Seu Amor É Bom / Um Novo Amor
Calcinha Preta
The Turmoil of Unrequited Love and the Hope for a New Beginning
Calcinha Preta's song "Seu Amor É Bom / Um Novo Amor" delves into the emotional rollercoaster of unrequited love and the yearning for a new, fulfilling relationship. The lyrics express the frustration and confusion of a person who feels neglected and undervalued by their partner. The repeated lines, "Não sabe mesmo, nunca sabe o que quer, não se decide não quer me fazer mulher," highlight the indecisiveness and lack of commitment from the partner, which leaves the protagonist in a state of emotional limbo.
The chorus, "Seu amor é bom, bom é lindo demais, seu amor me traz a paz," juxtaposes the protagonist's deep appreciation for the love they receive, despite its inconsistency. This love is described as beautiful and peaceful, yet the protagonist is aware that it is not enough to sustain a healthy relationship. The internal conflict is palpable as they grapple with the desire to hold onto this love while recognizing the need for something more stable and reciprocated.
As the song progresses, the protagonist contemplates the possibility of their partner leaving for someone else. The lines, "Se quiser partir eu não vou deixar, eu não vou me acostumar com um outro amor pensando em ti," reveal the deep attachment and fear of losing their partner. However, the song takes a turn towards self-realization and empowerment in the final verses. The protagonist acknowledges their worth and expresses a desire for a new love that will cherish and value them, as seen in the lines, "Hoje eu quero um outro alguém que me ame também, que me carinho e de me amor, muito amor." This shift signifies a hopeful outlook towards finding a love that is both mutual and fulfilling.
