Mudanças

Vanusa's song 'Mudanças' is a powerful anthem of self-transformation and empowerment. The lyrics convey a deep desire for personal change, starting with a metaphorical cleaning of one's inner self. The act of 'vasculhar minhas gavetas' (searching through my drawers) and 'jogar fora sentimentos e ressentimentos tolos' (throwing away foolish feelings and resentments) symbolizes a thorough introspection and the shedding of emotional baggage. This cleansing process is not just about physical spaces but also about mental and emotional decluttering, aiming to remove 'angústias da minha mente' (anguish from my mind).

The song emphasizes the transition from girlhood to womanhood, highlighting the courage needed to embrace one's true self without fear. Vanusa sings about the importance of living authentically, 'pra ser o que sou sem medo' (to be what I am without fear), and the liberation that comes from dancing and singing freely. This liberation is also about rejecting societal pressures and expectations, as seen in the lines 'parar de dizer não tenho tempo pra vida' (stop saying I don't have time for life) and 'me libertar' (free myself).

'Mudanças' also delves into the complexities of being a woman, acknowledging the dualities and contradictions that come with it. Vanusa describes herself as 'suave como a gaivota e ferina como a leoa' (gentle as a seagull and fierce as a lioness), capturing the multifaceted nature of femininity. The song celebrates the strength and resilience of women, despite being labeled as the 'forte sexo fraco' (strong weak sex). Ultimately, 'Mudanças' is a call to embrace change, to let go of past grievances, and to live a life true to oneself, balancing dreams and reality, submission and independence.
