Frevo Mulher

Amelinha's 'Frevo Mulher' is a captivating song that intertwines the vibrant energy of frevo music with poetic and enigmatic lyrics. The song opens with a reflection on faith and admiration, as the singer contemplates how many people are drawn to a particular woman. This woman seems to embody different seasons, symbolizing the various phases and emotions of life. The imagery of 'outonos caindo secos no solo da minha mão' (autumns falling dry on the soil of my hand) evokes a sense of time passing and the inevitable changes that come with it.

The lyrics also delve into themes of solitude and fear, with references to 'a folha do não me toque' (the leaf of the touch-me-not) and 'o medo da solidão' (the fear of loneliness). These elements suggest a delicate balance between vulnerability and resilience. The mention of 'veneno, meu companheiro' (poison, my companion) adds a layer of complexity, hinting at the bittersweet nature of love and companionship. The 'cantador' (singer) channels these emotions, releasing them into the 'primeiro açude do meu amor' (the first reservoir of my love), symbolizing a deep well of feelings.

The recurring chorus, 'É quando o tempo sacode a cabeleira, a trança toda vermelha, um olho cego vagueia, procurando por um' (It's when time shakes its hair, the whole braid red, a blind eye wanders, searching for one), is a powerful metaphor for the passage of time and the search for meaning or connection. The vivid imagery of red braids and a wandering blind eye suggests a sense of urgency and longing. This chorus encapsulates the essence of the song, blending the rhythmic intensity of frevo with a profound exploration of human emotions and experiences.
