Quero-te Ouvir Dizer
Gonçalo Dias
A Sincere Plea for Love and Redemption
Gonçalo Dias' song "Quero-te Ouvir Dizer" is a heartfelt exploration of love, regret, and the desire for redemption. The lyrics convey a deep sense of imperfection and the realization that the singer has not always been the ideal partner. He acknowledges his flaws and the incompleteness of his world, despite his efforts to do everything right. This admission sets the stage for a sincere and earnest plea to his lover, emphasizing the seriousness and mystery of their love.
The chorus, or 'refrão,' is a powerful declaration of the singer's longing to understand his partner better and to make amends for past mistakes. He expresses a sense of blindness, a metaphor for his previous lack of awareness or understanding in the relationship. The repeated desire to hear his partner say that they will never lose each other again highlights his yearning for reassurance and a commitment to a future together. The imagery of being in each other's arms 'forever' underscores the depth of his emotional investment and his hope for lasting love.
In the second verse, the singer reflects on the past and expresses a desire to prove that his partner was always by his side. This longing to revisit and perhaps rectify the past is coupled with a determination to discard what no longer matters and focus on living well in the present. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the central themes of the song: the need for communication, the willingness to give what was previously withheld, and the hope for an enduring, unbreakable bond. Gonçalo Dias' emotive delivery and the poignant lyrics make "Quero-te Ouvir Dizer" a touching anthem of love, regret, and the quest for redemption.
