Mulher
Projota
A Tender Ode to Womanhood and Love
Projota's song "Mulher" is a heartfelt tribute to the complexities and beauty of womanhood, as well as the deep emotional connections in romantic relationships. The lyrics tell the story of a woman who, overwhelmed by her problems, seeks solace in the arms of her lover. She leaves her responsibilities behind, symbolized by ignoring her boss, and finds comfort in the embrace of someone who truly understands her. This act of seeking refuge highlights the importance of emotional support and the sanctuary that love can provide in times of distress.
The chorus, "Mulher, cê sabe o que eu vou te dizer / O seu problema, a gente tem que resolver / Mas deixa pra amanhã, deixa pra amanhã / Porque hoje eu vou te fazer mulher," emphasizes the idea of prioritizing emotional connection and intimacy over immediate problem-solving. The repetition of "deixa pra amanhã" (leave it for tomorrow) suggests that sometimes, the best way to cope with life's challenges is to take a moment to reconnect with loved ones and find strength in their presence. This sentiment is further reinforced by the tender and caring actions described throughout the song, such as the woman getting up early to put on makeup just to please her partner.
Projota also delves into the duality of women, acknowledging both their strengths and vulnerabilities. He describes his partner as a "poço de qualidade e defeito" (a well of qualities and flaws), recognizing that it is these very imperfections that make her human and lovable. The song celebrates the emotional depth and resilience of women, while also acknowledging the societal pressures they face. The closing lines, "Mulheres são o que são / E não o que nós queremos que elas sejam," serve as a powerful reminder that women should be appreciated for who they are, rather than being molded to fit someone else's expectations.
