Antigo, Novo Amor

In 'Antigo, Novo Amor,' Gusttavo Lima delves into the complexities of rekindling an old romance. The song opens with a sense of nostalgia and reflection, as the protagonist acknowledges the passage of time and the futility of past relationships. The lyrics suggest a weariness from 'collecting love' and a realization of where these experiences have led. This sets the stage for a poignant exploration of reconnecting with a former lover.

The narrative shifts to a conversation between the two former lovers, where they discuss their lives apart. The protagonist is curious about the other's experiences and relationships, indicating a genuine interest in understanding what has transpired during their separation. The mention of 'coincidentally' reuniting and attributing it to a 'plan of God' adds a layer of fate and destiny to their reunion. This spiritual element suggests that their paths were meant to cross again, emphasizing the idea that neither has truly forgotten the other.

As the song progresses, the protagonist proposes a fresh start, urging to 'erase the past from our memory' and pretend they are meeting for the first time. This metaphor of a 'blank paper' symbolizes a new beginning, free from the baggage of their shared history. The closing lines, 'Hi, nice to meet you, I am your old, new love,' encapsulate the essence of the song—a blend of familiarity and novelty, where past and present converge to create a hopeful future. Gusttavo Lima's heartfelt delivery and the evocative lyrics make 'Antigo, Novo Amor' a touching ode to second chances and the enduring power of love.
