Sorte means "luck" in Portuguese. While it might seem like a common word, its usage in the song's title and chorus, "Que sorte a nossa" (What luck we have), elevates its significance.
It's not just about general good fortune, but specifically about the serendipitous alignment of two people falling in love. The song emphasizes that their connection isn't by chance, making "sorte" a key concept that encapsulates the romantic destiny and shared happiness the singers feel.
Have you ever felt that spark with someone, even before you've officially gotten together? Paula Mattos's "Que Sorte A Nossa" captures that exciting moment perfectly. The song tells the story of a modern romance where two people are clearly interested in each other. The singer knows the other person is thinking about them, reading their messages, and even liking their photos online. The feeling is mutual, and the big question hangs in the air: "E aí, o que é que a gente vai fazer?" (So, what are we going to do?).
The song's beautiful chorus celebrates the feeling of finding your special someone in a world full of people. The lyrics say, "Tantos sorrisos por aí, você querendo o meu / Tantos olhares me olhando e eu querendo o seu" (So many smiles out there, and you want mine / So many looks looking at me, and I want yours). It's a powerful feeling of being chosen and choosing someone back. The singer believes this connection isn't just a coincidence; it's fate. When love finally arrives, all they can say is, "Que sorte a nossa"—how lucky we are!
