Quem (feat. Luana Mallet)
Jorge Vercillo
The Unexpected Allure of Love
Jorge Vercillo's song 'Quem,' featuring Luana Mallet, delves into the unexpected and transformative nature of love. The lyrics explore the bewildering and captivating experience of falling for someone when it was least expected. The repeated questioning—'Quem te deixou chegar?' (Who let you arrive?) and 'Quem te deixou entrar?' (Who let you in?)—reflects the singer's astonishment at how this person has managed to disrupt their life and emotions so profoundly. This sense of surprise is a central theme, as the singer grapples with the sudden and intense feelings that have emerged.
The song also touches on the idea of vulnerability and surrender. The lines 'E eu fiquei aqui pensando em você' (And I stayed here thinking about you) and 'Me pego curtindo lembrar, planejando te ter' (I find myself enjoying remembering, planning to have you) reveal a shift from indifference to a deep longing and desire. The singer, who initially 'não queria nem saber' (didn't want to know), now finds themselves captivated and planning a future with this person. This transformation highlights the power of love to change one's perspective and priorities.
Additionally, the song captures the playful and uncertain nature of new love. The lyrics 'Fica um pouco mais comigo, só pra saber se é bom' (Stay a little longer with me, just to see if it's good) and 'Me pego suspenso no ar' (I find myself suspended in the air) convey a sense of anticipation and curiosity. The singer is eager to explore the potential of this new relationship, despite the initial reluctance. This blend of curiosity, desire, and vulnerability makes 'Quem' a poignant reflection on the complexities of falling in love unexpectedly.
