Como Um Beijo (feat. Marcos & Belutti)

"Like a Kiss," performed by Marcos & Belutti featuring Nadson o Ferinha, is a song that evokes the nostalgia and sweetness of the initial moments of love, while reflecting on the pain of lost love. It is an ode to the complexity of the emotions that accompany reminiscing about a significant romance and the lasting impact it leaves.

The beginning of the song, "The night I met you / It was just you and me, we had so much to say," immerses the listener in the memory of a remarkable encounter, where the promise of a new connection left much to be explored and shared. These lines not only establish a setting of intimacy and discovery but also capture the excitement and hope that characterize the start of a romantic relationship.

As the song unfolds, the narrator's emotional plea, "No, don't go away, baby / We have so much to live for," reveals a deep desire not to let this love slip through the fingers. There is an urgency in this request, an attempt to hold onto time and resist the currents that threaten to take this love away. These verses serve as the heart of the song, where the commitment to follow the loved one "wherever you go" speaks to the sacrifice and dedication we are willing to make for love.

Further along, the transformation of the lived love into music, "All the love I've lived / I turned into a song / For you to feel like a kiss," is a powerful metaphor illustrating how emotions are immortalized in art. The song becomes a vehicle for love to endure, for every note and every word to be a physical reflection of the intensity and passion that were shared. It is as if, through the music, the narrator could give an eternal kiss, a touch that resonates beyond physical presence.

The conclusion of the song brings a melancholic acceptance of reality: "But time passed by / I waited for a sign that never found me." Here, the narrator acknowledges that despite all the hope and love, not all love stories have a happy ending. However, the music remains as a testimony to what was and what could have been, a bridge between the past and a future where perhaps, in some way, this love might be reignited.

"Like a Kiss" is a reminder that love, even when it ends, leaves an indelible mark on our lives. Through its lyrics, Marcos & Belutti and Nadson o Ferinha invite listeners to reflect on the beauty and brevity of shared moments and how sometimes, all that remains is the music that continues to play long after the love has faded.
