Remanso

Katinguelê's song 'Remanso' is a beautiful ode to love, capturing the serene and tender moments shared between two people. The lyrics paint a picture of a calm and peaceful night, where the gentle breeze and the stars create a perfect backdrop for romance. The word 'remanso' itself means a calm or still place in a river, symbolizing a safe haven where love can flourish without disturbances. This metaphor extends to the relationship described in the song, suggesting that the love between the two individuals is a sanctuary from the chaos of the outside world.

The song delves into the emotions that love evokes, from the joy of simple, silly actions to the profound connection felt when two people are close. The line 'Às vezes fazer coisas tolas' highlights how love can make us act in ways that might seem foolish to others but are deeply meaningful to those in love. The imagery of 'rosto no rosto a carícia' emphasizes the intimacy and closeness shared by the couple, further enhanced by the poetic and musical elements that accompany their love.

As the song progresses, it speaks to the enduring nature of this love, with the stars shining to light up the night and guide their dreams. The 'remanso do meu mar' becomes a recurring motif, representing the dreamlike state of being in love and the desire to cherish and nurture this feeling for an entire year. The repetitive 'La, laia, laia, laia' at the end of the song adds a whimsical and carefree touch, encapsulating the joy and simplicity of being in love. Katinguelê's 'Remanso' is a heartfelt celebration of love's tranquility and the profound impact it has on our lives.
