Loucos (part. Héber Marques)

The song 'Loucos' by Matias Damasio, featuring Héber Marques, is a celebration of love that defies convention and embraces the madness that comes with deep affection. The lyrics speak to the overwhelming emotions that love can evoke, emotions so powerful that they cannot be adequately captured by words, as suggested by the reference to the poet Camões. The song suggests that their love is so profound that it garners the attention of celestial beings and even God, who smiles upon them. The imagery of angels applauding and clouds forming their image in the sky adds a divine, ethereal quality to their love, elevating it beyond the mundane.

The chorus repeatedly emphasizes how the world perceives their love as madness. The lovers' actions, such as speaking to themselves in the street, counting stars, and tattooing each other's images on their hearts, are seen as irrational by societal standards. However, the song embraces these acts as expressions of their unique and boundless love. The repetition of 'nos chamam loucos' (they call us crazy) serves as a proud declaration that they are unfazed by the world's judgment. The song suggests that true love is worth any eccentricity and that the lovers find joy and fulfillment in their so-called madness.

The song also touches on the theme of public recognition and validation of their love. The mention of snow falling in all seasons and songs being dedicated to them on the radio indicates that their love is not only acknowledged but celebrated by others. This public celebration contrasts with the earlier notion of being called crazy, showing that their love ultimately transcends societal norms and becomes an example of pure happiness, akin to paradise. The song 'Loucos' is a testament to the power of love to transform perceptions and to the beauty of embracing love in all its forms, even if it means being labeled as 'crazy' by the world.
