Um Girassol da Cor do Seu Cabelo
Lô Borges Lyrics

The lyrics of Lô Borges's song "Um Girassol Da Cor Do Seu Cabelo" speak of the beauty and power of nature, as well as the intense emotions that love can bring. The wind, the sun, the sea, and the stars are all evoked as symbols of the vastness and wonder of the world we inhabit. The "terra azul da cor do seu vestido" (blue earth the color of your dress) suggests a connection between the natural world and the human, as if they are intertwined and inseparable. The repetition of the phrase "vento solar e estrelas do mar" (solar wind and sea stars) creates a sense of rhythm that mimics the movement of the natural elements.

The chorus of the song expresses a desire to be with the loved one, to spend just one more day together. The singer says that his words are just poetry, but he still needs her by his side. The line "ainda gosto de dançar" (I still like to dance) adds a playful touch, as if the singer is trying to convince his partner to take a chance on him again. He asks "como vai você?" (how are you?) and wonders if it's too late to start over.

The final part of the song repeats the question "o meu pensamento tem a cor de seu vestido ou um girassol que tem a cor do seu cabelo?" (does my thought have the color of your dress or a sunflower that has the color of your hair?) as if the singer is trying to understand the connection between his inner world and the outer reality. The image of the sunflower, which traditionally symbolizes loyalty, suggests that the singer is willing to be faithful and devoted to his loved one, no matter what.
