The Enduring Essence of Love in 'Amor Que Fica'

Alceu Valença's song 'Amor Que Fica' delves into the enduring nature of love and the memories that linger long after the moments have passed. The repetition of phrases like 'fica o dito e o não dito' (what is said and unsaid remains) and 'fica o feito e o desfeito' (what is done and undone remains) emphasizes the permanence of certain aspects of relationships. These lines suggest that both the spoken and unspoken, the actions and their consequences, leave a lasting imprint on our lives.

The imagery in the song is vivid and evocative. Valença paints a picture of everyday life with lines like 'fica a chama, fica a vela' (the flame remains, the candle remains) and 'a toalha na janela' (the towel on the window). These details create a sense of intimacy and familiarity, highlighting the small yet significant moments that define a relationship. The mention of 'linda, caminhavas nua' (beautiful, you walked naked) adds a layer of vulnerability and raw emotion, suggesting a deep connection between the lovers.

The chorus, 'Amor que fica é amor que fica' (love that remains is love that remains), reinforces the central theme of the song. It speaks to the idea that true love endures despite the passage of time and the changes that life brings. The repetition of this line throughout the song serves as a reminder that love, in its truest form, is everlasting. Valença's poetic lyrics and soothing melody combine to create a poignant reflection on the nature of love and the memories that stay with us.
