Lua de Mel

The song "Lua de Mel" by Lulu Santos, a renowned Brazilian musician known for his contributions to the Brazilian pop rock scene, encapsulates the euphoric state of being deeply in love, often compared to the honeymoon phase where everything feels perfect and blissful. The lyrics paint a picture of an idyllic escape, where the protagonist is metaphorically 'living in a piece of heaven,' a state of pure joy and indulgence, much to the delight of the proverbial devil, who represents the indulgence in earthly pleasures.

The song's verses describe a carefree existence, where every pleasure is allowed and every sin is sweet. The imagery of swimming in the sea and the vastness of a sandbank evoke a sense of freedom and the boundless nature of love. As the day fades, the couple's song lingers, symbolizing the enduring nature of their love and happiness. The repeated chorus reinforces the theme of being in a honeymoon phase, a time when life's troubles seem distant and the joy of love takes center stage.

Lulu Santos also touches on the contrast between this dreamlike state and the harsh realities of life. He acknowledges the pain of not always being able to live as one desires, but finds solace in the power of song. Singing becomes an act of defiance and a way to preserve the joyous moments, like a honeymoon, amidst life's challenges. The song is a celebration of love's ability to transport us to a heavenly place, if only for a fleeting moment.
