Zero a Dez

Melim's song 'Zero a Dez' is a heartfelt ode to an all-encompassing love that transcends ordinary scales of measurement. The lyrics open with a powerful declaration: 'Numa escala zero a dez, eu te dou cem,' which translates to 'On a scale of zero to ten, I give you a hundred.' This hyperbolic expression sets the tone for the song, emphasizing that the love the singer feels is beyond conventional limits. The sentiment that 'a hundred seems too little for you' further underscores the depth and intensity of this affection, suggesting that no numerical value could ever truly encapsulate the magnitude of their feelings.

The song continues to paint a vivid picture of romantic bliss, inviting the listener to 'see the flowers' and 'color our garden of love.' These lines evoke a sense of idyllic, almost utopian love, where the couple's bond is so strong that it transforms their surroundings into a paradise. The imagery of the sky mixing colors as they love until the sun sets adds a poetic layer, symbolizing the passage of time and the enduring nature of their relationship. The recurring refrain, 'É você, só você, que sabe me fazer feliz,' meaning 'It's you, only you, who knows how to make me happy,' reinforces the idea that this love is unique and irreplaceable.

The repetition of the phrase 'my desire is to desire you' highlights the mutual and continuous nature of their affection. It's not just about being in love but about the ongoing act of desiring and cherishing each other. This line suggests a dynamic and evolving relationship, where the desire for one another is a constant, driving force. Melim, known for their harmonious vocals and uplifting melodies, perfectly encapsulates the essence of a love that is both profound and joyful, making 'Zero a Dez' a beautiful celebration of romantic devotion.
