Desejo Imortal

In Michael's song "Desejo Imortal," the lyrics delve into the complexities of a forbidden love affair. The song opens with vivid imagery, as the protagonist closes their eyes and undresses, emphasizing the intimate and sensual nature of their connection. The line "Só sua boca tem o mel" (Only your mouth has the honey) suggests that the lover's kiss is uniquely soothing and fulfilling, providing a sense of calm and euphoria that transports the protagonist to a heavenly state. This metaphor of honey as a source of comfort and pleasure highlights the deep emotional and physical bond between the two lovers.

However, the song takes a poignant turn as the protagonist acknowledges the bittersweet reality of their relationship. The phrase "Surreal e bom demais" (Surreal and too good) captures the dreamlike quality of their encounters, which are both intensely pleasurable and fleeting. The protagonist is painfully aware that their lover is already committed to someone else, leading to feelings of guilt and moral conflict. The repetition of "A gente faz amor e eu me sinto mau" (We make love and I feel bad) underscores the internal struggle and emotional turmoil that accompanies their passionate encounters.

Despite the moral dilemma, the protagonist's desire remains insatiable and unyielding. The declaration "Mas eu quero de novo, o meu desejo é imortal" (But I want it again, my desire is immortal) reveals the depth of their longing and the inescapable nature of their attraction. This line encapsulates the central theme of the song: the eternal and unquenchable desire that persists despite the consequences. Michael's evocative lyrics and emotive delivery bring to life the intense and conflicting emotions experienced in a forbidden love affair, making "Desejo Imortal" a powerful exploration of human desire and moral complexity.
