NÃO VOU FALAR DE AMOR

Lagum's song 'NÃO VOU FALAR DE AMOR' is a poignant exploration of the complexities and contradictions inherent in love and emotional vulnerability. The lyrics reveal a narrator who is adamant about not discussing love, claiming a disinterest in anyone and a desire to avoid problems. This repeated declaration, 'Eu não vou falar de amor, não,' serves as a defensive mechanism, shielding the narrator from the pain and complications that love can bring.

The song delves deeper into the narrator's internal conflict, particularly when it comes to a specific person. The lines about the person's eyes and mouth suggest that these features reveal truths and emotions the narrator is not ready to confront. The eyes 'show what I didn't want to see,' and the mouth 'makes me say what I'm afraid to say,' indicating a struggle between the desire to express feelings and the fear of vulnerability.

Despite the narrator's insistence on not talking about love, the song is filled with contradictions. The admission of trying to hide feelings and the difficulty of not thinking about the person reveal an underlying attachment. The lyrics, 'It's easy not to talk about us, but it's almost impossible not to remember us,' highlight the internal battle between wanting to move on and being unable to forget. This tension is further emphasized by the repeated refrain, which underscores the narrator's attempt to convince themselves of their disinterest while simultaneously revealing the depth of their emotional turmoil.
