Rei Do Mar Lyrics in English by Djavan
Tormentas translates to "storms." While seemingly straightforward, it's a word that carries significant weight and imagery, especially in the context of a song about the sea.
In "Rei Do Mar," Djavan sings, "Vou remover lendas, tormentas, paixão" (I will remove legends, storms, passion). Here, "tormentas" isn't just about bad weather; it symbolizes the challenges, difficulties, and emotional turmoil one might face in life or on a journey. The protagonist's desire to "remove" them suggests a quest for peace and mastery over life's adversities, making it a compelling and evocative choice.
Get ready to feel the power of the ocean with Djavan's "Rei Do Mar"! This song is all about embracing freedom and a sense of belonging. The singer declares, "Vou me perder no azul verde do mar" [I will lose myself in the blue-green of the sea], ready to explore and seek out life itself.
He's not afraid of anything the sea throws at him, whether it's "a brisa fria" [the cold breeze], "o temporal" [the storm], or even "lendas, tormentas, paixão" [legends, torments, passion]. He's the master of his own destiny, proclaiming, "Eu sou o rei, eu sou o rei, eu sou o rei do mar da minha cidade natal" [I am the king, I am the king, I am the king of the sea of my hometown]. It's a powerful statement of identity and connection to his roots, showing that no matter what, he feels at home and in charge when he's by the sea.
