Princípio do Infinito

Claudio Jorge's song 'Princípio do Infinito' delves into the profound and boundless nature of love. The lyrics begin with the narrator expressing a sense of awe and wonder upon meeting someone special. The immediate connection felt is described as more luminous and dreamlike than anything the narrator or even a divine being could have imagined. This initial encounter leads to a deep and passionate love, one that is described as the sweetest dream ever tasted and one that will be continually savored.

The song goes beyond the conventional portrayal of love, suggesting that true love encompasses a spectrum of experiences and emotions. It is described as more than just a beautiful love; it is a complex blend of war and peace, witches and orixás (deities in Afro-Brazilian religions), symbolizing the dualities and mysteries of life. This love is the 'princípio do infinito' or the 'beginning of infinity,' indicating that it is eternal and limitless.

The chorus and subsequent verses further emphasize the all-encompassing nature of this love. It is compared to various dichotomies such as the tram and the train, zero and one hundred, silence and scream, good and evil, queen and nobody, normal and myth, here and beyond, atheist and amen, evil eye and blessed. These contrasts highlight the idea that love transcends all boundaries and opposites, embodying the infinite possibilities and complexities of existence. The repeated exclamation 'Ah! meu deus do céu' (Oh! my God) underscores the narrator's amazement and reverence for this profound love.
