Casal Raiz

In 'Casal Raiz,' Xand Avião paints a vivid picture of what he considers a genuine, down-to-earth relationship. The song contrasts the 'casal raiz' (root couple) with the 'casal Nutella' (Nutella couple), using these terms to highlight the differences between authentic, enduring love and superficial, modern relationships. The 'casal raiz' is characterized by mutual support, understanding, and a willingness to share both the good and the bad times. This couple doesn't shy away from financial struggles or everyday messes; instead, they face them together, embodying a partnership that is both practical and deeply emotional.

The lyrics emphasize the importance of partnership and shared responsibilities. Lines like 'Faltou dinheiro aqui, cê tem aí, amor?' (If money is missing here, do you have it, love?) and 'Amar é dividir, não é vergonha, não' (Loving is sharing, it's not shameful) underscore the idea that true love involves sharing everything, including financial burdens. This mutual support extends to everyday activities, such as drinking cachaça together and not complaining about clothes left on the floor. These small, relatable moments build a picture of a relationship grounded in reality and mutual respect.

Xand Avião also touches on the resilience of a 'casal raiz.' Unlike the 'casal Nutella,' who might block each other on social media and stop following each other after a fight, the 'casal raiz' understands that arguments are a natural part of any relationship. They fight, they curse, but they always come back to each other. This resilience and commitment to working through problems together is what sets the 'casal raiz' apart. The song celebrates this enduring love, suggesting that true relationships are built on a foundation of mutual respect, shared experiences, and an unwavering commitment to each other, regardless of what others might say or think.
