Por Te Amar Assim

Marlon & Maicon's song 'Por Te Amar Assim' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that is both intense and unattainable. The protagonist is consumed by feelings for someone who is seemingly out of reach, creating a storm within his soul that never calms. This tempestuous love is described as unexpected, yet it has taken a firm hold on him, leaving him yearning and desperate.

The song's chorus highlights the protagonist's willingness to wait a lifetime for the object of his affection, even if it means enduring immense suffering. The phrase 'A felicidade é o meu castigo' (Happiness is my punishment) encapsulates the paradox of his situation. He is tormented by the happiness he feels when he dreams of being with her, knowing that this dream may never become a reality. This unfulfilled desire is a recurring theme, as he longs to kiss her lips and touch her skin, but is painfully aware that these desires may remain unfulfilled.

The imagery of walking a tightrope and following her like a shadow underscores the precariousness and obsession of his love. He is trapped in a cycle of longing and despair, counting the seconds until she might be his. The passage of time only intensifies his feelings, as he remains 'guardado nesse sentimento' (kept in this feeling). The song poignantly captures the essence of unrequited love, where the intensity of emotion is matched only by the depth of the protagonist's suffering.
