Príncipe

In Lucas Lucco's song "Príncipe," the artist delves into the complexities of modern romance, shattering the traditional fairy tale narrative. The song opens with a candid admission: the protagonist is not a flawless prince but a regular guy with imperfections. This sets the tone for a more realistic portrayal of love, where the protagonist acknowledges his shortcomings and the absence of grandiose elements like castles and white horses. This honesty is refreshing and relatable, as it mirrors the real-life experiences of many people who strive for love despite their flaws.

The lyrics further explore the duality of the protagonist's nature. He admits that he has the potential to cause pain and tears, yet he is committed to self-improvement. This vulnerability and willingness to change highlight a deeper emotional maturity. The protagonist's desire to write a shared story with his 'princess' signifies a partnership built on mutual growth and understanding. The repeated question, "Será que rola?" (Will it happen?), underscores the uncertainty and hope that often accompany new relationships.

The chorus of the song is a heartfelt declaration of the protagonist's aspirations. He wants to be the 'prince charming' and the 'eternal boyfriend,' waking his beloved with a kiss. However, he is also pragmatic, stating that if he can't be perfect, he will find a way to make things work. This blend of idealism and realism makes the song deeply resonant. It speaks to the universal desire for a love that is both magical and grounded in reality. The repeated phrase "Eu quero ser" (I want to be) emphasizes his earnest commitment to being the best partner he can be, despite his imperfections.
