Azul
Grupo Vocal Coro e Osso Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Se vem de Deus
Do céu ficar azul
Ou virá
Dos olhos teus
Essa cor
Que azuleja o dia
E o céu perder o azul
Entre o mar e o entardecer
Alga marinha, vá na maresia
Buscar ali um cheiro de azul
Essa cor não sai de mim
Bate e finca pé
A sangue de rei
Até o sol nascer amarelinho
Queimando mansinho
Cedinho, cedinho (cedinho)
Corre e vá dizer
Pro meu benzinho
Um dizer assim
O amor é azulzinho
Até o sol nascer amarelinho
Queimando mansinho
Cedinho, cedinho cedinho
Corre e vá dizer
Pro meu benzinho
Um dizer assim
O amor é azulzinho
The lyrics to Grupo Vocal Coro e Osso's song Azul evoke a sense of wonder and beauty, as the singer muses on the origin of the color blue. The first verse is a reflection on whether the blue sky is created by God or whether it comes from the eyes of a loved one, both possibilities adding to the mystery and magic of the color. The second verse describes a potential loss of the blue sky at night, but highlights the power of nature and the determination to find a way to keep the color alive, as symbolized by the seaweed searching for the scent of blue. The chorus emphasizes the importance of the color to the singer, as it is "stuck" in them and unshakeable, like the blood of kings. Finally, the last verse returns to the gentle image of the sunrise, burning yellow and eventually revealing the blue sky once again, and ends with a message to the singer's loved one: love is blue.
The song Azul is full of rich imagery and poetic language, and it captures the essence of longing and beauty in a unique way. The repeated emphasis on the color blue and its significance to the singer builds a sense of wonder and magic, as if the color is something to be cherished and protected. The theme of nature and its power is also present, as seen through the seaweed seeking out the scent of blue and the gentle sunrise. Ultimately, the song is a love letter, communicating a profound sense of devotion and deep emotional connection.
