Corda Bamba
Verônica Sabino Lyrics

The lyrics of Verônica Sabino's "Corda Bamba" are introspective and philosophical, describing the challenges of navigating the ups and downs of life. The first line, "Rego as plantas no jardim, rio de mim," can be interpreted as a metaphor for nurturing oneself and finding joy within despite external circumstances. The next lines describe dreaming of deserts and mirages, and seeking forgotten truths. The following lines, "Tô na rua tô na vida, tô na corda bamba, lembro de um velho samba, pra não esquecer do meu amor," express the idea that life is like walking on a tightrope, filled with uncertainty and potential for falling. However, the singer remembers the beautiful moments and love that give her strength to keep going.

The next few lines underline the theme of waiting patiently for what is to come: "Em tudo que eu faço, em todo novo passo, há sempre uma longa espera." The singer has become accustomed to waiting, "cansei de ver no escuro," but she no longer despairs about what the future may hold. Even though life is unpredictable, she trusts in herself and remains resolute. The final two lines, "Ouço vozes, ouço o vento, e o meu coração mais violento que um tambor. Sei o ritmo das feras, entre as horas e as eras, desenho a flor," convey a sense of determination and adaptability. The singer is confident in her ability to listen to her inner voice, even in difficult times. Despite the tumultuousness of her emotions ("my heart more violent than a drum"), she acknowledges the rhythms of life and creates beauty from chaos.
