Por Tão Pouco

In 'Por Tão Pouco,' Péricles delves into the deep emotional turmoil that follows the end of a passionate relationship. The song's title, which translates to 'For So Little,' sets the stage for a narrative of regret and sorrow over a love lost for seemingly trivial reasons. The lyrics convey a sense of suffocating pain and madness that accompanies the realization of what has been lost. The phrase 'Foi de enlouquecer' (It was maddening) encapsulates the overwhelming nature of this emotional experience.

The song's verses reflect on the remnants of a once-intense love affair, now reduced to memories and solitude. Péricles sings about the lingering passion that remains despite the separation, highlighting the difficulty of moving on. The line 'Tanta paixão que ficou pra trás' (So much passion left behind) underscores the depth of the connection that has been severed. The recurring question 'Onde anda o seu coração?' (Where is your heart?) reveals a longing for understanding and reconciliation, emphasizing the singer's ongoing emotional attachment.

Dreams and memories play a significant role in the narrative, as Péricles describes how thoughts of the lost love continue to haunt him. The dream mentioned in 'Hoje eu sonhei com você' (Today I dreamed of you) symbolizes the persistent presence of the past relationship in his mind.

This emotional landscape is further enriched by the artist's soulful delivery, which adds layers of authenticity and vulnerability to the lyrics. Through 'Por Tão Pouco,' Péricles offers a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the enduring impact of cherished memories.
