A Dois Graus

In 'A Dois Graus,' Alan e Aladim paint a poignant picture of longing and heartache set against the backdrop of a cold, snowy winter. The song's protagonist has been waiting for nearly a year, clinging to the promise of a loved one's return. The imagery of the changing seasons, from summer to winter, underscores the passage of time and the deepening sense of loneliness. The arrival of winter, with its biting cold, symbolizes the emotional chill that has settled in the protagonist's heart due to the absence of their beloved.

The lyrics vividly describe the physical and emotional coldness experienced by the protagonist. The snow covering the window and the fire in the fireplace serve as metaphors for the warmth and comfort that the loved one used to provide. Despite the physical warmth of the fire, it is clear that only the return of the loved one can truly thaw the protagonist's frozen heart. The repeated mention of the temperature being 'a dois graus' (two degrees) emphasizes the harshness of the winter and the depth of the protagonist's despair.

The song also touches on the power of memories and the passage of time. The mention of a record player and the sound of the wind whispering the loved one's name evoke a sense of nostalgia and longing for the past. The protagonist's sleepless nights and the sight of the snow-covered city further highlight the emptiness and isolation they feel. 'A Dois Graus' is a heartfelt ballad that captures the pain of waiting and the hope that love will eventually return to warm the coldest of winters.
