Casaco Marrom

Evinha's song 'Casaco Marrom' is a poignant exploration of nostalgia, personal identity, and subtle resistance. The lyrics open with the artist expressing a desire to return to her past self, symbolized by wearing her old brown coat. This coat represents a time of joy and simplicity, a period in her life where she felt more connected to her true self. The act of 'taking the hand of joy and leaving' suggests a longing to escape the present and recapture the happiness of earlier days.

The mention of Copacabana, a famous neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro, adds a layer of cultural context. It symbolizes a place of beauty and leisure, where the breeze is at her disposal, indicating a sense of freedom and peace. However, this idyllic image is contrasted with the mention of the H-bomb, a metaphor for the destructive forces threatening to ruin the beauty and innocence of life. The 'flower in bud' represents potential and new beginnings, which are at risk of being destroyed by external threats.

Evinha's response to these threats is a firm 'no,' as she looks at a 'girl in mid-season,' possibly a younger version of herself or a new generation. This act of looking and acknowledging the heart ('Alô coração') signifies a call to remain true to one's emotions and values despite external pressures. The repetition of the desire to return to the 'old times of me' and wear the brown coat again underscores a deep yearning for authenticity and resistance against forces that seek to disrupt personal and collective peace.
