Sim (feat. Jão)

In 'Sim,' Nando Reis, featuring Jão, crafts a poignant narrative of longing and desire. The song opens with a powerful declaration of love at first sight, where the protagonist is immediately captivated by the object of their affection. The lyrics, 'desde que eu te vi eu te quis,' translate to 'since I saw you, I wanted you,' setting the tone for an intense emotional journey. The protagonist's desire is so profound that they metaphorically build an altar, symbolizing the reverence and sanctity of their feelings. This act of creating an altar underscores the almost divine nature of their love, elevating it to a spiritual plane.

The recurring imagery of an angel who has fallen from the sky adds a layer of celestial beauty to the song. This angel, who 'não estava voando' (wasn't flying) and 'distraiu-se' (got distracted), represents a love that is both otherworldly and grounded in human imperfection. The angel's fall signifies a moment of vulnerability and distraction, mirroring the protagonist's own emotional state. This metaphor beautifully captures the duality of love—its ability to elevate and yet make one vulnerable.

As the song progresses, the protagonist expresses a deep yearning to return to this celestial state, to be reunited with their love. The repetition of 'eu quero voltar lá do céu' (I want to return from the sky) and 'eu quero ter você quando estiver de volta' (I want to have you when I'm back) emphasizes their longing and the sense of incompleteness they feel in the absence of their beloved. The song concludes with a resolute 'não dou pra ficar só' (I can't stay alone), highlighting the protagonist's need for companionship and the irreplaceable nature of their love. Through its poetic lyrics and evocative metaphors, 'Sim' beautifully encapsulates the essence of longing, love, and the human desire for connection.
