A Cor do Desejo

Ney Matogrosso's song "A Cor do Desejo" delves deep into the themes of longing, desire, and emotional connection. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a passionate relationship where physical and emotional needs intertwine. The opening lines, "A tua boca anda oca / Da minha língua / da minha língua," suggest a profound sense of emptiness and yearning. The repetition emphasizes the intensity of this longing, as the speaker's tongue feels deprived without the presence of their lover's mouth.

The song continues to explore the idea of exactness and precision in emotions and physical sensations. The lines "Exatos são os teus olhos que invadem / E me revelam teu coração" highlight the penetrating gaze of the lover, which reveals their true feelings. This metaphor of eyes as windows to the heart underscores the deep emotional connection between the two individuals. The use of the word "exato" (exact) suggests that these feelings and sensations are not random but are precise and deeply felt.

Furthermore, the lyrics touch upon the pain and beauty of desire. The phrases "Exata é a cor do teu deserto / A dor do teu deserto" and "Exata é a cor do teu desejo / A dor do teu desejo" juxtapose the vividness of desire with the inherent pain it brings. The desert metaphor evokes a sense of barrenness and isolation, yet it is also a place of intense beauty and color. This duality reflects the complex nature of desire, where pleasure and pain coexist. Ney Matogrosso's evocative performance and the poetic lyrics create a powerful exploration of human emotions, making "A Cor do Desejo" a poignant and relatable piece.
