Himalaia
Jorge Vercillo Lyrics

The opening lines of the song "Himalaia" by Brazilian singer-songwriter Jorge Vercillo convey the idea that the entire world is contained within ourselves, from the Bosnian city of Saravejo to China's ancient temples. The message is to not be afraid to love and be happy, as it is the divine secret to learning more about ourselves. The singer expresses a desire to explore every corner of his heart, to wander the streets within and even the shadier alleys, as they all comprise who he is. He is ready to embrace his sorrows and unleash them like a waterfall that feeds into the sea of his past experiences.

The chorus proclaims the idea of finding beauty in the lightness of being, much like the freedom of soaring through the majestic Himalayas, as if they are spreading across the entire world. "Alquimia" or alchemy, involves finding the extraordinary and turning it into the ordinary, and in this case, retaining the essence of mountains, which are often viewed as immovable or permanent, in the way we look at life. The succeeding verses continue the theme of the entirety of the world being within the singer, having changed him from South Africa to Germany, having gone through a cascade of experiences both bitter and sweet, creating a river that conquers all.
