Empowerment and Independence: Carolina Deslandes' Anthem of Self-Worth
Carolina Deslandes' song "Olha Pra Nós," featuring Soraia Ramos, is a powerful anthem of self-worth and independence. The lyrics tell the story of a woman who has moved on from a past relationship and is now thriving on her own. The ex-partner, who once took her for granted, is now desperately trying to win her back. However, she is resolute in her decision to stay away, emphasizing that she is better off without him. This narrative is a common theme in Deslandes' music, which often explores themes of love, heartbreak, and personal growth.
The chorus, "Olha pra nós, há quem queira eu só tenho de escolher, eu quero tudo menos ser tua mulher," translates to "Look at us, there are those who want me, I just have to choose, I want everything except to be your woman." This line encapsulates the essence of the song: the protagonist has options and is no longer willing to settle for less than she deserves. The repetition of "dja não ka kre-u" (I don't want you anymore) further reinforces her newfound independence and self-assurance.
The song also touches on themes of resilience and self-reliance. Lines like "não tenho azar eu sou a sorte" (I am not unlucky, I am the luck) and "não sou segunda escolha" (I am not a second choice) highlight the protagonist's confidence and refusal to be treated as an afterthought. The collaboration with Soraia Ramos adds an extra layer of depth to the song, as both artists bring their unique vocal styles and perspectives to the narrative. Together, they create a compelling and relatable story of empowerment and self-love.
