Song Meaning of “Luz do meu Viver” by Emerson Urso
Luz do meu Viver is a beautiful Portuguese ballad, written and performed by Emerson Urso. The song speaks of the irresistible, yet elusive nature of love. It paints a vivid picture of an aching heart and of someone searching for the light of love to break through the darkness.
The first lines of the song, “Caminho ao vazio da solidão/Em busca de uma luz, dos meus sonhos/Onde posso encontrar a paz e a razão/Do coração a voz que ecoa pra longe”, set the scene for a perilous journey, undertaken by the protagonist in search of love. As they traverse the bleak and empty landscape of loneliness, they search desperately for the peace and harmony that can be found in a lasting and fulfilled love.
The second part of the song conveys the protagonist’s hope that they will be blessed with this life affirming love: “Eu quero acreditar/Que a luz do meu viver/Ainda pode me guiar/Se vou seguir.” Though hope is strong, there is a hint of doubt that this desire will be fulfilled, and that their journey may be in vain.
