50 Vezes (feat. Sorriso Maroto)
Dilsinho
The Bittersweet Realization of Lost Love
In the song "50 Vezes" by Dilsinho, featuring Sorriso Maroto, the lyrics delve into the complex emotions of regret and longing after a breakup. The protagonist reflects on the times when their partner would call them incessantly, up to fifty times a day, just to check in and be a part of their life. Initially, these actions were perceived as overbearing and suffocating, leading to criticism and frustration. However, in the absence of these calls, the protagonist realizes that this exaggerated attention was something they actually cherished and now deeply miss.
The song captures the irony of human relationships, where what once seemed overwhelming and annoying becomes a source of nostalgia and pain when it's gone. The protagonist admits to not valuing their partner's love and attention when they had it, and now they are left feeling like a fool for not appreciating it. The repeated lines about the partner insisting that nothing has changed and that they were just busy highlight the common excuses people make to avoid confronting the reality of a relationship's decline.
Dilsinho and Sorriso Maroto use this song to explore themes of regret, realization, and the bittersweet nature of love. The exaggerated actions of the partner, which were once a point of contention, are now seen in a new light, emphasizing how love can be both overwhelming and deeply missed. The song serves as a reminder to cherish and value the love and attention we receive from others before it's too late.
