O Que Você Quer Saber De Verdade Lyrics in English by Marisa Monte
Barulhinho is the diminutive form of barulho (noise), meaning "little noise" or "soft sound". The use of the diminutive adds a tender and intimate quality to the word, making it feel gentle and almost endearing.
In the song, Marisa Monte sings about listening to "o barulhinho que o tempo no seu peito faz" (the little noise that time makes in your chest). This beautiful imagery evokes the subtle, internal rhythm of life and the passage of time, making barulhinho a uniquely poetic and enticing word.
Marisa Monte's "O Que Você Quer Saber de Verdade" is like a warm, gentle hug telling you to just be. It's all about letting go and finding freedom. The lyrics encourage you to "Vai sem direção, Vai ser livre" [Go without direction, Go be free], which is such a lovely thought, isn't it? It suggests that sometimes the best path is no path at all, just pure freedom.
The song also has this beautiful way of talking about sadness, saying "A tristeza não, Não resiste" [Sadness no, Does not resist]. It's as if sadness can't stick around when you're truly present and open. You're invited to "Solte os seus cabelos ao vento" [Let your hair down in the wind] and "Não olhe pra trás" [Don't look back], focusing instead on the quiet rhythm of life, like the "barulhinho que o tempo No seu peito faz" [little sound that time makes in your chest]. It's a reminder to listen to your inner self and the world around you, finding peace in every falling leaf and passing cloud, and ultimately, discovering "O que você quer saber de verdade" [What you really want to know].
