Mulher
Sidney Magal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que me deixa louco assim, mulher
Não sei, teus olhos castanhos, profundos, estranhos
Que mistério oculta... rão, mulher
Não sei dizer
Mulher, só sei que sem alma
Roubaste-me a calma e aos teus pés eu fico a implorar
O teu amor tem um gosto amargo e eu fico sempre a chorar nestador
The lyrics of Sidney Magal's song "Mulher" describe a sense of confusion and bewilderment in the face of an intense attraction to a woman. Magal describes her physical allure as a "magic" radiating from her body that leaves him feeling crazy. He is also captivated by the enigma of her deep, strange, brown eyes, which seem to hide a mystery. The woman's effect on him is so overwhelming that he loses his composure and begs for her love, even though it is described as having a bitter taste that leaves him perpetually weeping.
The lyrics of this song reveal a complex set of emotions and desires that reflect the complex nature of human attraction. On one hand, there is a sense of physical desire; the woman's body and eyes are described in vivid detail. On the other hand, there is a sense of confusion and even fear about the intensity of this attraction. Magal admits that he doesn't understand the "magic" of the woman's allure or the "mystery" behind her eyes, suggesting that he feels helpless in the face of his feelings. Despite this, he is willing to sacrifice his sense of calm and dignity in order to pursue her love, even though he knows it will ultimately leave him "weeping."
Overall, "Mulher" is a powerful expression of the profound, often contradictory emotions that underlie human attraction, desire, and love. The song's lyrics encourage listeners to reflect on their own experiences of attraction and the complex forces that drive us to seek out romantic connections with others.
