Corações a mil
Marina Lima Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dez corações de uma vez
Pra eu poder me apaixonar
Dez vezes a cada dia
Setenta a cada semana
Trezentas a cada mês
Isso sem considerar
A provável rebeldia
Muitas vezes num só dia
Ou todos eles de uma vez
Todos dez desatarem a registrar
Toda gente fina
Toda perna grossa
Todo gato
Toda gata
Toda coisa linda
Que passar
Meus dez mil corações a mil
Nem todo Brasil vai dar
The lyrics to Marina Lima's song Corações a mil discuss the singer's desire for love and affection. The singer desires to have ten hearts all at once so that they can fall in love ten times each day, seventy times each week, and three hundred times each month. However, this desire does not take into account the possible rebellion of one of these hearts falling for someone else, potentially ruining the whole plan. The singer desires to love everyone who passes them by, noting beauty in all forms, including "gente fina," "perna grossa" (thick legs), "gato" (handsome man), "gata" (beautiful woman), and "coisa linda" (beautiful thing).
The lyrics suggest that the singer feels they need ten hearts to satisfy their desire for love and affection, however unrealistic it may be. The use of numbers and calculations adds a sense of certainty and quantifiability to an otherwise emotional topic. Despite the singer's desire to love everyone, the final line of the song suggests that their love cannot be contained to just Brazil, implying that it is seemingly impossible to love everyone they desire.
