Uni Duni Te

Cantora Sandra's song 'Uni Duni Te' is a delightful and whimsical exploration of chance and choice, wrapped in the innocence of a children's game. The lyrics revolve around the playful chant 'Uni duni te, salame minguê, um sorvete colorê, o escolhido foi você,' which is a traditional Brazilian counting rhyme used by children to make decisions in games. This rhyme sets the tone for the entire song, emphasizing the theme of serendipity and the joy of unexpected connections.

The narrative of the song follows the singer's journey of finding someone special among many. The lines 'Eu vim de longe, pede prá ficar. Não sei mas eu senti, que ia lhe encontrar' suggest a sense of destiny and intuition, as if the singer knew they would meet this person. The imagery of holding hands and starting anew together ('E de mãos dadas, vamos começar') evokes a sense of partnership and new beginnings, highlighting the excitement and hope that come with forming a new bond.

The repetition of the rhyme throughout the song reinforces the idea that life, much like a children's game, is full of random yet meaningful choices. The singer's declaration 'De mil meninos, fui querer você' underscores the uniqueness of the chosen one, while also acknowledging the uncertainty of whether the feeling is mutual ('Não sei se você quer, ser meu bem querer'). This blend of playful innocence and genuine emotion makes 'Uni Duni Te' a charming ode to the serendipitous nature of love and connection.
