Sim (part. Nando Reis)

In 'Sim,' Jão, featuring Nando Reis, crafts a poignant narrative of longing and desire. The song opens with an immediate declaration of love and an almost divine admiration for the beloved. The lyrics, 'Desde que eu te vi eu te quis / Eu quis te raptar / Eu fiz um altar pra te receber,' suggest an intense, almost sacred infatuation. The imagery of building an altar underscores the reverence and the almost spiritual connection the narrator feels towards the object of their affection.

The metaphor of an angel who has fallen from the sky, 'Como um anjo que caiu lá do céu / Não estava voando / Andando, distraiu-se,' adds a layer of celestial beauty and innocence to the beloved. This angelic figure, who was not flying but walking and got distracted, symbolizes a pure and unattainable love that has somehow become grounded and within reach. The narrator's desire to 'raptar' or kidnap this angelic being further emphasizes the intensity and urgency of their emotions.

As the song progresses, the repetition of the desire to return to the heavens, 'Eu quero voltar lá do céu,' reflects a longing for a state of bliss and completeness that the narrator associates with being with their beloved. The repeated affirmations of wanting to be with the beloved, 'Eu quero ter você quando estiver de volta / Eu quero você para mim,' highlight a deep-seated fear of loneliness and a yearning for a profound connection. The song's closing lines, 'Não dou pra ficar só,' encapsulate the narrator's vulnerability and their desperate need for companionship, making 'Sim' a heartfelt exploration of love, longing, and the human desire for connection.
