Matinê no Rian

João Penca & Seus Miquinhos Amestrados' song 'Matinê no Rian' is a charming ode to love and the lengths one is willing to go for it. The lyrics paint a picture of a person deeply in love, ready to make significant changes and sacrifices to be with their beloved. The opening lines, 'Eu por você, sou capaz de mudar / Não ser durão, dirigir devagar,' suggest a willingness to soften one's demeanor and adopt a more careful, considerate approach to life, all for the sake of love. This sentiment is further emphasized with the line, 'Vender meu blusão, te comprar um brilhante,' indicating a readiness to give up personal possessions to bring joy to their partner.

The song also touches on the transformative power of love. The narrator no longer dreams of kissing movie stars like James Dean, as their partner's gaze is now everything to them. This shift in priorities is beautifully captured in the line, 'O teu olhar já é tudo pra mim / Nem sonho mais em beijar James Dean.' The mention of Cupid's arrow highlights the sudden and profound impact of falling in love, making the narrator realize their chance at true happiness.

The chorus, 'Eu acho legal nós dois um casal / Diga ao seu passado Bye bye,' speaks to the joy and excitement of being a couple, encouraging the partner to leave their past behind and embrace a future together. The imagery of walking hand in hand on the sands of Copacabana and attending matinées at the Rian cinema evokes a sense of nostalgic romance, suggesting that true love is timeless and never goes out of style. The final line, 'Um grande amor não será jamais / Demodée,' reinforces this idea, asserting that a great love will never be outdated or unfashionable.
