Com Quem Será

The song 'Com Quem Será' by Guilherme e Benuto is a heartfelt narrative about a love that has been longed for and eventually realized. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the singer's birthdays, where each candle blown out was accompanied by a wish for a specific person. This recurring birthday ritual symbolizes the deep and persistent desire for a romantic connection with someone special.

The mention of 'fitinhas coloridas na Bahia' (colorful ribbons in Bahia) adds a cultural layer to the song. In Brazilian tradition, these ribbons are often tied with three knots, each representing a wish. The singer's wishes, tied to these ribbons, were all about being with the person they love. This cultural reference enriches the song, grounding it in a specific tradition that many listeners can relate to.

The chorus, 'Com quem será, com quem será? Eu já sabia que era você,' reflects the certainty and inevitability of their love. Despite the playful nature of the traditional birthday song 'Com Quem Será,' which is often sung to guess who the birthday person will marry, the singer always knew the answer. The line 'A minha sorte foi seu coração me escolher' (My luck was your heart choosing me) encapsulates the joy and gratitude of having their love reciprocated. The song beautifully captures the journey from longing and wishing to the fulfillment of a destined love.
