1996

Natiruts' song '1996' is a poetic exploration of love, connection, and the timeless nature of deep emotional bonds. The lyrics convey a sense of wonder and appreciation for a significant other, capturing the essence of a relationship that feels both magical and destined. The opening lines, 'Sem entender, nem explicar / Tudo aquilo que vem de você,' suggest an inexplicable and profound connection that transcends rational understanding. This sets the tone for a song that delves into the mystical and almost spiritual aspects of love.

The imagery of 'A pérola que a vida trouxe pra mim' (the pearl that life brought to me) and 'Eu pego o pedacinho do céu / Pra colocar minha estrela linda' (I take a piece of the sky / To place my beautiful star) evokes a sense of preciousness and celestial beauty. These metaphors highlight the value and rarity of the relationship, likening it to treasures and heavenly bodies. The idea of stopping time, 'Se o tempo tiver algum jeito / Que a gente possa parar,' reflects a desire to savor and prolong these moments of connection, emphasizing the timeless quality of their bond.

The chorus, 'Finalmente poderei te encontrar / Felizmente estarei com você aqui,' expresses a longing for reunion and the joy of being together. The lines 'E você nem sabia que podia gostar assim / E você nem sabia que o mundo tinha fim' suggest a newfound depth of feeling and a realization of the finite nature of life, which makes the moments shared even more precious. Natiruts, known for their reggae-influenced sound and introspective lyrics, encapsulate the beauty of love and the importance of cherishing every moment with those we hold dear.
