Entre Namorados (feat. Miguel Carmona)

Mimi Froes' song 'Entre Namorados,' featuring Miguel Carmona, delves into the themes of self-perception, beauty, and love. The lyrics poignantly explore the internal struggle of feeling inadequate and the yearning to be seen through the eyes of a lover. The protagonist expresses a desire to experience what it feels like to be 'normal' and beautiful, lamenting their perceived imperfections. This sentiment is encapsulated in lines like 'Se ao menos fosse digna de uma beleza tal, Eu saberia qual o sabor de ser normal,' which translates to 'If only I were worthy of such beauty, I would know what it tastes like to be normal.' The repetition of walking through the streets without timidity highlights a longing for confidence and self-acceptance.

The song takes a turn when the perspective shifts to the lover's viewpoint. The lover sees beauty and grace in the protagonist that they themselves cannot see. This is beautifully expressed in the lines 'Se ao menos tu te visses através do meu olhar, Tu saberias quais as razões de eu te amar,' meaning 'If only you could see yourself through my eyes, you would know the reasons why I love you.' The lover's admiration and desire to know every detail of the protagonist's being, including their smile, which 'was born to belong to me,' underscores the theme of unconditional love and acceptance.

The interplay between self-doubt and the lover's affirmations creates a rich narrative about the transformative power of love. The song suggests that true beauty and worth are often hidden from our own eyes but can be revealed through the eyes of those who love us. This dual perspective invites listeners to reflect on their own self-perceptions and the importance of seeing oneself through a lens of love and acceptance.
