Ventania
Silva Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Olha só quem veio tão de longe
Sem mandar aviso, veio pra ficar
Veio colorir o horizonte
Convidando o azul de volta pro lugar

Sempre te esperei sem saber onde
Foi parar o vento que te quis buscar
Hoje te revejo e sei teu nome
Mesmo que do meu você vá duvidar

A ausência habita no medo
Mas não temi te esperar
Amar é ventania

A ausência habita no medo
Mas não temi te esperar
Amar

A ausência habita no medo




Mas não temi te esperar
Amar

Overall Meaning

The song "Ventania" by Silva is a beautiful representation of hope and the power of love. The lyrics speak of someone who has come from afar, without warning, to bring color back into the singer's life. The personification of the wind ('ventania') as a force that can bring change or clarity is present throughout the lyrics. The singer seems to have waited for this person for a long time, not knowing where they were or how they could be found. Now that they have returned, the possibility of love is stronger than fear, and the singer is embracing it wholeheartedly.


The phrase "A ausência habita no medo" ("Absence dwells in fear") is repeated several times throughout the song, emphasizing the terror of being alone or forgotten. However, the chorus reminds us that love can have a powerful impact on these fears, portraying love as a "ventania" that can disrupt and change everything, and therefore, loving requires a massive leap of faith. The lyrics do not clarify if the person who has returned indeed proposes to be the love interest, but rather, the song celebrates the joy of the possibility of love.
