Em Dobro

Joyce Alane's song "Em Dobro" is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the yearning for reconciliation. The lyrics convey a deep sense of nostalgia and regret, as the narrator wishes to reconnect with a past lover. The opening lines, "Hoje eu queria te encontrar / Pra adoçar e refrescar minhas memórias sobre nós," set the tone for the song, expressing a desire to revisit and sweeten the memories of their relationship. This longing is further emphasized by the acknowledgment that going back is not easy, as indicated by the line, "Como se fosse fácil voltar atrás."

The song delves into the emotional turmoil of the narrator, who dreams of escaping a bad dream and waking up in the comforting embrace of their lover. The imagery of crying freely in their arms and finding a home in them, "E, ao acordar, eu chore livre em teus braços pra morar / Em qualquer lugar de você," highlights the depth of their emotional connection and the comfort they once found in each other. The repeated plea to "deixar eu te decorar com os meus dedos" symbolizes a desire to intimately reconnect and remember every detail of their lover, fearing the possibility of forgetting them.

As the song progresses, the narrator expresses a willingness to do everything over again, but with a newfound intensity of love, "Mas agora eu amo esse tanto em dobro." This doubling of love signifies a growth in emotional capacity and a deeper appreciation for the relationship, despite the pain and regret. The repetition of this line underscores the narrator's commitment and the enduring strength of their feelings. The song concludes with a hopeful note, as the narrator envisions making their love a home for their partner if they choose to return, "Vou fazer do meu amor a sua casa se você quiser." This blend of longing, regret, and hope makes "Em Dobro" a touching and relatable reflection on the complexities of love and the human heart's resilience.
