Suspiros

In 'Suspiros,' Manu Gavassi captures the essence of unrequited love and the intense emotions that come with it. The song's title, which translates to 'Sighs,' sets the tone for a narrative filled with longing and desire. Gavassi's lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who is deeply infatuated with another person, despite not knowing them well. This infatuation is so overwhelming that it consumes the narrator's thoughts and emotions, leaving them in a state of constant yearning.

The lyrics delve into the narrator's internal struggle as they try to cope with their feelings. Lines like 'Suspiros já não cabem mais dentro de mim' (Sighs no longer fit inside me) and 'Eu não consigo te tirar do meu pensamento' (I can't get you out of my mind) highlight the intensity of their emotions. The narrator's imagination runs wild as they envision the object of their affection's smile and dream of simple interactions, such as receiving a morning phone call. This longing is further emphasized by the repeated plea, 'Me diz o que é que eu faço pra te ter aqui comigo' (Tell me what I have to do to have you here with me).

The song also touches on the pain of seeing the person they desire with someone else. The line 'Se eu te ver com outra, eu vou passar mal' (If I see you with someone else, I'll feel sick) underscores the narrator's vulnerability and the depth of their feelings. Despite the intensity of their emotions, the narrator admits to hiding their true feelings, as seen in 'Se alguém me perguntar se eu te quero, eu minto' (If someone asks me if I want you, I lie). This internal conflict between desire and fear of rejection is a common theme in love songs, making 'Suspiros' relatable to anyone who has experienced unrequited love.
