Caminho de Volta
Manu Gavassi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Conheça tudo o que sempre sonhou.
Ouvi dizer que Porto Alegre faz frio, mas foi lá
Onde começou.
Voe pra longe, vou ficar esperando
E me lembrando enquanto olho pro céu
Que em Salvador eu descobri que seu coração
Siga o seu caminho, sem pensar
Mas lembre onde eu vou estar
Agora e até o fim
Foi a vida que quis assim
Me abraça, eu sei que tudo fica bem
Mesmo se ninguém acreditar
Não importa
Espero ser o seu caminho de volta
Voe pro mundo, que te espero hoje à noite
Veja os sorrisos ansiosos outra vez
Foi no Rio que eu descobri, que sua falta é mais
Do que eu imaginei
E se a distância, me fizer esquecer
Se olhar pro céu e derrepente não te encontrar
Feche os olhos e eu sei que meu futuro é
Onde você esta
Siga o seu caminho, sem pensar
Mas lembre onde eu vou estar
Agora e até o fim
Foi a vida que quis assim
Me abraça, eu sei que tudo fica bem
Mesmo se ninguém acreditar
Não importa
Espero ser o seu caminho
Siga os seus sonhos e volte pra mim
O mundo espera por nós, eu posso ouvir
E quando nada fizer mais sentido, eu
Ainda vou estar aqui
Siga o seu caminho, sem pensar
Mas lembre onde eu vou estar
Agora e até o fim
Foi a vida que quis assim
Me abraça, eu sei que tudo fica bem
Mesmo se ninguém acreditar
Não importa
Espero ser o seu caminho de volta
The song "Caminho de Volta" by Manu Gavassi is about letting go and pursuing your dreams, but also holding onto the hope that you'll find your way back to someone important in your life. The lyrics encourage the listener to explore the world and chase their goals, but to never forget where they come from and the people they love. The chorus repeats the phrase "Siga o seu caminho, sem pensar, mas lembre onde eu vou estar" which translates to "Follow your path, without thinking, but remember where I'll be."
The first verse talks about a person embarking on a new journey to experience all that they've ever dreamt of. The singer tells them to go and explore the world and promises to be waiting for them when they return. The location of Porto Alegre is mentioned, which is a city in southern Brazil known for its cooler climate. The second verse talks about missing someone who is far away and how their absence is felt even more strongly than expected. But the singer remains hopeful and assures the person that they'll always be there for them.
The overall theme of the song is bittersweet - it's about taking risks and following your heart but also acknowledging the importance of the people who have shaped you. It's not just a love song but it can apply to any important relationship in someone's life. The song encourages the listener to believe in themselves while also reminding them that they are not alone and can always find their way back home.
