Calma
Manu Santos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Deixa cair
Ara,
Tempo por vir
Prepara a terra
Dissolve a mágoa
Passeia sem pensar
Calma,
Deixa cair
Ara,
Tempo por vir
Prepara a terra
Deixa molhar
Deixa abater
Deixa derramar
Pra que sofrer?
Pra chorar?
Pra semear:
Caindo do céu
Atravessa o ar
Escorre no chão
Pra brotar
Caindo do céu
Atravessa o ar
Escorre no chão
Pra brotar
Calma,
Deixa cair
Ara,
Tempo por vir
Prepara a terra
Deixa molhar
Deixa abater
Deixa derramar
Pra que sofrer?
Pra chorar?
Pra semear:
Caindo do céu
Atravessa o ar
Escorre no chão
Pra brotar
Caindo do céu
Atravessa o ar
Escorre no chão
Pra brotar
Manu Santos's song "Calma" is a powerful reminder for us to be patient and let things unfold naturally. The lyrics talk about letting go of pain and preparing the ground for the upcoming time. The song starts with "calma" which means "calm down", indicating that we need to take a step back from life's hectic nature and take a deep breath. The next lines "deixa cair", "tempo por vir" mean "let it fall", "time to come" which implies that we should let things take their natural course without trying to control them too much.
Santos then talks about "preparing the land" and "dissolving the sorrow", indicating that we need to let go of negativity and embrace positivity. The lyrics also talk about the importance of being present in the moment and "listening to the water". The repetition of the phrase "calma" throughout the song reinforces the message of taking things slow and not rushing into anything.
As the song progresses, Santos uses metaphors of rain and seedlings to convey his message further. The lines "deixa molhar", "deixa abater", "deixa derramar" mean "let it wet", "let it fall heavily", "let it pour" respectively, implying that sometimes we need to endure hardship to grow. The lines "pra que sofrer?" (why suffer?), "pra chorar?" (to cry?), "pra semear" (to sow) indicate that sometimes we need to go through pain and tears to sow the seeds of growth.
Overall, "Calma" is an inspiring and uplifting song for anyone going through tough times, who needs a reminder to take a step back, breathe, and let go of things they cannot control.
