Song Meaning of “Um Louco – Ao Vivo” by Gian & Giovani
“Um Louco” by Gian & Giovani is a song that speaks to the listener about the struggles and emotions experienced by those who are labeled as “crazy”. While the lyrics focus on the narrator’s own experiences with being labeled as “crazy”, the song also speaks to the experiences of anyone who has ever been judged and labeled because of their different and unique outlook on life.
The narrator in the song expresses the pain and frustration of being seen as “crazy”, while at the same time inspiring the listener to embrace their own individual quirkiness: “Deixa que me julguem, me chamem de louco / Faz parte do meu jeito, é assim que eu me deixo ir” (Let them judge me, call me crazy / It’s part of my style, this is how I let myself go). The song plays on the idea that everyone has their own way of seeing the world, even if it may not be considered standard or orthodox.
The chorus urges the listener not to be ashamed of their own unique style of thinking: “Ser um louco é o meu jeito/ sou diferente, mas é legal/ um louco normal do meu jeito/ quem sou eu pra você julgar?”
