faça seu jogo
Lô Borges Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Como quem não quer fazer nada
Ouça bem as vozes no mato
Como quem abriu seu coração
Eu sonhei outro mundo, meu amor
E a paz morava na nossa casa
Mil pessoas como nós
Sem palavras, por viver
Sonhei que era tempo de reencontrar amigos
Falar de um velho tempo morto que passou depressa
Sonhei que amanhã é hora de você jogar
Jogue sua vida na estrada
Como quem não quer fazer nada
Ouça bem as vozes no mato
Como quem abriu seu coração
Eu sonhei outro mundo, meu amor
E a paz morava na nossa casa
Mil pessoas como nós
Sem palavras, por viver
Sonhei que era tempo de reencontrar amigos
Falar de um velho tempo morto que passou depressa
Sonhei que amanhã é hora de você jogar
Jogue sua vida na estrada
Como quem não quer fazer nada
Ouça bem as vozes no mato
Como quem abriu seu coração...
The lyrics of Lô Borges's song Faça Seu Jogo speak of taking risks and living life to the fullest. The opening lines implore the listener to throw their life on the road, as if they don't care about anything, but to listen carefully to the voices in the bush, as if they have opened their hearts. The singer's dream of a world where peace resides in their home, surrounded by thousands of people like them, living without words but through experience.
The song encourages one to take the leap and go out to explore, leaving behind old memories of lost time that passed quickly. It's a call to action urging the listener to play the game of life, to take risks, and to live passionately. The song's chorus repeats the opening lines, driving home the message that life is a game where one must listen attentively and open their heart to new experiences.
Interestingly, the song Faça Seu Jogo is a mash-up of two different songs penned by two different songwriters. The first part of the song was created by Lô Borges himself and the second part was written by another Brazilian musician, Tavinho Moura, for his song called Terra dos Pássaros. The two musicians then decided to merge the two songs into one, which became Faça Seu Jogo.
