Vez Em Quando Vem Me Ver

“Vez Em Quando Vem Me Ver” by Chitãozinho & Xororó is a poignant exploration of unrequited love and the lingering pain that accompanies it. The song's lyrics convey a deep sense of longing and heartache, as the narrator pleads with their former lover to visit them occasionally. The opening lines, “Não toque meus cabelos / Feito quem quer ir embora,” set the tone for the song, expressing a desire to avoid the superficial gestures that often accompany a breakup. The narrator prefers silence over empty words, highlighting the depth of their emotional turmoil.

The song delves into the sacrifices made for love, with the narrator recounting how they abandoned friends and hobbies, symbolized by giving up football, to be with their lover. This sacrifice is further emphasized by the metaphor of making it rain to shield their lover from the sun, illustrating the lengths they went to for the relationship. The passion described as a “loucura” (madness) underscores the intensity of their feelings, which ultimately transformed them into someone who struggles to control their emotions.

The chorus, “Não deixe a saudade matar / Quem te amou pra valer / Vez em quando vem me ver,” is a heartfelt plea for occasional visits to alleviate the pain of separation. The repetition of “Vez em quando vem me ver” (Come see me once in a while) underscores the narrator's enduring love and the hope that their former lover will remember the bond they shared. The song captures the universal experience of longing for a lost love and the hope that, despite the end of the relationship, there can still be moments of connection and remembrance.
