Amor Platônico

Roberta Miranda's song "Amor Platônico" delves into the depths of unrequited love, exploring the pain and persistence of feelings that remain unreciprocated. The lyrics convey a sense of timelessness and reincarnation, suggesting that the narrator has spent multiple lifetimes searching for their beloved. This idea of eternal love is emphasized through phrases like "Quantas eras eu passei" (How many eras I have passed) and "Quantas vidas já vivi" (How many lives I have lived), indicating a love that transcends time and space.

The song also highlights the emotional turmoil and suffering that come with platonic love. The narrator speaks of being expelled from the beloved's life and dreams, and the sorrow of not being heard or acknowledged. The repeated lines "Quanto pranto derramei" (How many tears I have shed) underscore the deep emotional pain experienced in this unfulfilled love. Despite the lack of reciprocation, the narrator's love remains strong and ever-present, described as being in the blood and soul, and even crying out through the wind.

Miranda's lyrics also touch on the mystical and mysterious aspects of love. The references to the mysteries between heaven and earth and the idea that the wind can convey the narrator's feelings add a layer of spiritual and metaphysical depth to the song. This suggests that love is not just a physical or emotional experience but also a profound, almost supernatural connection that defies logical explanation. The song captures the essence of longing, hope, and the enduring nature of true love, even when it remains unfulfilled.
