Lost Tempo
Every day when I agree
I don't have any more
O tempo que passou
More I have a lot of time
We have everything or time of the worldEvery day
Before sleep
Lembro and esqueço
Like foi or day
Always in front
We are not afraid to lose timeNosso suor sagrado
É bem mais belo
What is that bitter sangue
E tão serious
And selvagem! Selvagem!
Selvagem!Veja or sun
Dessa manhã tão cinza
A storm that chega
É da cor dos teus olhos
CastanhosEntão hug me forte
E say another time
How are we
Distant from you
We have our own tempo
We have our own tempo
We have our own tempoI don't have half of the dark
More deixe as luzes
Acesas agora
Or that it was hidden
What is hiding
I was promised
No promise
Nem foi lost tempo
We are so young
So young! So young!
Analysis and interpretation of the music "Tempo Perdido" by Legião Urbana
Or subject comes exactly by refletting on a passage of time, impossible to recover or passed ("Não tenho more / O tempo que passou ") and also the inevitability of the future (" Mas tenho muito tempo / Temos todo o tempo do world").
The lyrical subject uses the first person to be singular, falando with himself, but then passes for the plural; Let us also realize that there is a "nós", that the person is not sozinho, it fails with more than someone who is in a similar situation, that shares the same experiences.
There is also a reference to a regular behavior, a cycle, a type of rotina that leads or is subject to refer to destas questões us moments when I should be resting: "Every day when I agree" and "Every day / Before to sleep".
Before going to sleep, take the opportunity to lembrar or day that passou, to analyze it, more logo tem to eschecer, hah what There are obligations to fulfill, it is necessary to continue with your daily life, "Always in front / We do not have time to to lose". Those reflections always end up being interrupted hairs of real life.
Nosso suor sagrado
É bem mais belo
What is that bitter sangue
E tão serious
And selvagem! Selvagem!
Selvagem!
Or use do pronome pessoal "nosso" confirms the presence of um outro, to which subject it is addressed, stating Que o "suor sagrado" deles é more honored, more dignified, "bem mais belo" than or "bleed bitter" two others. Here, either sweat seems to be a metaphor for work, or daily effort for survival, not which their lives seem to be wasting away.
Or "bitter sangue", "serious" and "selvagem" would also be a symbol of letting them oppress, enriching you thanks to your alheio. This seems to be a political and social comment by Renato Russo about capitalism that promotes exploração two poor rich hairs, which dehumanizes the workers, reducing their lives to mere survival.
Veja or sun
Dessa manhã tão cinza
A storm that chega
É da cor dos teus olhos
CastanhosEntão hug me forte
E say another time
How are we
Distant from you
We have our own tempo
We have our own tempo
We have our own tempo
These verses, it becomes palpable in the presence of another subject, who has never guessed the previous stanzas; He is summoned directly as an expressão "veja o sol". A "manhã tão cinza", a "tempest that chega" are obvious symbols two days difficult in living the dark future that awaits you. Despite this, there is still sunlight, there are still the old houses of the beloved person.
Also, a loving relationship arises as a refuge, a possibility of comfort and security ("Então me abraça forte"), as they can be together together they can live, numa outra realidade, num mundo só seu ("E diz mais uma vez / Que já We're / Distant from tudo ").
Pressured by external forces, lovers unite each time more and repeat, like a kind of mantra: "We have our own tempo".
I don't have half of the dark
More deixe as luzes
Acesas agora
Or that it was hidden
What is hiding
I was promised
No promise
Nem foi lost tempo
We are so young
So young! So young!
Recognizing your own forces but also assuming your fragility not the present moment ("I do not have half of the dark / Mas deixe as luzes / Acesas agora "), or little subject allows himself to reflect more deeply about the way he lived and two tempos that he crossed.
He concluded that nothing was "lost time", all the experiences are valid and contribute to our growth. pessoal, lembrando that ele e seu companheiro tem ainda a life inteira pela fron como verso "We are tão youngsters ".
Through this music, Renato Russo seems to be tempted to respond to an existential anguish that at times amazes us all: or half of us are wasting life. Embora it is common that we are barely focused on our survival, and we must be aware of that there is still a future for us to see that we are free to change our conducts and priorities.
