Feliz

Maria Rita's song 'Feliz' is a heartfelt plea for joy and connection amidst life's chaos and loneliness. The lyrics invite someone to come and mix 'juizo' (judgment) with 'carnaval' (carnival), symbolizing a blend of rationality and celebration. This juxtaposition suggests a desire to balance the seriousness of life with moments of joy and festivity. The call to 'trair a solidão' (betray loneliness) highlights the human need for companionship and the rejection of isolation.

The song further explores the theme of duality by asking to 'separar o lado bom do mal' (separate the good from the bad) and 'acalmar meu coração' (calm my heart). This reflects a yearning for clarity and peace in a world often filled with moral ambiguities and emotional turmoil. The repeated request to 'tirar o escuro e a sensação de que o inferno é por aqui' (remove the darkness and the feeling that hell is here) underscores a deep-seated desire to escape from despair and find light and hope.

Maria Rita's soulful delivery and the rhythmic, samba-influenced melody enhance the song's emotional depth. The invitation to 'se arrumar na minha confusão' (settle in my confusion) and 'querendo ser feliz' (wanting to be happy) encapsulates the universal quest for happiness despite life's inherent messiness. 'Feliz' is a beautiful reminder that joy can be found even in the midst of confusion and that human connection is a powerful antidote to loneliness and despair.
