Cantares

Ronaldo Miranda's song 'Cantares' is a delicate and poetic exploration of love's arrival. The lyrics express a longing for a love that comes naturally and gently, without force or haste. The repeated phrase 'Que venha, se tiver de vir' (Let it come, if it has to come) sets the tone for a love that is patient and unhurried, emphasizing the importance of allowing love to unfold in its own time. This sentiment is further highlighted by the imagery of a love that is 'brando como a brisa imaterial da madrugada' (gentle as the immaterial breeze of dawn), suggesting a love that is subtle and almost ethereal.

The song continues to paint a picture of a love that is more about the quiet moments and the unspoken connections than grand gestures. The line 'Mais feito de olhar que de contato' (More made of looks than of contact) underscores the idea of a love that is deeply felt and understood through silent communication and mutual understanding. This kind of love is portrayed as calm and serene, much like a boat gliding silently on a current, emphasizing the beauty of simplicity and the power of presence.

Miranda also touches on the idea of a love that is forward-looking and hopeful. The lyrics 'Mais feito de futuro que presente' (More made of future than present) suggest a love that is not confined to the present moment but is filled with promise and potential. This love is described as 'pobre como as aves imigrantes, sem pousada' (poor like immigrant birds, without a resting place), indicating a love that is free and unburdened by material concerns, yet rich in its emotional and spiritual depth. The song concludes with an open invitation for this love to come, whether it arrives on its own or through another person, encapsulating the essence of a love that is both awaited and welcomed with open arms.
