Frevo Mulher

Elba Ramalho's 'Frevo Mulher' is a vibrant and poetic exploration of love, longing, and the passage of time. The song's lyrics are rich with imagery and metaphors, painting a vivid picture of a woman who captivates those around her. The opening lines, 'Quantos aqui ouvem / Os olhos eram de fé,' suggest a sense of reverence and admiration for this woman, whose presence seems almost mystical. The use of the word 'fé' (faith) implies that she inspires a deep, almost spiritual devotion in those who encounter her.

The song continues to explore the different seasons and elements, symbolizing the various phases and emotions of life and love. 'Quantos homens eram inverno / Outros verão' contrasts the coldness of winter with the warmth of summer, reflecting the diverse experiences and feelings of the men who love her. The imagery of 'Outonos caindo secos / No solo da minha mão' evokes a sense of loss and the inevitable passage of time, as autumn leaves fall dryly to the ground.

The chorus, 'É quando o vento sacode a cabeleira / A trança toda vermelha,' is particularly evocative, capturing a moment of wild, untamed beauty. The wind shaking her hair and the vivid red braid symbolize both the chaos and the passion that she brings into the lives of those around her. The repeated line, 'Um olho cego vagueia / Procurando por um,' suggests a sense of searching and longing, as if the woman is looking for something or someone to complete her. This blend of vivid imagery and emotional depth makes 'Frevo Mulher' a powerful and captivating song that resonates with listeners on multiple levels.
