Song Meaning of “Olhos Coloridos – Ao Vivo” by Sandra De Sá
“Olhos Coloridos” (‘Colored Eyes’), sung by the legendary Sandra De Sá, is a gentle Brazilian ballad with a romantic outlook. With an intimate performance of a beloved classic, the song musically articulates an affirmation of eternal love by a couple, symbolized by “colored eyes”.
The song speaks of the empowering and healing nature of true love, capable of transcending the everyday worries and struggles of life. As Sandra De Sá intones “there’s no fear when I’m together with you,” the couple’s bond is portrayed as a refuge away from life’s tribulations. This theme recurs throughout the song in such phrases as “in our shelter there’s no need to be afraid, we don’t need a reason to be together.” By illustrating a couple unconcerned with reason or fear, “Olhos Coloridos” beautifully captures the lingering magical effect of genuine love.
The hypnotic and evocative music perfectly conveys these themes, as if the duo are suspended in a suspended dream-like state. Sandra De Sá’s delicate vocals lift and transport the listener to a realm of incomparable love and enchantment. With strong emphasis on her acoustic guitar and liltingly, evocative lyrics, it’s clear that this is a love song to last the ages.
