Coleção

Ivete Sangalo's song 'Coleção' delves into the complexities of love, heartbreak, and self-awareness. The lyrics reveal a narrative of someone who is aware of their partner's playful and non-committal attitude towards love. The repeated phrase 'Sei que você gosta de brincar de amores' (I know you like to play with love) underscores the speaker's recognition of their partner's frivolous approach to relationships. However, the speaker draws a line, asserting 'Mas, ó, comigo não' (But, oh, not with me), indicating a refusal to be part of this game.

The song also touches on the theme of uncertainty and the unknown aspects of the partner, as seen in 'Sei também que você, eu não sei mais nada' (I also know that you, I don't know anything else). This line reflects the speaker's realization that despite their feelings, there is much they do not understand about their partner. The anticipation of future regret is palpable when the speaker predicts that one day their partner will hear from someone else what they once heard from the speaker, leading to a moment of reflection and potential regret.

In the chorus, the speaker oscillates between resignation and a declaration of love. The lines 'Não vá, ou vá, você é quem quer' (Don't go, or go, it's up to you) show a sense of resignation to the partner's whims, while 'Quer saber? Eu amo você' (Want to know? I love you) is a powerful, repeated affirmation of love despite the pain and uncertainty. This juxtaposition of emotions highlights the complexity of human relationships and the often contradictory nature of love, where deep affection can coexist with hurt and disappointment.
