Coisas do Amor

Andre Mingas' song 'Coisas do Amor' delves into the intricate and often tumultuous nature of love and relationships. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that is both passionate and fraught with emotional highs and lows. Mingas reminisces about intimate moments, recalling the physical and emotional connection he shared with his lover. The imagery of 'teu seio macio' (your soft breast) and 'teu olhar noites loucas' (your gaze, crazy nights) evokes a sense of deep longing and nostalgia for the past.

The song also touches on the pain of separation and the struggle to move on. Mingas remembers 'da manhã do adeus' (the morning of goodbye) and 'da noite repetida' (the repeated night), highlighting the cyclical nature of their relationship and the difficulty in breaking free from it. The line 'do teu quero não quero' (your want, don't want) suggests a push-and-pull dynamic, where desires and hesitations coexist, making the relationship even more complex.

In the latter part of the song, Mingas shifts his focus to a plea for reconciliation and commitment. He urges his lover to 'valoriza o que é teu' (value what is yours) and to 'faz a luta da vida que eu fico contigo' (fight the battle of life, and I'll stay with you). This plea is not just for romantic love but also for a deeper, more enduring companionship. The mention of 'tira o zeca da vida' (take Zeca out of your life) indicates a desire to eliminate any obstacles or distractions that might hinder their relationship. Ultimately, Mingas expresses a longing for stability and a lasting connection, encapsulating the complexities and emotional depth of love.
