A Sweet Escape: The Chocolate Wonderland of Trem da Alegria
The song 'É De Chocolate' by Trem da Alegria transports listeners to a whimsical, dreamlike world where everything is made of chocolate. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a fantastical place that lies 'behind the rainbow' and 'beyond the horizon,' suggesting a realm of endless possibilities and childlike wonder. This enchanted world is not just a figment of imagination but a place where dreams come true, and the singer invites the listener to join them on this magical journey at dawn.
The recurring theme of chocolate serves as a metaphor for love and happiness. The line 'Vou te mostrar que é de chocolate' (I'll show you that it's made of chocolate) implies that love, like chocolate, is sweet, delightful, and something to be savored. The repetition of 'choco, choco, chocolate' mimics the rhythm of a heartbeat, reinforcing the idea that love and joy are at the core of this fantastical world. The imagery of a house made of cookies and ice cream, where the listener is awaited every evening, adds to the sense of warmth and comfort that this magical place offers.
The song also carries a subtle message about the fragility of happiness. The caution to 'take care not to melt' serves as a gentle reminder that while this world of chocolate and sweets is enchanting, it is also delicate and requires care. This adds a layer of depth to the otherwise lighthearted and playful lyrics, making 'É De Chocolate' a song that resonates with both children and adults alike. Trem da Alegria, known for their joyful and catchy tunes, successfully creates a musical escape that is both nostalgic and heartwarming.
