A Cor

Natiruts' song 'A Cor' delves into the complexities of love, resilience, and the human spirit. The lyrics open with a sense of longing and the struggles of life, highlighting the internal battles that often hinder personal growth and happiness. The mention of 'a força que afugenta as idéias' (the force that drives away ideas) suggests an external or internal pressure that stifles creativity and progress. Despite these challenges, the song speaks to the courage that emerges from an unknown source, possibly divine ('vem do céu'), propelling individuals to continue their journey with the hope of returning to a place of love and acceptance.

The narrative then shifts to the uncertainties and mysteries of relationships. The lyrics explore the duality of love, where one moment it can seem eternal and the next, it can be fleeting. The lines 'Se ela te deixou e disse que nunca mais / Saiba que levou sentimentos imortais' (If she left you and said never again / Know that she took immortal feelings) juxtapose with 'Mas se ela te beijou e disse que vai ficar / Isso são mistérios não se pode explicar' (But if she kissed you and said she will stay / These are mysteries that cannot be explained). This contrast underscores the unpredictable nature of love and the deep emotional impact it has on individuals.

The song also touches on themes of faith and self-reflection. The woman in the song believes in the power of the stars and the promise of a return, despite the hardships she has faced. Her quest for perfection and forgiveness is symbolized by 'a cor daquela pétala de flor' (the color of that flower petal), representing purity, love, and the beauty found in small, delicate things. This imagery encapsulates the essence of the song, which is about finding strength and beauty in the face of adversity and the enduring power of love and forgiveness.
