Quero É Viver

Song Meaning

“Quero É Viver” immediately declares an intent to live fully, brushing aside concerns about the future. The speaker states, “Que me importa o que serei” (What does it matter what I will be), squarely focusing on the present. This sets a tone of determined optimism, embracing life with an almost defiant resolve. A central emotional current in these lyrics is the tension between life's inherent uncertainty and an unshakeable commitment to joy. The narrator consistently “espero sempre um amanhã” (always hopes for a tomorrow), believing it “será mais um prazer” (will be one more pleasure). This isn't blind optimism, but a conscious decision to approach the future with open curiosity, rather than apprehension. The craft here shines through the powerful repetition, transforming core statements into a kind of personal mantra. Phrases like “Vou viver” and “Quero é viver” anchor the entire piece, reinforcing the speaker's resolve. Furthermore, the lyrics frame “a vida” (life) as “sempre uma curiosidade” (always a curiosity) that “desperta com a idade” (awakens with age), suggesting a deepening engagement rather than a waning one. This internal “riqueza” (richness) fuels a “prazer em descobrir” (pleasure in discovering). What makes these lyrics resonate is their empowering message: joy isn't passively received, but actively cultivated from within. The narrator's willingness to “Encontrar, renovar, vou fugir ou repetir” (To find, to renew, I will flee or repeat) speaks to a dynamic engagement with existence.
