Ainda Te Amo
Biollo
The Lingering Ache of Unrequited Love
In Biollo's song 'Ainda Te Amo,' the artist delves into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and the struggle to move on. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of regret and longing, as the narrator reflects on their past mistakes, admitting to being 'burra demais' (too foolish) for not fighting for the relationship. This self-awareness and vulnerability set the tone for the song, highlighting the deep emotional scars left by lost love.
The chorus reveals a complex mix of emotions. On one hand, the narrator wishes their former lover happiness and offers support as a friend, saying 'Se precisar de amigo eu tô aqui' (If you need a friend, I'm here). However, this offer is immediately undercut by the painful admission that they still harbor strong feelings, making true friendship impossible. The line 'Como vou ser sua amiga se ainda te amo e te quero demais?' (How can I be your friend if I still love you and want you so much?) encapsulates the internal conflict between wanting to be there for someone and the agony of unreciprocated love.
The song concludes with a sense of resignation and a painful but necessary step towards healing. The narrator advises their ex to 'apaga o meu número' (delete my number) as a means to move on, acknowledging that this is the only way they managed to forget. This final act of erasure symbolizes the difficult process of letting go, even when the heart still clings to the past. Biollo's poignant lyrics and heartfelt delivery make 'Ainda Te Amo' a relatable anthem for anyone grappling with the complexities of love and loss.
