Nha Love
Djodje
A Love That Transcends Time and Space
Djodje's song "Nha Love" is a heartfelt expression of deep, enduring love that transcends time and space. The lyrics, sung in Cape Verdean Creole, convey a sense of longing and devotion. The song opens with the singer asking his beloved to look into his eyes and acknowledge the love that exists between them. He pleads for her not to ignore the love that was born for her, emphasizing that their future together is destined. The imagery of her gaze stopping time and the perfection of the moment highlights the intensity of his feelings.
The chorus reveals the singer's realization that he has spent his entire life searching for someone to love, only to find her. However, there is a sense of regret as he acknowledges that it might be too late for them to be together. Despite this, he promises never to let her cry, showing his unwavering commitment and care. The repetition of the phrase "N krê pa bu ser nha love" (I want you to be my love) underscores his deep desire for her to be his forever.
In the second verse, Djodje shares a story, hinting at a predestined connection between them. He speaks of things that only God knows and that reason cannot understand, suggesting a spiritual or fated element to their relationship. This adds a layer of mysticism and depth to the song, making it not just a love song but a reflection on destiny and the inexplicable nature of true love. The song's emotional depth is further enhanced by its smooth, soulful melody, characteristic of Djodje's musical style, which blends traditional Cape Verdean sounds with contemporary influences.
