Se Deliciar
Carlito Broto
A Celebration of Love and Joy in 'Se Deliciar'
Carlito Broto's song 'Se Deliciar' is a vibrant celebration of love, joy, and the festive spirit of Brazilian culture, particularly during the Carnival season. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a magical encounter, where the protagonist sees someone special passing by, sparking a desire to be close to them. This moment is described as a 'pure fantasy,' highlighting the dreamlike quality of the experience and the intense emotions it evokes.
The song then transitions to the lively atmosphere of Carnival in Bahia, a state in Brazil known for its rich cultural heritage and exuberant celebrations. The lyrics emphasize the all-encompassing joy and beauty of the festival, with phrases like 'Carnaval tudo é festa' (Carnival is all about celebration) and 'A Bahia se entrega' (Bahia surrenders to this enchantment). The imagery of beautiful people and the excitement of the parade ('Vou te ver na avenida') further enhance the sense of community and shared happiness.
In the chorus, the song invites the listener to join in the revelry, to 'se amar' (love each other) and 'pular a traz do trio' (dance behind the trio), referring to the trio elétrico, a key element of Brazilian Carnival where musicians perform on a moving stage. The repeated call to 'se deliciar' (delight) with the beautiful beaches and the promise of love ('Eu quero te amar') encapsulates the essence of the song: a joyous, passionate celebration of life, love, and the unique cultural experience of Brazilian Carnival.
