Dell'arte

Bea Duarte's song "Dell'arte" is a powerful declaration of identity and passion for art. The lyrics, sung in a mix of Italian and Portuguese, reflect a deep commitment to the artistic life, with the repeated phrase "Sono dell’arte" (I am of the art) emphasizing the artist's dedication. The song opens with an unapologetic tone, "Caro mio, Non mi scuso," which translates to "My dear, I do not apologize," setting the stage for a narrative of self-assuredness and defiance.

The lyrics delve into the duality of art as both a blessing and a curse. The artist describes their life as a "farsa" (farce), suggesting a performance that encompasses both beauty and tragedy. The mention of "nomes, vilanias e desgraças" (names, villainies, and disgraces) highlights the complex and often tumultuous journey of an artist. The line "Quanto azar seu me conhecer" (How unlucky you are to know me) adds a layer of irony, suggesting that the artist's presence is both captivating and challenging.

The chorus, with its fiery imagery, "Eu quero pegar fogo" (I want to catch fire), symbolizes a burning desire to fully embrace and express one's artistic identity. The artist invites the audience to join in this intense experience, declaring that "Ninguém vai sorrir sozinho" (No one will smile alone). This communal aspect of art, where both the artist and the audience are engulfed in the emotional intensity, underscores the transformative power of artistic expression. Bea Duarte's "Dell'arte" is a celebration of the artist's life, filled with passion, complexity, and an unyielding commitment to living for art.
