In The Morning

Mallu Magalhães' song "In The Morning" captures the serene and hopeful moments of waking up and contemplating the day ahead. The lyrics paint a picture of a peaceful morning where the protagonist feeds their eyes with sunbeams, symbolizing a fresh start and the beauty of a new day. This imagery sets a tranquil tone, suggesting a sense of renewal and the endless possibilities that each day brings. The question, "Who will I be today?" reflects a moment of introspection and the freedom to choose one's path and identity each day.

The song then shifts to a more personal and intimate desire, as the protagonist expresses a longing to be with a loved one. The simplicity of wanting to be with someone special, encapsulated in the line, "Now I wanna be with you, that's all I need," highlights the importance of love and companionship in the protagonist's life. The repeated question, "Would you come with me if I smile to you?" suggests a gentle invitation to share in the day's experiences and joys, emphasizing the power of a smile and the warmth of human connection.

The inclusion of Portuguese lyrics adds a layer of cultural richness and personal declaration. The lines, "Só pra constar nos registros por aí, que todo o meu amor é teu," translate to "Just to record out there, that all my love is yours," and "Só pra contar pra quem quiser ouvir, que eu encontrei alguém," meaning "Just to tell whoever wants to hear, that I found someone." These lines reinforce the theme of love and the joy of finding a significant other, making the song a heartfelt ode to love and the simple pleasures of life.
