Song Meaning of “Matemática Do Amor” by Leo Estakazero
‘Matemática Do Amor’ is a song by Brazilian singer/songwriter Leo Estakazero that is all about the calculations of love. The song tells a story of two lovers who have been dreaming of a future together, but who have become disillusioned with their relationship. Estakazero uses mathematics as a metaphor for the way in which they have been attempting to calculate the odds of success in their relationship.
The lyrics speak to the idea that, in an age where we so often rely on numbers and equation-based calculations to reach conclusions, we often forget the human factor when it comes to love. We can’t use math to determine our decisions when it comes to relationships and the emotions involved. The song speaks of the need to rely on our heart, not mathematics, when it comes to decision-making in love, and to learn to trust ourselves and the innate feelings we experience in relationships.
The chorus reflects this idea best, singing “A matemática do amor é tão forte, evita de juntar números no coração/ Confia só no seu sentimento, a resposta vai chegar com certeza” — “The mathematics of love is so strong, avoid putting numbers into your heart/ Trust in your own feeling, the answer will definitely arrive.” Through its catchy rhythms and its messages about the power of trusting our own intuition, Estakazero’s ‘Matemática Do Amor’ serves as a reminder to all of us that when it comes to love, relying on mathematics alone can lead us astray.
