Querido Futuro Namorado
Carolina de Deus
A Heart's Plea for Healing and Hope
Carolina de Deus's song "Querido Futuro Namorado" is a heartfelt letter to a future lover, filled with vulnerability and hope. The lyrics reveal a person who has been deeply hurt by past relationships and is now cautious about love. The opening lines, "Coleto feridas de cenários / De quem me partiu o coração," set the tone for the song, indicating that the singer carries emotional scars from previous heartbreaks. This sets up a narrative of someone who is wary of opening up again but still yearns for a loving relationship.
The chorus, with lines like "E se eu / Não for princesa de ninguém / E se estes sonhos pesados / De amores passados / Forem sombras más," captures the internal conflict of wanting to love and be loved but being haunted by past disappointments. The singer acknowledges that these "shadows" of past loves weigh heavily on her, making her a "refém" (hostage) to her fears. Yet, she expresses a sincere desire to experience the best that love has to offer, despite these fears.
In the latter part of the song, the singer makes a plea for patience and understanding from her future partner. She asks for a promise that things will be different this time, and she expresses a willingness to move forward and be happy together. The lines "Promete que vai ser diferente / Só quero que fiques a meu lado / Contigo eu quero seguir em frente" encapsulate this hope for a new beginning. The song ends on a note of cautious optimism, with the singer promising not to fear their "imperfeito" (imperfections) and hoping that even if the relationship ends, the good moments will be cherished.
