Song Meaning of “O Gavião – Ao Vivo” by Gino & Geno
O Gavião is a moving ballad by Gino & Geno, which paints a vivid picture of the titular gavião, a hawk flying through the Brazilian skies. The song tells the story of a man watching a hawk soaring through the air with admiration: “Look at the hawk flying in the sky/It spreads its wings and soars away”. The man compares the hawk to himself, dreaming of the freedom of being unencumbered by life’s obstacles: “Oh, how I would like to be like a hawk”.
The lyrics reminisce about a simpler time, with simpler joys – the joy of a hawk’s flight and the beauty of the surrounding nature: “The sun comes out, among the trees/A warm breeze and a happy song”. The song expresses a longing for beauty, away from modern chaos: “The world never made an offer/Far from noise and worry”.
The chorus of the song ties all of these themes together, with a profound message that dreams can come true if one works hard and continues to fly: “Oh, Gavião, fly, fly/Do not give up, be strong/Spread your wings and conquer/There is peace and glory below”. With this inspiring message, the song expresses the idea that with persistence, dreams can be achieved.
