As Andorinhas (part. Eduardo Costa)

In the song "As Andorinhas (feat. Eduardo Costa)", Leonardo, along with Eduardo Costa, uses the metaphor of swallows to explore themes of love, longing, and the inevitable return to one's roots. The swallows, known for their migratory patterns, symbolize the cyclical nature of life and love. Just as swallows return to their nests, the narrator returns to a place of familiarity and comfort, seeking solace and love after a period of absence.

The lyrics poignantly describe the journey of the swallows, and by extension, the narrator's own journey. The swallows' return is not always triumphant; they often come back tired, wounded, and in pain. This mirrors the narrator's experience of leaving with dreams and aspirations, only to return disillusioned and without the happiness they sought. The repeated line, "Uma andorinha voando sozinha não faz verão" (A swallow flying alone does not make summer), underscores the idea that love and happiness are not solitary pursuits. True fulfillment comes from connection and companionship.

Leonardo's and Eduardo Costa's collaboration brings a rich, emotional depth to the song, blending their voices to convey the shared human experience of seeking and sometimes failing to find love. The song resonates with anyone who has ever left home in search of something greater, only to realize that the true value lies in the relationships and places they left behind. The imagery of the swallows serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of returning to one's roots and the enduring nature of love, even in the face of disappointment and hardship.
