A Devotion Beyond Measure: The Heartfelt Proposal in 'Proposta'
In 'Proposta,' Gilberto e Gilmar craft a poignant narrative of unwavering devotion and love. The song's lyrics are a heartfelt declaration of a man's commitment to his beloved, promising to give himself entirely to her. He vows to be her source of joy and comfort, expressing a desire to be intertwined with her emotions, whether in moments of happiness or sorrow. This profound dedication is evident in lines like 'Vou me dar inteiro pra esta mulher' (I will give myself entirely to this woman) and 'Quero ser o pranto se ela chorar' (I want to be the tears if she cries), showcasing a love that is both selfless and all-encompassing.
The song delves deeper into the themes of love and sacrifice, with the protagonist willing to endure any hardship to maintain this 'amor-verdade' (true love). He acknowledges that happiness may be fleeting, yet he aspires to be the embodiment of those fleeting moments of joy. The lyrics 'Vou pagar o preço que a vida cobrar' (I will pay the price that life demands) and 'Quero ser momentos de felicidade' (I want to be moments of happiness) reflect a readiness to face life's challenges for the sake of preserving their love.
Furthermore, 'Proposta' touches on the inevitability of separation, whether by fate or circumstance. The protagonist accepts that even if they are parted, the love they share will leave indelible marks on their hearts. The lines 'Se acaso a sorte vier nos separar' (If by chance fate separates us) and 'Morrerás por mim aonde estiver' (You will die for me wherever you are) underscore a love that transcends physical presence, promising eternal devotion. This song is a beautiful testament to the enduring power of love and the lengths one is willing to go to cherish and protect it.
