Starlight, lasso of infinity

I love her so much like this

Yellow rose, voice of every scream

I love her so much like this

This immense, boundless love

Goes beyond whatever

Goes beyond where I go, what I am, my pain

My Equator line

This immense, boundless love

Goes beyond whatever

Goes farther than

Brasília's sky, the architect's stroke

I love her so much like this

Daughter-like love, black music

I love her so much like this

This excess of passion

Is madness of the heart

My Iguaçu Falls, South Pole, my blue

Light of naked feeling

This immense, boundless love

Goes beyond whatever

Goes beyond where I go, what I am, my pain

My Equator line

But it's sweet to die in this sea

To remember and never forget

If I had more soul to give

I'd give it, that's living to me

Brasília's sky, the architect's stroke

I love her so much like this

Daughter-like love, black music

I love her so much like this

This excess of passion

Is madness of the heart

My Iguaçu Falls, South Pole, my blue

Light of naked feeling

This immense boundless love

Goes beyond whatever

Goes beyond where I go, what I am, my pain

My Equator line

But it's sweet to die in this sea

To remember and never forget

If I had more soul to give

I'd give it, that's living to me

SONG MEANING

Linha do Equador feels like a postcard written with stardust and sung over a samba groove. Djavan compares his love to everything grand and unforgettable in Brazil: the endless glow of the Brasília sky, the roar of Iguaçu Falls, even the invisible stripe of the Equator itself. Each image shouts, “This feeling is bigger than borders!” and the singer delights in being swept away by a passion so wide that it outshines distance, identity, even pain.

By the chorus, love turns into pure geography. It races past South Pole blues, climbs architectural lines, and dives into oceans of memory where “it is sweet to die.” The message is clear: when affection is this vast, it becomes life’s true map. Djavan invites us to get lost in that map, because giving everything—right down to an extra soul if we had one—is what living really means.
