O Amor Se Intrometeu

Grupo Disfarce's song "O Amor Se Intrometeu" delves into the complexities of forbidden love and the emotional turmoil it brings. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who wishes they could have foreseen the future to avoid falling in love with someone they shouldn't. The protagonist expresses a deep sense of regret and longing, wishing they could have altered their destiny to prevent this painful love from blossoming. This sentiment is encapsulated in the lines, "Se eu tivese o dom de ler o futuro e prever você / Mudaria o meu destino, só pra não te conhecer," which translate to, "If I had the gift of reading the future and foreseeing you / I would change my destiny, just so I wouldn't meet you."

The song further explores the internal conflict of being in a relationship with someone else while yearning for the forbidden lover. The protagonist struggles with the guilt and confusion of imagining the forbidden lover during intimate moments with their current partner. This is poignantly expressed in the lines, "Como é que faço pra deitar com ela e não querer você / Se eu te imagino aqui na hora do prazer," meaning, "How do I lie with her and not want you / If I imagine you here in the moment of pleasure." The repeated refrain, "O amor se entrometeu," or "Love intruded," underscores the uninvited and disruptive nature of this love.

The song's emotional depth is heightened by the realization that despite the pain and complications, the love was worth it. The protagonist acknowledges that this forbidden love, though disruptive, brought a sense of fulfillment and meaning to their life. The closing lines, "E o pior é que valeu valeu valeu," which translate to, "And the worst part is that it was worth it," encapsulate this bittersweet acceptance. Grupo Disfarce's musical style, characterized by its emotive melodies and heartfelt lyrics, amplifies the song's themes of love, regret, and the inevitable entanglements of the heart.
