Estou Afim

Banda Calypso's song 'Estou a Fim' is a poignant expression of longing and heartache. The lyrics reveal a deep emotional struggle as the protagonist tries to forget a past lover but finds it impossible to move on. The opening lines, 'Faço tudo pra te esquecer, me enganar / E escondo dos amigos, pra ninguém notar,' highlight the lengths to which the protagonist goes to hide their pain from others. Despite these efforts, the mere mention of the ex-lover's name causes a visceral reaction, indicating that the wounds are still fresh and the heart is far from healed.

The chorus, 'Vem cá, amor, estou a fim / Vem ser o Sol do meu jardim,' serves as a desperate plea for the return of the loved one. The metaphor of the lover being the 'Sun' of the protagonist's 'garden' suggests that their presence brings life, warmth, and happiness. This imagery underscores the depth of the protagonist's dependence on their partner for emotional well-being. The repeated calls for the lover to come back and 'make me happy' emphasize the void left by their absence and the yearning for their return.

The song also delves into the theme of hidden sorrow. Lines like 'Mas por dentro, tá doendo / Tô chorando escondida, roendo' reveal the internal turmoil that the protagonist experiences. This hidden pain contrasts sharply with the facade of normalcy they present to the world. The loneliness and need for affection are palpable, especially in the lines 'Tão sozinha, tão carente / No vazio da cama da gente,' which paint a vivid picture of the emptiness felt in the shared bed now devoid of the loved one's presence. 'Estou a Fim' is a heartfelt ballad that captures the essence of longing, hidden sorrow, and the desperate hope for reconciliation.
