Acho que dá
Marina Lima Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Aqui não é o mundo de Adão
E volta e meia aqui tudo pifa
É tempo, grana, amor, avião
Então me bate aquele medo
Solidão geral
Mas tendo os meus amigos por perto
Eu acho que não fica tão mal
Periga escuta na esquina
Caretas marcam sob pressão
Que a gente sempre com tudo em cima
O céu, a terra, a vida, a visão
Só quero mesmo que o meu desejo
Saiba sempre enlouquecer
E a calma acentuando meus medos
Assim eu acho que dá pra vencer
Só quero achar que vai dar (bis)
The lyrics of Marina Lima's "Acho que dá" convey a sense of optimism and resiliency in the face of challenges. The opening lines, "Eu vou ver se tomo conto de mim, bem / Aqui não é o mundo de Adão," speak to the idea that the world we live in is not perfect or always fair, but we can take control of our own lives and circumstances. The following lines touch on various difficulties that can arise - time, money, love, travel - but the chorus repeats the belief that it will work out somehow: "Só quero achar que vai dar" (I just want to believe it will work out).
The second verse mentions hearing judgmental voices from people in the streets ("Periga escuta na esquina / Caretas marcam sob pressão"), but the lyrics emphasize the importance of knowing oneself and having supportive friends ("Mas tendo os meus amigos por perto / Eu acho que não fica tão mal"). The final lines express a desire for a balance between passion and calmness, where desire can be a driving force but fear does not paralyze one: "Só quero mesmo que o meu desejo / Saiba sempre enlouquecer / E a calma acentuando meus medos / Assim eu acho que dá pra vencer" (I just want my desire to always know how to go crazy / And calm accentuating my fears / So I think it's possible to win).
Overall, "Acho que dá" is a song that encourages listeners to believe in themselves and their ability to overcome obstacles through determination and support from others.
