Colori means "I colored" or "I painted". It's the past tense conjugation of the verb "colorir" (to color).
In the song, the artist sings about how small, intimate conversations transform into "poemas que eu colori" (poems that I colored). This word beautifully captures the act of adding personal meaning and vibrancy to these simple moments, making them unique and memorable, much like coloring a blank page.
“Poemas Que Colori” paints the roller-coaster feelings of loving someone who is full of contradictions. Mariana Nolasco describes a partner who mixes half-truths with harmless mischief, drifts in and out of her life, hurts her then returns with a disarming smile. Instead of breaking, she turns every confusing moment—late-night talks, silly jokes, gentle hugs—into vibrant “poems” that she colors with her own emotions.
The song celebrates the power of the heart to transform imperfections into art. Even when the relationship feels like a game of come-and-go, the singer chooses to focus on the tenderness hidden behind the chaos, proving that love can turn everyday chatter into lyrical beauty.
Mariana Nolasco was born in Campinas, Brazil, in 1998, and at 13 began posting acoustic covers, just her voice and a guitar, recorded in her bedroom in Mogi Guaçu. Her versions of classics by Elba Ramalho, Alceu Valença and Gilberto Gil made her name on YouTube, where her channel has passed 450 million views.
Fans paid for her self-titled debut album through crowdfunding, and in 2018 she sold out a tour across ten states. She was the only Brazilian singer on a 2020 remake of We Are the World, has recorded with Boyce Avenue and Vitor Kley, and has played Rock in Rio. Her album Quem É Ela? (2023) earned a Latin Grammy nomination for best engineered album.
