Ouro (feat. Urias)
Pabllo Vittar
Shining Like Gold: A Journey of Resilience and Triumph
Pabllo Vittar's song "Ouro" featuring Urias is a powerful anthem of resilience, self-empowerment, and triumph. The lyrics reflect the struggles and challenges faced by the artists on their journey to success. Pabllo Vittar, a prominent Brazilian drag queen and singer, uses her platform to celebrate individuality and perseverance. The song opens with a reflection on the hardships endured, with lines like "Só eu sei o que eu passei" (Only I know what I went through) and "Dias frios, eu dancei" (Cold days, I danced), highlighting the personal battles and the determination to keep moving forward despite adversity.
The recurring motif of gold in the chorus, "Oh-u ouro" (Oh, gold), symbolizes the value and brilliance of their achievements. Gold, often associated with wealth and success, serves as a metaphor for the inner strength and resilience that shine through despite difficult times. The lyrics encourage listeners to embrace their own worth and to shine brightly, just like gold. The song also emphasizes the importance of positivity and not speaking ill of others, as seen in the lines "Se tu brilha, se tu brilha, brilha assim / Não fale mal dos outros, não fale mal de mim" (If you shine, if you shine, shine like this / Don't speak ill of others, don't speak ill of me).
The collaboration with Urias adds another layer of empowerment and celebration of life. Urias, a fellow Brazilian artist and advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, brings her own experiences and energy to the song. Together, they create a vibrant and uplifting track that encourages self-expression and living life to the fullest. The repeated lines "Brilhando mais que estrela, iluminar / Com o coração e a cabeça, iluminar" (Shining brighter than a star, illuminate / With the heart and the mind, illuminate) reinforce the message of inner light and the power of combining emotional and intellectual strength to overcome obstacles and achieve greatness.
