Lombra is a fascinating and somewhat informal word in Portuguese, often referring to a state of being dazed, a 'haze', or a particular 'vibe' or mood, sometimes associated with altered states of mind.
In the context of "Mulheres Que Correm," the artist sings, "Filha de Lilith, eu aceito a minha lombra" (Daughter of Lilith, I accept my lombra). This line suggests embracing one's true, perhaps unconventional or intense, self and inner world, rather than conforming to external expectations. It's a powerful declaration of self-acceptance and defiance.
Have you ever felt like you have to be quiet and always agree with everyone? In "Mulheres Que Correm," Brazilian artist Bea Duarte sings about this exact feeling. The song starts by describing the unspoken rules society often sets for women: Never raise your voice, always remember to smile, and don't dare to disagree. The singer feels like she's losing herself, questioning if she even has a voice or an identity beyond what she has been taught to be. It's a powerful expression of feeling trapped and invisible.
But then, everything changes. She declares she's tired of just walking and is ready to run. The phrase "Mulheres que correm", which means "Women Who Run," becomes a powerful anthem. It’s a metaphor for breaking free from expectations and embracing your wild, authentic self. She decides to join her "pack" and run with the "wolves," accepting all parts of herself, even the imperfect ones. This song is a celebration of finding your voice, joining a community of strong women, and unleashing the powerful spirit within you.
