Reserva pra Dois (feat. Mayra Andrade)

Branko's song 'Reserva pra Dois,' featuring Mayra Andrade, is a poetic exploration of love, self-discovery, and the complexities of human emotions. The lyrics delve into the feeling of growing emotionally and spiritually, especially when one is distant from their true self. The phrase 'O sentir que trago cresce quando estou longe de mim' (The feeling I carry grows when I am far from myself) suggests a deep introspection and the realization that personal growth often happens in moments of solitude and reflection. This duality of being 'tão perto, mas dentro assim, tão fora daqui' (so close, but inside like this, so far from here) captures the essence of feeling connected yet distant, a common experience in the journey of self-discovery.

The song also touches on the theme of love and its uncertainties. The lines 'Crescer é saber e amar, Certeza sem fim' (Growing is knowing and loving, endless certainty) highlight that growth involves understanding and embracing love, despite its inherent uncertainties. The rhetorical questions 'Quem me vai dizer no amor, O que é bom ou ruim?' (Who will tell me in love, what is good or bad?) and 'Quem me vai dizer se o meu amor, É jindungo ou quindim?' (Who will tell me if my love is spicy or sweet?) emphasize the subjective nature of love and the personal journey each individual must undertake to understand it.

The imagery of a 'ventre quente e furioso' (warm and furious womb) where there is always a place 'Além do depois' (beyond the after) suggests a safe, nurturing space for love and growth, free from external judgments. The song concludes with the profound realization that 'onde nada existe, nada acaba' (where nothing exists, nothing ends), implying that in the realm of emotions and personal growth, the journey is continuous and ever-evolving. Branko and Mayra Andrade's collaboration beautifully encapsulates the intricate dance between love, self-awareness, and the endless pursuit of understanding oneself and one's emotions.
