Dois Corações

The song 'Dois Corações' by Melim is a tender portrayal of love and the deep connection that forms between two people. The lyrics begin with a reflection on individuality and the sense of incompleteness that one might feel when alone. The narrator speaks of their own existence as 'nothing much' and describes a longing for connection, as indicated by following the 'signals' of the other person.

As the song progresses, it becomes clear that this is a love story, celebrating the moment when two individuals realize they are meant for each other. The phrase 'Vi que era amor' ('I saw it was love') marks the turning point where the narrator finds themselves in the other person and loses themselves in the process. This is a common metaphor for the merging of souls in a romantic relationship, suggesting a profound bond that transcends individuality.

The chorus of the song uses a series of metaphors to describe the relationship, likening the couple to various harmonious pairs such as 'verse and poetry' and 'piano and melody.' These images evoke a sense of perfect complementarity, where each element enhances the other. The repeated line 'De dois corações um só se fez' ('From two hearts, one was made') encapsulates the essence of the song, conveying the idea that in love, two people can become so intertwined that they function as a single, more powerful entity.
