The Bittersweet Farewell in 'Assim Será' by Los Hermanos
In 'Assim Será,' Los Hermanos delve into the complex emotions surrounding a painful yet inevitable farewell. The song's protagonist is preparing to leave, acknowledging that the separation is necessary despite the deep sadness it brings. The opening lines, 'Assim que quer, assim será / Eu vou pra não voltar,' set the tone for a definitive departure. The act of returning a ring symbolizes the end of a significant relationship, one that once held the promise of eternal love, represented by 'O céu, o sol e o mar' (the sky, the sun, and the sea).
The lyrics also explore the hope for future happiness, albeit apart. The protagonist wishes for their former lover to find joy and love again, 'Vai te levar leve a vagar / Prum lar de fina-flor,' suggesting a future filled with beauty and light. However, this hope is tinged with personal sorrow, as the protagonist admits they cannot imagine loving anyone else, 'Eu vou mas não me peça pra amar outra mulher que não você.' This line underscores the depth of their love and the pain of letting go.
The song's melancholic tone is further emphasized in the final verse, where the protagonist reflects on the difficulty of moving on. 'Como vai ser ruim demais / Olhar o tempo, ir sem / Ver os seus abraços, seus sorrisos ou suas rimas de amor,' captures the agony of imagining a future devoid of the beloved's presence. The imagery of time passing without the joy of shared moments highlights the enduring impact of the relationship. 'Assim Será' is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the bittersweet nature of moving forward while holding onto cherished memories.
