N (part. Nando Reis)

The song 'N' by ANAVITÓRIA, featuring Nando Reis, delves into the profound sense of longing and the emotional turmoil that follows a separation. The lyrics poignantly capture the essence of missing someone deeply, with vivid imagery that brings the listener into the intimate space of the narrator's heartache. The repeated questioning of 'E agora, o que eu vou fazer?' ('And now, what am I going to do?') sets the tone for the song, highlighting the confusion and helplessness that often accompany the end of a relationship.

The song uses powerful metaphors to convey the lingering presence of a loved one. The lines 'Seus lábios ainda estão molhando os lábios meus' ('Your lips are still wetting my lips') and 'O teu cheiro ainda está no travesseiro' ('Your scent is still on the pillow') evoke a sense of physical closeness that remains even in their absence. This physicality is further emphasized with 'O teu cabelo está enrolado no meu peito' ('Your hair is wrapped around my chest'), suggesting an inextricable bond that is hard to break.

The chorus expresses a desperate hope for the passage of time to bring relief and reunion. The repetition of 'Espero que o tempo passe' ('I hope time passes') and 'Espero que a semana acabe' ('I hope the week ends') underscores the narrator's impatience and yearning for the return of their loved one. The song beautifully captures the cyclical nature of longing, where each moment apart feels like an eternity, and the hope for reunion becomes a source of solace. The collaboration between ANAVITÓRIA and Nando Reis adds a rich, emotional depth to the song, blending their voices to create a harmonious expression of love and loss.
