As Coisas Tão Mais Lindas

Nando Reis' song 'As Coisas Tão Mais Lindas' is a poetic exploration of beauty and presence. The lyrics convey a deep sense of appreciation for the beauty in the world, which the narrator only fully recognizes through the presence of a significant other. The song opens with the narrator reflecting on the most beautiful things they have encountered, realizing that these things only revealed their true colors when seen through the lens of their beloved. This suggests that love has the power to enhance and illuminate the beauty in everyday life.

The song continues to weave a tapestry of natural imagery, from the sky and moonlight to the endless expanse of oceans and peninsulas. These elements symbolize the vastness and timelessness of the world, yet they are all made more beautiful by the presence of the loved one. The repetition of time frames—days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries, and millennia—emphasizes the enduring nature of this beauty and the lasting impact of the beloved's presence.

The chorus reinforces the central theme: 'As coisas lindas são mais lindas quando você está' (The beautiful things are more beautiful when you are here). This line encapsulates the idea that the presence of a loved one can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. The song's repetition of this sentiment underscores its importance and the profound effect that love and presence have on the narrator's perception of the world. Through 'As Coisas Tão Mais Lindas,' Nando Reis invites listeners to reflect on how love can enhance their own experiences and perceptions of beauty in the world around them.
