Magno Amor

Atr3s' song 'Magno Amor' delves into the profound and often indescribable nature of love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the emotional turbulence and the overwhelming sense of passion that love can bring. The opening lines, 'À deriva o dia me traz confusão' (Adrift, the day brings me confusion), set the tone for a journey through the complexities of love. The singer feels lost and confused, yet there's a sense of destiny and decision-making, as indicated by 'Sol e vida tom de decisão' (Sun and life, tone of decision). This juxtaposition of confusion and clarity reflects the dual nature of love—both bewildering and enlightening.

The chorus, 'Tente contar meu amor por ti / Tente se encaixar tente / Tente explicar esse amor entre vários / Tente entender é magno' (Try to count my love for you / Try to fit in, try / Try to explain this love among many / Try to understand, it is grand), emphasizes the magnitude of the singer's feelings. The repeated use of the word 'tente' (try) suggests that love is something that defies easy explanation or understanding. It's a force that is both vast and unique, standing out among other emotions and experiences.

In the second verse, the singer describes themselves as 'lampeiro nato, naco de tesão' (a natural spark, a piece of desire), highlighting the innate and passionate nature of their love. The imagery of 'cores de vida ao nada só' (colors of life to nothing alone) and 'canto divinal paciência de jó' (divine song, patience of Job) further illustrates the depth and spiritual quality of their feelings. The song concludes with a repeated affirmation of 'Magno amor, mais, mais' (Grand love, more, more), reinforcing the idea that this love is not only immense but also ever-growing.

' Magno Amor' by Atr3s is a poetic exploration of the grandeur and complexity of love. It captures the essence of an emotion that is both deeply personal and universally resonant, making it a powerful and relatable piece for listeners.
