Por Causa do Amor

In 'Por Causa do Amor,' Os Nonatos delve into the complexities and emotional turbulence that love can bring into one's life. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of the highs and lows experienced in the name of love. The opening lines, 'Por causa do amor, eu já cantei chorando,' set the tone for a narrative filled with vulnerability and heartache. The singer confesses to having sung through tears and built walls out of insecurity, highlighting the defensive mechanisms people often adopt to protect themselves from emotional pain.

The song continues to explore the duality of human nature through the metaphor of playing both Jesus and Judas. This juxtaposition signifies the internal conflict and the roles one might assume in relationships, oscillating between savior and betrayer.

The repeated refrain of having 'engoli sapo por outras pessoas'—a Brazilian expression meaning to endure unpleasant situations for the sake of others—underscores the sacrifices made in the name of love. Ultimately, the song concludes with a powerful statement: 'Só não fiz morrer por causa do amor,' indicating that while love has brought immense challenges, it has also been the reason for survival and perseverance.
