Coração Noturno

Raul Seixas' song 'Coração Noturno' is a poetic exploration of the transition from night to day, capturing the essence of dawn and the emotional journey it entails. The repeated phrase 'Amanhece, amanhece, amanhece' sets the tone, emphasizing the gradual arrival of morning. This repetition, coupled with the imagery of light spreading and bringing joy, creates a sense of anticipation and renewal. The dawn is not just a physical phenomenon but a metaphor for hope and new beginnings, a fresh start filled with poetic beauty.

The song contrasts the cold, mechanical nature of time ('A frieza do relógio') with the warmth and irrationality of the human heart ('Coração que bate 4 por 4'). This juxtaposition highlights the conflict between the structured, logical world and the spontaneous, emotional human experience. Seixas' heart beats to its own rhythm, defying logic and reason, embodying a sense of freedom and individuality. The greeting to the sun and the day ('Bom dia Sol, Bom dia, dia') is a celebration of life and the simple joys it brings.

Seixas also delves into the introspective and absurd aspects of existence. The lines 'Eu e o coração, Companheiros de absurdos no noturno' suggest a companionship with his own heart through the absurdities of life, especially during the night. The night, often associated with solitude and introspection, becomes a time for Seixas to connect deeply with his emotions and thoughts. The repeated greetings to the sun signify a triumphant embrace of the new day, a ritualistic acknowledgment of the continuity of life despite its absurdities. This song is a beautiful blend of existential musings and a celebration of the cyclical nature of life, wrapped in Seixas' unique poetic style.
