Só de Imaginar (part. Zé Vaqueiro)

Mari Fernandez's song "Só de Imaginar (feat. Zé Vaqueiro)" delves deep into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and the subsequent journey of self-realization. The lyrics poignantly express the pain and regret of investing one's love in someone who never truly reciprocated those feelings. The repeated lines, "Só de imaginar que eu investi todo meu amor em ti, dói só de pensar," highlight the protagonist's anguish and the emotional toll of having devoted so much to a relationship that was ultimately unfulfilling.

The song also touches on the theme of missed opportunities, as the protagonist laments the love they could have experienced with others. The line, "Que eu me privei de provar amores melhores que o seu, que raiva que dá," underscores the frustration and anger of having sacrificed potential happiness for a love that was never genuine. This sentiment is further emphasized by the desire to turn back time and avoid meeting the person who caused so much heartache.

Ultimately, the song serves as a powerful reminder of the lessons learned from such painful experiences. The protagonist acknowledges that the other person's actions have taught them valuable lessons about love and self-worth. The repeated assertion that the person "nunca soube o que é amar" (never knew what love is) reinforces the idea that true love requires mutual respect and understanding. Through this emotional journey, the protagonist emerges stronger and more self-aware, having learned to value themselves and recognize the importance of genuine love and connection.
