Rap da Merlin - Nanatsu No Taizai (18)
Felícia Rock
The Enchanting Power of Lady Merlin
Felícia Rock's song "Rap da Merlin - Nanatsu No Taizai (18)" is a powerful tribute to the character Merlin from the popular anime and manga series "Nanatsu no Taizai" (The Seven Deadly Sins). The lyrics are a bold declaration of Merlin's immense magical prowess, intelligence, and commanding presence. The song opens with a call to respect the 'maga do trap,' a clever play on words that combines 'maga' (witch) with 'trap,' a genre of hip-hop, setting the tone for a fusion of magical and musical mastery.
Merlin is portrayed as a prodigious daughter of Belialuin, a city known for its high level of magical knowledge. The repeated phrase 'Pecado de alta sapiência' (Sin of high wisdom) emphasizes her role as the Sin of Gluttony, not in the traditional sense of overindulgence in food, but in her insatiable hunger for knowledge and power. The lyrics highlight her ability to manipulate time and her 'infinity' power, which makes her magic seemingly endless. This portrayal aligns with her character in the series, where she is known for her vast intellect and formidable magical abilities.
The song also delves into Merlin's complex personality and her interactions with other characters. Lines like 'A garota que ludibriou a deusa e o demônio' (The girl who deceived the goddess and the demon) showcase her cunning and strategic mind. The references to her sensuality and the reactions she provokes in others add layers to her character, making her both feared and admired. The chorus, with its hypnotic repetition, reinforces her dominance and the transformative power of her 'magic-flow.'
Felícia Rock's energetic delivery and the trap beat complement the lyrical content, creating an anthem that celebrates Merlin's strength and allure. The song is not just a character study but also a celebration of female empowerment and intelligence, wrapped in the mystique of magic and the rhythm of trap music.
