Simplesmente Ser

Carminho's song 'Simplesmente Ser' delves into the profound journey of self-discovery and personal growth. The lyrics invite the listener to reflect on their own experiences and transformations. The opening lines, 'Vem contar-me o que andaste a fazer, em quem tropeçaste, no que te tornaste sem prever,' suggest a conversation where one is asked to share their journey, including the unexpected turns and the people they encountered along the way. This sets the stage for a narrative about the unpredictability of life and the growth that comes from it.

The song continues to explore the theme of transformation with lines like 'Como transformaste tanta certeza no contraste só para amadurecer.' Here, Carminho touches on the idea that certainty often gives way to contrast and change, which are essential for maturation. The lyrics suggest that it is through these contrasts and challenges that one truly grows and evolves. The mention of multiplying oneself 'sem perder' implies that despite the changes and growth, the core essence of the person remains intact.

The repeated refrain, 'Estou a tentar simplesmente ser,' emphasizes the ongoing effort to simply be. This phrase captures the essence of the song, highlighting the struggle and the beauty of striving to live authentically and fully in the present moment. Carminho's soothing voice and the gentle melody further enhance the introspective and contemplative nature of the song, making it a poignant reflection on the human experience of becoming and being.
