Promessa

Roberto Carlos' song 'Promessa' is a heartfelt declaration of enduring love, even in the face of physical separation. The lyrics convey a deep sense of commitment and loyalty, as the singer promises to remain true to his beloved despite the distance that will soon separate them.

The song opens with the acknowledgment of an impending separation, but the singer immediately reassures his lover that his sincerity and love will not waver. The line 'Pois nem mesmo a distância consegue fazer / Eu de ti, meu amor, esquecer' (For not even distance can make me forget you, my love) highlights the strength of his feelings and his determination to keep the flame of their love alive. This sentiment is further emphasized in the chorus, where he vows that his heart will belong to no one else, having already given his life to her.

In the final verse, the singer asks his beloved to wait for him with a smile, promising that they will share another kiss and that he will be hers forever. This promise of eternal love is a powerful and romantic gesture, encapsulating the essence of the song. Roberto Carlos' 'Promessa' is a beautiful testament to the power of love to transcend physical boundaries and remain steadfast through time and distance.
