Como Vai Você

Adair Cardoso's song 'Como Vai Você' is a poignant exploration of longing and emotional connection. The lyrics revolve around the narrator's deep need to know about the life of someone who has profoundly impacted them. This person has become the center of the narrator's world, to the extent that their own sense of self is intertwined with the other. The repeated question, 'Como vai você?' (How are you?), underscores the narrator's desperation for any information about this person, highlighting a sense of emotional dependency and yearning.

The song delves into themes of love and loss, with the narrator expressing how this person has 'modified' their life and brought a forgotten sense of peace. The lyrics suggest a deep emotional bond that has left the narrator in a state of vulnerability. The lines 'Nem sei se gosto mais de mim ou de você' (I don't even know if I like myself or you more) reveal a profound internal conflict, where the narrator's identity and happiness are heavily reliant on the presence of the other person.

The chorus, with its plea for the person to come back, emphasizes the narrator's fear of time and distance eroding their connection. The urgency in 'Não deixe tanta vida pra depois' (Don't leave so much life for later) speaks to the fleeting nature of time and the importance of seizing the moment. The song captures the essence of a love that is both beautiful and painful, marked by a deep desire for reunion and the fear of permanent separation. Adair Cardoso's emotive delivery and the heartfelt lyrics make 'Como Vai Você' a touching ode to love's complexities and the human need for connection.
