Vem Logo

In 'Vem Logo,' Chico Buarque delves into the depths of longing and heartache, painting a vivid picture of a love that is both a source of immense joy and profound sorrow. The song's lyrics express a deep sense of sadness and emptiness in the absence of a loved one, highlighting the transformative power of love. Without the beloved, life is described as a 'tristeza' (sadness), but with them, it becomes a 'surpresa' (surprise), indicating the unpredictable and exhilarating nature of love.

The recurring plea for the loved one to return underscores the theme of desperation and the feeling of being held captive by loneliness. The line 'solidão mata antes nos faz refém' (loneliness kills, it makes us captives first) poignantly captures the torment of solitude and the yearning for connection. This sentiment is further emphasized by the repeated calls to 'volta pra mim' (come back to me), which convey a sense of urgency and deep emotional need.

Chico Buarque also reflects on the past, reminiscing about the joy and happiness that the relationship once brought. The lyrics 'Eu me lembro daquele dia, você era a minha alegria' (I remember that day, you were my joy) evoke a sense of nostalgia and a longing to recapture those moments. Despite acknowledging that everything changes, the singer holds onto the hope that their love can be rekindled and that they can once again experience the unique and irreplaceable bond they shared. This song beautifully encapsulates the complexities of love, loss, and the enduring hope for reconciliation.
