Quando Um Grande Amor Se Faz (Cantare e D'amore)

Gusttavo Lima's song 'Quando Um Grande Amor Se Faz (Cantare e D'amore)' delves into the complex and often contradictory nature of love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of love's initial allure, likening it to a 'mar de rosas' (sea of roses) that eventually gives way to tears and heartbreak. This metaphor captures the duality of love, which can be both beautiful and painful. The song suggests that love is a powerful force that can ignite quickly, like 'fogo sobre a palha' (fire on straw), but can also lead to destruction if not handled carefully.

The song further explores the idea that love is a dream that comes with its own set of fears and uncertainties. The line 'Amar é como ter um sonho e despertar com medo de chorar' (Loving is like having a dream and waking up afraid to cry) encapsulates this sentiment. Lima touches on the illusion that love can make life perpetually beautiful, filled with 'estrelas coloridas' (colorful stars) and devoid of 'espinhos' (thorns). This illusion often leads to a 'maravilhosa confusão' (wonderful confusion) that can drive one to madness, highlighting the emotional rollercoaster that love often is.

As the song progresses, it delves into the enduring nature of love and its ability to persist even when physically distant. The lyrics speak to the pain of longing and the search for a love that remains ever-present in the heart. The song concludes with the notion that love can transform drastically, turning 'do inferno o paraíso' (hell into paradise) and 'do sorriso uma solidão' (a smile into solitude). This transformation underscores the unpredictable and often tumultuous journey of love, making it a powerful and relatable anthem for anyone who has experienced the highs and lows of a great love.
