Preciso de Amor

In 'Preciso de Amor,' Exaltasamba delves into the depths of unrequited love and the yearning for reciprocation. The song's protagonist is deeply in love with a girl who remains oblivious to his feelings. This emotional turmoil is evident from the very beginning, as he laments to God about his helplessness and the unrecognized passion he harbors. The repeated plea, 'Eu preciso de amor pra viver,' underscores his belief that love is essential for his existence, highlighting the intensity of his emotions.

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the protagonist's internal struggle. He describes the girl as 'a menina dos meus sonhos' and 'a menina dos meus olhos,' emphasizing her significance in his life. Despite his clear signs of affection, such as his smile and longing gaze, she remains unaware of his desires. This unawareness leads to his suffering, as he is caught in a cycle of hope and despair, unable to express his love openly. The phrase 'sofrendo na ânsia sem poder amar' captures the essence of his agony, portraying a love that is both intense and unfulfilled.

The song also touches on the protagonist's inability to move on. He confesses that he cannot be with anyone else because his heart is occupied by this unrequited love. His relationships are transient and unsatisfying, as he constantly compares them to his feelings for the girl. This cyclical nature of his romantic endeavors, described as 'meu namoro é só vai e vem,' further emphasizes his emotional entrapment. 'Preciso de Amor' is a poignant exploration of the pain and longing that accompany unreciprocated love, capturing the universal experience of yearning for someone who doesn't see you in the same light.
