O Côncavo e o Convexo

Roberto Carlos, a legendary figure in Brazilian music, brings forth a poetic and intimate portrayal of love in his song 'O Côncavo e o Convexo.' The lyrics delve into the profound connection between two lovers, emphasizing the beauty and perfection found in their union. The song uses the metaphor of concave and convex shapes to illustrate how the lovers fit together seamlessly, creating a perfect harmony that transcends the physical and emotional realms.

The song begins by highlighting the extraordinary nature of their love, describing it as something that goes beyond the ordinary. The lyrics suggest that their love is not just about physical attraction but also about a deep emotional and spiritual connection. The phrase 'Nosso amor é demais e quando amor se faz, tudo é bem mais bonito' (Our love is too much, and when love is made, everything is much more beautiful) sets the tone for the rest of the song, emphasizing the transformative power of their love.

As the song progresses, Roberto Carlos delves deeper into the physical aspect of their relationship, describing how their bodies fit together perfectly. The lines 'Nossas curvas se acham, nossas formas se encaixam, na medida perfeita' (Our curves find each other, our forms fit together, in the perfect measure) beautifully capture the essence of their physical compatibility. This metaphor of concave and convex shapes not only highlights their physical connection but also symbolizes the emotional and spiritual alignment they share.

The song concludes by reiterating the idea that their love is a perfect blend of passion and peace. The repeated lines 'Esse amor é pra nós a loucura que traz, esse sonho de paz e é bonito demais' (This love is for us the madness that brings, this dream of peace, and it is too beautiful) encapsulate the dual nature of their relationship, where intense passion coexists with a serene sense of fulfillment. 'O Côncavo e o Convexo' is a celebration of love in its most complete form, where two individuals come together to create something truly beautiful and harmonious.
