Compromisso
Rael Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sempre sorriso,
Fechado,
Nunca contente, tava perdido
Mais. isso à tempos atraz
Que cargos industriais,
Tirou meu sono e paz
Nessa cidade que é dura
Se não manter a postura
Se não tiver a cultura
Você ta falido
É, você não procura saber,
Que tudo tem um por quê
E que a vida é pra valer
Que é compromisso...
Que é compromisso...
The lyrics of Rael da Rima's song "Compromisso" describe the struggles and hardships that come with living in a big city. The opening lines suggest that the singer wakes up early and tired, making it difficult to find happiness in his life. He feels lost and unsure of what to do next. However, the following lines reveal that these feelings haven't been present for just a short time - it's been a while since he's felt content.
The singer then reflects on his experience working in industrial jobs that have taken away his sleep and peace. He acknowledges the tough nature of the city and the importance of maintaining one's integrity and culture in the face of that harshness. He realizes that there has to be a reason why things are the way they are, and that it's essential to be committed to what's important in life.
In essence, "Compromisso" is a song that speaks to the challenges of urban living and the need for individuals to stay true to their values, even when the world around them feels cold and uncaring.

Eu acordava bem cedo e cansado,
I used to wake up early and tired,
Sempre sorriso,
But always with a smile,
Fechado,
Closed off,
Nunca contente, tava perdido
Never satisfied, I was lost

That was some time ago
Que cargos industriais,
