Medo Bobo

In Jão's song "Medo Bobo," the artist delves into the complexities of rekindling a past romance. The lyrics open with a sense of recognition and nostalgia, as the protagonist identifies a familiar mix of fear and desire in the voice of their former lover. This initial contact is portrayed as a courageous act, breaking the silence and reigniting old feelings. The protagonist admits to having thought their longing was a mere figment of their imagination, but hearing the other person's voice brings a sense of relief and validation.

The song explores the theme of wasted time and missed opportunities. Both individuals have been holding back their feelings due to the presence of another person in their lives. The lyrics suggest that they have been unnecessarily restraining themselves, and the only way to truly know if their love can flourish is by taking the leap. The chorus reveals the profound impact of their reunion, with the kiss surpassing all expectations and confirming that they were always meant to be together. The repeated line, "No fundo sempre fomos bons amantes" (Deep down, we were always good lovers), emphasizes the latent connection that has always existed between them.

The phrase "É o fim daquele medo bobo" (It's the end of that foolish fear) serves as a powerful conclusion, signifying the end of their irrational fears and the beginning of a renewed relationship. The song captures the bittersweet realization that they could have been happy together all along, had they not been held back by their insecurities. Jão's emotive delivery and the heartfelt lyrics resonate with anyone who has experienced the pain of lost time and the joy of rediscovered love.
