Foi Bom Esperar

In 'Foi Bom Esperar,' Rodox delves into themes of longing, memory, and the profound connections that shape our lives. The song opens with the imagery of a train passing through another city, a metaphor for the passage of time and the journey of life. This train triggers memories, making the narrator reflect on past experiences and the significant absence felt from a previous relationship. The lyrics convey a sense of nostalgia and the irreplaceable nature of certain moments and people in our lives.

The chorus emphasizes the importance of patience and the clarity it brings. The narrator realizes that waiting has allowed them to see the truth more clearly. The line 'Foi bom esperar' (It was good to wait) suggests that the time apart has given them a deeper understanding of what truly matters. The song highlights the idea that what we carry with us in the end is the truth, and genuine connections are invaluable. The act of touching, even without words, conveys emotions and truths that are otherwise inexpressible, emphasizing the depth of human connection.

Rodox's lyrics also touch on the theme of shared origins and equality. The line 'Foi do mesmo barro que eu vim, nada nos faz diferente' (We came from the same clay, nothing makes us different) speaks to the commonality of human experience. Despite the differences that may seem to separate us, we are fundamentally the same. This message of unity and shared humanity is a powerful reminder of the bonds that connect us all, regardless of our individual journeys.
