Beatriz

Edu Lobo's song 'Beatriz' is a poetic exploration of the mysterious and captivating nature of a woman, presumably an actress, named Beatriz. The lyrics are filled with questions and musings about her true essence, blending reality with fantasy. The repeated use of 'Será' (which translates to 'Will it be' or 'Is it') underscores the uncertainty and curiosity that the narrator feels towards Beatriz. This uncertainty is a central theme, as the narrator wonders if she is happy or sad, real or a mere illusion, grounded or ethereal. The ambiguity of her character is further emphasized by the metaphorical language, suggesting that her life might be a performance, a facade, or something divine and untouchable.

The song delves into the idea of entering Beatriz's life, a life that seems to be a blend of reality and fantasy. The narrator imagines her living in a skyscraper with walls made of chalk, crying in a hotel room, or dancing in the seventh heaven. These vivid images create a sense of surrealism, making Beatriz's world appear both enchanting and fragile. The desire to be part of her life is expressed through the lines 'E se eu pudesse entrar na sua vida' (And if I could enter your life), highlighting a longing to understand and perhaps share in her enigmatic existence.

The chorus brings a sense of yearning and vulnerability, as the narrator asks Beatriz to take him away and teach him to live without being grounded. The plea 'Me leva para sempre Beatriz' (Take me forever Beatriz) reflects a deep desire for escape and connection. The mention of disasters and the danger of happiness adds a layer of existential contemplation, suggesting that the pursuit of happiness and understanding might come with risks. The song beautifully captures the allure and complexity of Beatriz, making her a symbol of both mystery and desire.
