The Tranquil Longing in 'Turquesa' by Zena
In 'Turquesa,' Zena crafts a vivid and emotional landscape that explores themes of love, longing, and tranquility. The song opens with the artist reminiscing about a loved one's smile and the color of their dress, which is described as 'almost blue' and capable of invading the singer's habitat. This imagery sets the tone for a deeply personal and intimate narrative, where the color blue, or 'turquesa,' symbolizes calmness and emotional depth.
The recurring line 'Te quero bem, te quero bem, te quero já' (I want you well, I want you well, I want you now) underscores the urgency and intensity of the singer's feelings. The use of 'zen' and 'the color of the sky' as metaphors for calmness highlights the singer's need for emotional balance, especially in the absence of the loved one. The song delves into the pain of separation, with the singer expressing how the absence of their beloved devastates them.
Zena also touches on the uniqueness of the loved one, emphasizing that their way of being is incomparable to anyone else. This uniqueness is something the singer cherishes and wants to nurture, as indicated by the lines 'Parece que carece do carinho de alguém, Eu quero te ensinar meu bem' (It seems you lack someone's affection, I want to teach you, my dear). The song beautifully captures the essence of a love that is both calming and consuming, making 'Turquesa' a poignant ode to the complexities of romantic relationships.
