Mudança

Marina Aquino's song 'Mudança' is a heartfelt ode to self-care and the transformative power of personal change. The lyrics begin with a declaration of a newfound desire to take care of oneself, emphasizing the importance of self-love and self-acceptance. The act of 'arrumar minha gaveta' (organizing my drawer) and 'botar tinta na caneta do meu coração' (putting ink in the pen of my heart) are metaphors for introspection and emotional rejuvenation. These lines suggest that by taking the time to understand and nurture oneself, one can counteract the negative voices of the world.

The chorus reinforces the idea that personal change has a ripple effect on the world around us. 'Quando eu mudo o mundo muda' (When I change, the world changes) highlights the interconnectedness of individual actions and broader societal shifts. The imagery of dancing and the comparison to a child’s constant change underscore the fluid and dynamic nature of life. The repetition of 'o que não muda nesse mundo é somente a mudança' (the only thing that doesn’t change in this world is change itself) serves as a reminder that change is the only constant, encouraging listeners to embrace it rather than resist it.

The song also touches on the importance of small, joyful actions like reading a book or picking flowers, which can bring happiness and a sense of purpose. These simple pleasures are portrayed as acts of self-care that can animate and invigorate one's spirit. By focusing on these positive actions, the song suggests that we can find beauty and meaning in everyday life, even when faced with challenges. 'Mudança' is a beautiful reminder that self-love and personal growth are essential for creating a better world, both for ourselves and for those around us.
