Sentimento Verdadeiro

In 'Sentimento Verdadeiro,' Ikaro Ogãn delves into the profound and often painful experiences of love, betrayal, and resilience. The song opens with a powerful declaration that true feelings are embodied only in the love of a mother and Jesus of Nazareth. This sets a spiritual and emotional tone, suggesting that these forms of love are pure and unwavering, unlike the fickle nature of human relationships. The artist reflects on his own journey, marked by humiliation and hardship, but ultimately finds strength and faith to rise above his struggles. The phrase 'Hoje em dia o meu peito bate na sola do pé' metaphorically illustrates his newfound resilience and determination, indicating that his heart is now strong enough to endure any challenge.

The narrative takes a personal turn as Ogãn recounts a relationship where he gave his all—love, care, and devotion—only to be met with ingratitude. Despite the betrayal, he maintains a sense of peace, stating that the person owes him nothing and should instead settle their accounts with the 'malandrinho da estrada,' a figure representing streetwise cunning or karma. This reflects a deep understanding of life's cyclical nature and the belief that actions have consequences, even if he is not the one to enforce them.

The recurring line 'vai ter volta' emphasizes the theme of retribution and the inevitability of facing one's actions. Ogãn acknowledges the support he received from the 'malandragem,' a term often associated with street culture and resilience, during his lowest moments. This community's promise that he will witness the pain of those who wronged him serves as a reminder of the strength found in solidarity and the belief in eventual justice. Through 'Sentimento Verdadeiro,' Ikaro Ogãn paints a vivid picture of emotional endurance, the complexities of human relationships, and the unwavering support found in faith and community.
