São Amores

Pabllo Vittar's song 'São Amores' delves into the complex and often painful nature of love. The lyrics speak to the experience of a person who is suffering from the aftermath of a toxic relationship. The repetition of the phrase 'São amores' (They are loves) followed by descriptions of love that 'kill,' 'hurt,' 'pain,' and 'embitter' suggests a recognition of the different, often negative, forms that love can take.

The song takes the form of a conversation between the singer and a friend who is going through heartbreak. Vittar's lyrics express concern and empathy, asking the friend how they have been coping and acknowledging the pain they are enduring. The song paints a picture of someone who is deeply affected by a failed relationship, to the point of being unable to sleep and crying in secret. The use of the word 'louca' (crazy) reflects the societal tendency to dismiss intense emotional pain as madness, but Vittar counters this by affirming the friend's worth and beauty.

The latter part of the song shifts towards empowerment and healing. Vittar encourages the friend to stop crying, lift their head, and move on, promising that time will provide perspective and that they will eventually see the relationship for what it was. The message is one of hope and resilience, urging the friend to value themselves more than the painful love they've experienced and to remain open to the possibility of a true and fulfilling love in the future.
