Olha

In 'Olha,' Roberto Carlos crafts a poignant narrative of longing and admiration. The song opens with the singer addressing a person who embodies everything he has ever dreamed of. Despite the person's apparent flaws and a head full of problems, the singer finds beauty and hope in their eyes. This admiration is not just superficial; it brings back memories and unfulfilled dreams from the singer's past, adding layers of nostalgia and introspection to the song.

The lyrics also reveal a sense of distance and unattainability. The person he admires lives 'tão distante,' or 'so distant,' beyond what he can have. This distance is not just physical but emotional and existential, highlighting the singer's feelings of inadequacy and his past inconsistency in relationships. However, he makes a heartfelt promise that his love is now genuine and unwavering, a significant shift from his previous inconstancy.

The chorus is a plea for companionship and love. The singer invites the person to join him on his journey, to be his lover and partner, and to live a life filled with love. This invitation is repeated, emphasizing his deep desire for a shared life. The repetition of 'vem comigo aonde eu for' (come with me wherever I go) underscores his commitment and the depth of his yearning. The song beautifully captures the essence of unfulfilled love, the hope for a future together, and the transformative power of genuine affection.
