Condicional

Los Hermanos' song 'Condicional' delves into the complex emotions of love, freedom, and self-discovery. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship where the narrator grapples with the tension between holding on and letting go. The opening lines, 'Quis nunca te perder / Tanto que demais,' suggest a deep fear of loss, leading the narrator to see the sky in everything and make the harbor for their beloved. This metaphor of anchoring someone reflects the desire to provide stability and security, yet it also hints at the potential for possessiveness and control.

As the song progresses, the narrator reflects on the sacrifices made in the name of love, 'Eu quis ter os pés no chão / Tanto eu abri mão.' This line reveals the internal conflict of wanting to stay grounded while giving up personal dreams and aspirations. The realization that 'Sonho não se dá / É botão de flor' underscores the idea that dreams are delicate and personal, not something to be handed over or shared unconditionally. The bittersweet nature of love is encapsulated in the chorus, 'Eu sei, é um doce te amar / O amargo é querer-te pra mim,' highlighting the joy of loving someone and the bitterness of wanting them exclusively.

The latter part of the song shifts focus to the narrator's journey of self-discovery and the importance of personal freedom. 'Quis nunca te ganhar / Tanto que forjei / Asas nos teus pés' illustrates the paradox of wanting to set their beloved free while simultaneously longing for their presence. The narrator acknowledges the need to remember who they were before the relationship, 'Do que eu preciso é lembrar, me ver / Antes de te ter e de ser teu.' This introspection leads to the poignant realization that love requires a balance between togetherness and individuality. The closing lines, 'Os dias que eu me vejo só / São dias que eu me encontro mais,' emphasize the value of solitude in understanding oneself and the belief that someone will eventually come to liberate them from their emotional turmoil.
