Felicidade

Roupa Nova's song 'Felicidade' is a heartfelt ode to the pure and uncomplicated joy that love brings into one's life. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that transforms a desolate heart into a bustling city, symbolizing the profound impact that a significant other can have on one's emotional landscape. This transformation is described as 'veloz' (swift) and 'esperto' (clever), highlighting the quick and intelligent nature of this love, which is deeply rooted in mutual understanding and complicity.

The recurring theme of happiness is central to the song, as evidenced by the line 'A felicidade então nos sorriu' (Happiness then smiled at us). This suggests that love, when it strikes like a lightning bolt, brings with it an overwhelming sense of joy and fulfillment. The singer's desire to be with their loved one, whether 'longe, perto ao lado' (far, near, or beside), underscores the all-consuming nature of this affection. The repetition of 'Eu só penso em estar com você' (I only think about being with you) emphasizes the singular focus and dedication the singer has towards their partner.

The song also touches on the idea of love being 'descomplicado' (uncomplicated) and 'feroz' (fierce), suggesting that true love is straightforward and intense, free from the constraints of right and wrong. The imagery of the 'lua, na noite prata' (moon, in the silver night) adds a romantic and timeless quality to the song, evoking a sense of eternal love that transcends everyday worries. 'Felicidade' by Roupa Nova is a beautiful celebration of love's power to bring happiness and transform lives, capturing the essence of romantic devotion in its purest form.
