Destined Love: The Story of 'Estava Escrito'
In 'Estava Escrito,' Paulo Márcio delves into the concept of predestined love, suggesting that some relationships are written in the stars long before the individuals involved even meet. The song opens with the assertion that the meeting between the two lovers was not a mere coincidence. Instead, their love was preordained, inscribed in the 'book of knowledge' even before their births. This idea of fate and destiny is a central theme, emphasizing that their union was meant to be.
The lyrics further explore the notion of unconscious longing and searching. The lines 'Você, sem querer, por mim esperava / E eu, sem saber, por você procurava' translate to 'You, without wanting, were waiting for me / And I, without knowing, was looking for you.' This beautifully captures the idea that both individuals were unknowingly preparing for each other, guided by an unseen force. The concept of destiny knowing what will happen reinforces the belief that their love story was always meant to unfold in this particular way.
Paulo Márcio's song also touches on the depth and authenticity of their love. He contrasts their relationship with a 'simple case or chance,' asserting that their love is genuine and profound. The repeated lines 'Você nasceu pra mim, eu pra você' ('You were born for me, I for you') serve as a powerful affirmation of their destined connection. This song resonates with anyone who believes in the magic of fate and the idea that some loves are simply meant to be, no matter the circumstances.
