Vive

Djavan's song 'Vive' is a poetic exploration of love, pain, and the importance of living in the moment. The lyrics convey a message of letting go of unnecessary suffering and allowing time to heal wounds. The opening lines, 'É inútil chorar / Noites enveredar / Ruir por nada,' suggest that crying and dwelling on pain is futile. Instead, the singer encourages embracing life and love without the burden of sorrow.

The metaphor of the sailor and the sea, 'Minha vida é sua / Como o marinheiro do mar,' illustrates a deep connection and commitment, yet also hints at the unpredictable nature of life and relationships. The refrain, 'Desencana meu amor, / Tudo seu é muita dor, / Vive,' repeatedly urges the listener to 'disengage' from pain and simply live. This reflects a philosophy of acceptance and resilience, emphasizing that some things are beyond our control and should be left to time.

Djavan's lyrical style is rich with imagery and emotion, capturing the essence of longing and the pursuit of happiness. The lines 'Tanto o que eu sonhei / Nos amar à pleno vapor' express a dream of passionate love, while 'Fazê-la estrela / Da sagração / De um ser feliz' speaks to the desire to elevate the beloved to a place of joy and fulfillment. Ultimately, 'Vive' is a call to live freely and let time take its course, trusting that what is meant to happen will happen.
