Cicatrizes translates to "scars." It's an evocative word that goes beyond simple physical marks, often carrying deeper emotional weight.
In the song, the lyric "Eu guardo amores, coleciono cicatrizes" (I keep loves, I collect scars) uses "cicatrizes" metaphorically. It suggests that the narrator collects experiences, both good (loves) and challenging (scars), as part of their life's journey, making it a poignant and memorable choice.
Será is a laid-back, sun-kissed anthem where Lagum and IZA invite us to stop stressing about the future and simply let life unfold. The repeated line “Se tiver que ser, será” (“If it has to be, it will be”) is the song’s heartbeat, reminding us that the universe has its own timing. The singers picture life as a road trip with open windows: they wake up, rub their eyes, feel a gentle breeze, and collect both loves and scars along the way. Instead of clinging to rigid plans, they treat the whole world as their home and greet every sunrise and sunset with curiosity.
The chorus echoes the famous Brazilian saying “Deixa a vida levar” (“Let life take you”), borrowed from a classic samba. In other words, keep moving, do not look back, and trust that the line will keep advancing. It is a feel-good manifesto for anyone who wants to trade anxiety for adventure, celebrating the idea that freedom comes from accepting what you cannot control and dancing to whatever rhythm the day brings.
Lagum came together in 2014 in Minas Gerais, Brazil, when singer Pedro Calais started posting his own songs online and pulled together a band to play them. Guitarists Otávio Cardoso and Jorge Borges and bassist Francisco Jardim rounded out the lineup, and together they built a sound that mixes breezy pop rock with a reggae swing, something the band once described as rock and roll heading to the beach on a skateboard while a reggae song plays.
That sound landed them a deal with Sony Music Brazil and a run of albums that started with Seja o Que Eu Quiser in 2016 and continued through Coisas da Geração, Memórias (De Onde Eu Nunca Fui), a 2021 Latin Grammy nominee for Best Rock or Alternative Album in Portuguese Language, Depois do Fim, and As Cores, As Curvas e As Dores do Mundo. Singles like "Não Vou Mentir," "Ninguém Me Ensinou," and "Grato um Tanto" turned Lagum into repeat winners of Multishow's Group of the Year award in 2020, 2021, and 2022.
