Amor Meu

In 'Amor Meu,' João Luiz Corrêa delves into the depths of love, loss, and longing. The song begins with a poignant moment of separation, as the word 'adeus' (goodbye) resonates from the lover's lips, causing the protagonist's life to flash before his eyes. This immediate sense of loss is compounded by the vivid memories of their passionate love, which once felt like it could create a new world. The imagery of kisses and embraces paints a picture of a love that was intense and all-consuming.

As the song progresses, the protagonist struggles to accept the departure of his beloved. He admits to ignoring her words, not wanting to believe she was leaving. The closing of the door symbolizes the finality of her departure, marking the beginning of his sorrowful journey. Despite the passage of time, his love remains unwavering. He reminisces about their shared moments, feeling the weight of her absence in every part of his daily life. The nights are long and the mornings empty, underscoring his enduring heartache.

The presence of her belongings, like her clothes and perfume, serves as a constant reminder of what once was. The rosary in their room symbolizes his hope and prayer for her return, highlighting the spiritual dimension of his longing. The song concludes with a declaration of eternal love, acknowledging that while there may have been other loves, none compare to her. She is his 'derradeira' (last), his ultimate and eternal love. This song beautifully captures the essence of a love that transcends time and space, remaining ever-present in the heart of the one left behind.
