Song Meaning of “Fogo da Paixão” by Anastácia
This song is about feeling passionate love, and the lyrics speak of the experience of feeling intense emotions for another person. Anastácia speaks of how she and her lover have been able to free themselves from the holds of the past, and now have the freedom to explore each other and discover the depths of their love. The words “Fogo da paixão” translated to English mean “Passion Fire”, and the lyrics describe what it’s like to be consumed by this fire of passion. The intensity of the emotions experienced can be seen in lines like, “Sem censura, sem medo, sem dor/ To dando passos rumo ao amor” which translates to “Without censorship, without fear, without pain/ We are taking steps towards love”. The chorus gives a sense of hope that their feelings will last despite the challenges, by singing “Vamos viver de sentimento/ Sei que essa chama nunca vai se apagar” which translates to “Let’s live by feeling/ I know this flame will never die”. This fiery passion is a mix of joy and sorrow, which is felt deep in the heart and no one but the lovers can understand. In the end, the message is clear: allowing oneself to be fully consumed by love will bring both hope and heartache, but it’s worth it.
