Estou a Casar

Kanda's song 'Estou a Casar' is a heartfelt ode to love, commitment, and the journey that leads to the altar. The lyrics speak of overcoming obstacles and the resilience of a relationship that has withstood the test of time and adversity. The mention of 'mil barreiras' (a thousand barriers) suggests that the couple has faced significant challenges, but their determination and love for each other have kept them together. The 'fogo da inveja' (fire of envy) implies that external forces, possibly including jealousy from others, have attempted to derail their union, yet they have emerged stronger.

The song delves into the depth of the couple's love, which is described as beyond the understanding of Cupid or any romantic novel. This comparison elevates their love to a mystical or divine level, suggesting it is a rare and profound emotion. The natural imagery of the 'Sol, Lua e mar' (Sun, Moon, and sea) symbolizes harmony and the natural order of things, indicating that their love is as essential and elemental as these forces of nature.

The wedding day is depicted with vivid emotion, highlighting the beauty of the bride and the groom's overwhelming feelings. The repetition of 'E se for um sonho eu não quero acordar' (And if it's a dream, I don't want to wake up) emphasizes the dreamlike quality of the moment, while the vows 'Na alegria e na tristeza, Na saúde e na doença, Na riqueza e na pobreza' (In joy and in sorrow, in health and in sickness, in wealth and in poverty) underscore the traditional commitment made during wedding ceremonies. The song is a celebration of love's triumph over all odds and the joy of finding 'the one' who feels like a blessing from above.
