As forças da natureza
João Nogueira Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Quando o sol se derramar em toda sua essência
Desafiando o poder da ciência
Pra combater o mal
E o mar
Com suas águas bravias
Levar consigo o pó dos nossos dias
Vai ser um bom sinal
Os palácios vão desabar
Sob a força de um temporal
Os ventos sufocar um barulho infernal
Os homens vão se revelar
Desta farsa descomunal
Vai voltar tudo ao seu lugar
Afinal
Vai resplandescer
Uma chuva de prata do céu vai descer
O esplendor da mata vai renascer
E o ar de novo vai ser natural
Vai florir,
Cada grande cidade no mato vai cobrir
Das ruínas um novo povo vai surgir
Que vai cantar afinal
As pragas e as ervas daninhas




As armas e os homens do mau
Vão desaparecer nas cinzas de um carnaval

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of João Nogueira's song As Forças da Natureza (The Forces of Nature) deal with the idea that natural elements could potentially undo the destruction caused by human actions. The opening lines describe the sun's full essence, which will challenge science's power to fight against evil. The following lines mention the ocean, which can carry away the dust of human days with its strong waves, and this will be a good sign. The song suggests that the force of nature will cause palaces to crumble, the winds will silence a deafening noise, and people will reveal the truth about their fraudulent behavior. Eventually, everything will return to its rightful place, and a shower of silver will shine from heaven, the splendor of the forest will be reborn, and the air will become natural again.


The song is a testament to the power of nature and its ability to restore balance in the world. The singer believes that everything has gotten out of balance and that the world needs to be re-balanced. The song's theme isn't just about environmental issues as it can be interpreted as a metaphor for the unpredictability and strength of the human spirit; that what it truly takes to triumph over the most insurmountable of obstacles is not brute strength, but the ability to connect with our inner selves and our environment.
