O Que É O Que É is Gonzaguinha’s sparkling love letter to life. With the curiosity of a child, he keeps asking “What is it, really?” and finds his answer in pure, uncomplicated joy. Over an irresistible samba groove he urges us to live without the shame of being happy, to sing out loud, and to cherish the beauty of being “an eternal learner.”
The lyrics turn into a lively street-corner debate: is life pain or pleasure, illusion or heartbeat, blessing or battle? Gonzaguinha listens to every opinion, then smiles and stakes his claim – life is ours to create. Even when it feels flawed, it is still “bonita, bonita, bonita.” The song reminds us that nobody wants death; what we crave is health, luck, and the courage to keep believing that tomorrow can be better. It is an anthem of hope that invites you to clap along, practice your Portuguese, and remember that the simplest answer might also be the truest one.
