Você, O Amor e Eu
Cleiton e Camargo
Eternal Love and Unyielding Longing
In the song 'Você, O Amor e Eu' by Cleiton e Camargo, the lyrics delve into the profound emotions of love, longing, and the pain of separation. The song opens with the imagery of the wind carrying the voice of a loved one, which triggers memories and an overwhelming sense of nostalgia. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, where the singer grapples with the intensity of missing someone deeply. The phrase 'A saudade é demais' (The longing is too much) encapsulates the core sentiment of the song, highlighting the struggle to cope with the absence of a loved one.
The lyrics further explore the theme of solitude and the pain it brings. The singer describes loneliness as 'feroz' (fierce) and the pain as a 'veneno' (poison), emphasizing the destructive nature of these emotions. The metaphor of a 'grito de amor' (cry of love) that no one can hear underscores the feeling of isolation and the desperate need for the loved one's presence. This vivid imagery paints a picture of a heart in turmoil, yearning for the return of a lost love.
As the song progresses, there is a glimmer of hope and a desire for reconciliation. The singer expresses a wish to turn back time and bring the loved one back, indicating that the love they share is timeless and unbreakable. The repeated assertion that 'nunca é tarde demais' (it's never too late) and 'nem o tempo é capaz de apagar os sinais' (not even time can erase the signs) reinforces the idea that true love endures despite the passage of time and the challenges faced. This powerful message resonates with anyone who has experienced the enduring nature of love and the hope for a reunion.
