Símbolo Sexual

Roberto Carlos, a legendary figure in Brazilian music, explores the theme of idealized beauty and sensuality in his song 'Símbolo Sexual.' The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a woman who embodies the quintessential traits of attractiveness and allure, often seen in media representations. The song opens with a casual acknowledgment of the omnipresence of beautiful women in magazines and on television, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of the protagonist's unique appeal.

The song delves into the specifics of what makes this woman so captivating. Her style, described as a mix of 'pop' and 'punk rock,' suggests a modern, edgy aesthetic that is both trendy and eye-catching. This is not just about physical appearance; it's about the way she carries herself—her 'provocative and sensual' demeanor that commands attention. The lyrics emphasize that she knows exactly what she's doing to attract the singer's gaze, making her the epitome of the 'ideal woman.'

As the song progresses, the focus shifts to the intimate moments between the singer and this woman. The summer setting, with its emphasis on bronzed skin and revealing clothing, adds to the sensual atmosphere. The singer's admiration for her is palpable, as he describes how her actions—whether it's a simple embrace or a kiss—evoke intense feelings of pleasure and desire. The repeated refrain of 'Sex - Sex - Sex - Sexual' underscores the song's central theme: the powerful, almost magnetic allure of this woman who is, in every sense, his 'símbolo sexual.'
