Maresia

João Gomes' song 'Maresia' is a tender ode to love and the serene moments shared between two people deeply connected. The term 'maresia' refers to the sea breeze, which in this context symbolizes the gentle and soothing nature of their relationship. The lyrics paint a picture of a couple moving together in harmony, enjoying the simplicity and tranquility of their bond. The repeated imagery of being 'coladinho' (close together) and moving 'devagarinho' (slowly) emphasizes the comfort and ease they find in each other's presence.

The song also highlights the contrast between their current relationship and past experiences. Gomes sings about how this love makes him laugh at previous relationships that were demanding and complicated. This new love is described as 'sorte grande' (a big luck), suggesting that finding such a harmonious connection is a rare and fortunate event. The mention of 'folha de arruda' (rue leaf) adds a cultural touch, as rue is often used in Brazilian folklore for protection and good luck, indicating that their love is blessed and safeguarded.

The recurring theme of balance is central to the song. The couple 'balaça, mas não cai' (sways but doesn't fall), symbolizing resilience and stability in their relationship. This balance is not just physical but emotional, as they navigate life's ups and downs together. The 'balanço' (swaying) is described as something immensely enjoyable, reinforcing the idea that their love is both strong and delightful. The song's repetitive structure and soothing melody mirror the calm and steady rhythm of their relationship, making 'Maresia' a beautiful celebration of enduring love and companionship.
