Conto de Fadas

In the song "Conto de Fadas" by Banda Lordão, the lyrics convey a poignant message about the disillusionment with idealized love. The singer addresses a former lover, urging them to abandon their belief in fairy tales. The repeated line, "Você não deve acreditar em contos de fadas amor" (You shouldn't believe in fairy tales, my love), serves as a central theme, emphasizing the contrast between romantic fantasies and the harsh realities of love and relationships.

The singer expresses a deep sense of betrayal and heartache, feeling "desprezado e sem amor" (despised and unloved). Despite this pain, there is a lingering hope that the former lover will eventually realize the uniqueness of the love they once shared. The lyrics suggest that while the ex-partner may find someone new who says "I Love You," they will ultimately remember the true love they had. This sentiment is encapsulated in the lines, "E vai saber que amor igual ao meu ninguém no mundo encontrou, vou te amar pra valer" (And you will know that no one in the world found a love like mine, I will truly love you).

The song also touches on the themes of loneliness and unfulfilled longing. The singer's pain and solitude are palpable, as they plead for their former lover to see through the illusion of the new relationship. The repeated refrain of "Bye bye segue o seu mundo, a vida vai te dizer" (Bye bye, follow your world, life will tell you) suggests a resigned acceptance that life will eventually reveal the truth. The song's emotional depth is further highlighted by the melancholic melody and heartfelt delivery, making it a powerful reflection on the complexities of love and the disillusionment that often accompanies it.
