings of disorientation.
Overall, "Sem Saber Pra Onde Ir" is a poignant exploration of the human experience of feeling lost and directionless. The song's lyrics speak to the struggles of finding one's place in the world and the importance of perseverance in the face of uncertainty.
