Amar Seus Defeitos

“Amar Seus Defeitos” by Os Nonatos is a heartfelt ode to loving someone for who they truly are, imperfections and all. The song's lyrics emphasize the beauty of authenticity and the fear of losing that genuine connection if the person were to change. The narrator expresses a deep appreciation for their partner's natural beauty, urging them to avoid artificial enhancements like makeup or jewelry. This sentiment is captured in lines like “Seu rosto é perfeito, sem nenhum retoque” (Your face is perfect, without any retouch) and “Você usa jóia, se a jóia é você” (You wear jewelry, but the jewel is you).

The song also delves into the fear of change, particularly how altering one's appearance or character could affect the relationship. The repeated lines “Eu tenho medo de você mudar / E a outra pessoa não me apaixonar” (I’m afraid of you changing / And not falling in love with the other person) highlight this anxiety. The narrator values the essence of their partner, believing that true beauty and love lie in natural, unaltered qualities. This is further emphasized with the lines “Quem muda o caráter, muda a consciência / É essencial manter a essência” (Who changes their character, changes their conscience / It’s essential to maintain the essence).

Os Nonatos, known for their poetic and often philosophical lyrics, use this song to celebrate simplicity and the intrinsic value of being oneself. The song suggests that true love is about accepting and cherishing each other's flaws and virtues alike. It’s a reminder that the most profound connections are built on authenticity and the courage to remain true to oneself, even in a world that often values superficial changes.
