Lua Vem Me Ver

In 'Lua Vem Me Ver,' Art Popular delves into the depths of longing and emotional turmoil. The song's protagonist is grappling with a profound sense of loss and desperation, which is vividly captured in the opening lines, 'Pintou uma dor, pintou um sufoco, ah! Que só o amor pode curar e ver.' This translates to 'A pain has appeared, a suffocation has appeared, ah! That only love can heal and see.' The lyrics immediately set the tone for a narrative steeped in heartache, where the only remedy is the return of a lost love.

The recurring invocation of the moon, 'Oh! lua! Que bom que vem me ver,' serves as a poignant metaphor. The moon is often seen as a silent witness to our deepest emotions and a symbol of hope and constancy in the face of change. Here, the moon's presence is a source of solace for the protagonist, a comforting presence in their time of need. The imagery of 'As cinzas do cigarro, me faz empoeirar, sem ela,' or 'The cigarette ashes make me dusty, without her,' further emphasizes the sense of decay and emptiness that pervades the protagonist's life in the absence of their beloved.

The song's chorus, with its repeated lines 'Se ela fugir, eu morro de sufoco, Eu vou gritar feito maluco, Sua importância em mim,' underscores the protagonist's desperation. Translated, these lines mean 'If she runs away, I die of suffocation, I will scream like a madman, Her importance in me.' This raw expression of emotional dependency highlights the intensity of the protagonist's feelings and the void left by their lover's absence. The song concludes with a glimmer of hope, as the protagonist contemplates the joy of their lover's return, 'Se ela voltar, só eu direi, Que foi tão bom tê-la de novo,' or 'If she returns, only I will say, That it was so good to have her again.' This bittersweet ending encapsulates the duality of hope and despair that defines the song's emotional landscape.
