Nos Dois

Edgar Domingos' song 'Nos Dois' delves into the complexities of a love triangle, where emotions run high and clarity is elusive. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man who is caught in a web of mixed signals and emotional turmoil. The woman in question frequently calls him at odd hours, reminiscing about past moments, yet she is in a relationship with someone else. This creates a sense of confusion and frustration for the man, who questions her sincerity and intentions. He urges her to be honest, emphasizing that men also have feelings and deserve respect.

The chorus reveals the woman's conflicting emotions. She admits that her feelings for him are intense, to the point where she sometimes loses her sense of reason. Despite this, the man remains firm in his stance, asking her to respect her current relationship and the feelings of her boyfriend. He makes it clear that there can be nothing between them, repeating the phrase 'Nós dois' (the two of us) to emphasize the impossibility of their union.

As the song progresses, the narrative takes a more intimate turn. The man recounts a night where they end up together, despite his initial resistance. This moment of weakness leads to a passionate encounter, but it only complicates things further. He acknowledges that he is not a saint and struggles to control his desires. The song ends with a sense of resignation, as he reiterates that there can be nothing between them, urging her to forget about 'us.' The repeated refrain 'Nós dois' serves as a poignant reminder of the emotional tug-of-war and the ultimate futility of their situation.
