Pra Ser Feliz Lyrics in English by Daniel
Cogitou comes from the verb cogitar, meaning "to consider" or "to contemplate". It's a more formal and introspective word than common verbs for thinking.
In the song, the lyric "Já cogitou descer de cima do seu ego" (Have you ever considered getting off your ego?) uses cogitou to challenge the listener to deeply reflect on their own pride and perspective, making it a thought-provoking and unique choice.
Have you ever found yourself complaining about bad luck instead of trying to be stronger when things get tough? Daniel's song "Pra Ser Feliz" [To Be Happy] really makes you think about that. He asks why we sometimes want things, like going up in life, without putting in the effort, or asking for affection without giving any back, or even looking around at others. It's a call to look beyond ourselves and our own struggles.
This song challenges us to think about what truly makes life beautiful and what we really need to be happy. Daniel asks, "Do que é que o ser humano necessita? O que é que faz a vida ser bonita?" [What does a human being need? What makes life beautiful?]. He wonders if the answer is about money or how to find paradise, or "Quanto custa pro verdadeiro sorriso brotar do coração?" [How much does it cost for a true smile to bloom from the heart?]. Maybe, he suggests, the key is simplicity and paying more attention to reality, learning from the inspiring examples of others. It's a beautiful reminder that sometimes, what we think is everything can actually be nothing.
