Eu Só Quero Amor
Márcio Greyck
A Heart's Yearning for Love and Peace
Márcio Greyck's song "Eu Só Quero Amor" is a poignant reflection on the artist's desire for love and peace in a world that often feels hostile and unwelcoming. The lyrics open with Greyck questioning his place in the world, expressing a sense of disillusionment and fatigue. This sentiment is encapsulated in the line, "Eu me perguntei se esse mundo é o meu" (I asked myself if this world is mine), which sets the tone for the rest of the song. The artist's weariness is palpable, and it becomes clear that he is searching for something more meaningful and fulfilling than what his current reality offers.
The recurring refrain, "Eu só quero amar, não ferir ninguém" (I just want to love, not hurt anyone), underscores Greyck's simple yet profound wish for love and harmony. This line is repeated multiple times, emphasizing the purity and sincerity of his desire. The repetition also serves to highlight the contrast between his aspirations and the harshness of the world around him. Greyck's plea for love is not just a personal longing but a universal one, resonating with anyone who has ever felt out of place or yearned for a kinder, more compassionate world.
In the second verse, Greyck introduces a note of hope, suggesting that it is possible to find a place of peace even in a cruel world. "É preciso crer que se pode achar um lugar de paz nesse mundo mau" (It is necessary to believe that one can find a place of peace in this cruel world) reflects a glimmer of optimism amidst the melancholy. This belief in the possibility of finding peace and love is what keeps the artist going, despite the challenges he faces. The song's simplicity and heartfelt message make it a timeless anthem for those who seek love and peace in their lives.
