Outono

Rosa Passos' song 'Outono' captures the transient beauty and melancholic essence of autumn. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the season, starting with the 'Luz do sol no chão molhado' (sunlight on the wet ground) and 'acerolas temporãs' (early acerolas), which evoke the fleeting moments of autumn. The imagery of 'som de vento no telhado' (sound of wind on the roof) and 'cores mortas nas manhãs' (dead colors in the mornings) further emphasizes the sense of change and the passage of time, as the vibrant hues of summer give way to the muted tones of fall.

The second stanza delves deeper into the theme of impermanence. 'Fogem nuvens, passa o rio' (clouds flee, the river flows) and 'vão-se as cores do verão' (the colors of summer go away) highlight the inevitable progression of time. The line 'passa um tudo um calafrio que me aperta o coração' (a chill passes that tightens my heart) conveys a sense of nostalgia and longing, as the singer reflects on the fleeting nature of life and the emotions that come with it.

In the final stanza, the lyrics take on a more philosophical tone. 'Tudo um dia vai-se embora' (everything one day goes away) and 'Tudo existe de passagem' (everything exists in passing) underscore the transient nature of existence. The singer acknowledges their place in this journey with 'Mais que nunca sinto agora que sou parte da viagem' (more than ever I feel now that I am part of the journey). This acceptance of life's impermanence is both poignant and liberating, as it encourages the listener to embrace the present moment and find beauty in the ephemeral.
