Ó Cabelo, Cabelo Meu (Natura)

The song 'Ó Cabelo, Cabelo Meu (Natura)' by Temas de TV is a heartfelt ode to the significance of hair in expressing one's identity. The lyrics celebrate the beauty, power, and individuality that hair represents. By describing hair as 'tão belo, tão poderoso, tão eu' (so beautiful, so powerful, so me), the song emphasizes how hair is an integral part of one's self-image and personal expression. The various descriptions of hair—'crespo, liso, ondulado, pichaim' (curly, straight, wavy, kinky)—highlight the diversity and uniqueness of each person's hair, reflecting the diversity of human identity itself.

The song also touches on the versatility of hair, noting how it can be 'solto, preso, molhado, cheiroso, brilhante e macio' (loose, tied, wet, fragrant, shiny, and soft). This versatility mirrors the multifaceted nature of human beings, capable of adapting and changing while still remaining true to themselves. The lyrics suggest that hair is not just a physical attribute but a 'retrato fiel de quem sou eu' (faithful portrait of who I am), reinforcing the idea that hair is a powerful symbol of personal identity and self-expression.

Furthermore, the song acknowledges the personal choices involved in hair care and styling, whether it is 'comprido como deve ser' (long as it should be) or 'curto se ficar melhor' (short if it looks better). The freedom to choose the color and style of one's hair—'da cor que nasceu, da cor que eu quis' (the color it was born with, the color I wanted)—is celebrated as an expression of individuality and autonomy. The repeated affirmation 'Oh cabelo, cabelo meu, se você não fosse meu, eu não seria tão... eu' (Oh hair, my hair, if you weren't mine, I wouldn't be so... me) encapsulates the deep connection between hair and self-identity, making it clear that hair is much more than just a physical feature; it is a vital part of who we are.
