Quem É Você?

Sandra de Sá's song 'Quem É Você?' delves deep into the themes of love, memory, and the passage of time. The lyrics paint a poignant picture of someone who has been waiting for a long-lost love, reflecting on the emotional journey and the enduring hope that has kept them going. The repeated question 'Quem é você?' (Who are you?) suggests a sense of mystery and longing, as the narrator tries to reconcile the past with the present.

The song speaks to the universal experience of waiting for love and the pain that comes with it. The lines 'Cansado de amar, cansado de tanta espera' (Tired of loving, tired of so much waiting) capture the exhaustion that often accompanies unfulfilled love. Yet, there is a sense of unwavering faith and resilience, as the narrator declares, 'Nunca me cansei de esperar' (I never got tired of waiting). This juxtaposition of weariness and hope is a powerful testament to the strength of the human spirit in the face of emotional trials.

Sandra de Sá's soulful delivery adds depth to the lyrics, making the listener feel the weight of each word. The song also touches on the transformative power of time, as seen in the lines 'Quem diz adeus / Não sabe que o tempo / Transforma em sim / O não do silêncio' (Who says goodbye / Doesn't know that time / Turns the no of silence / Into a yes). This suggests that love, even when it seems lost, can be rekindled with time and patience. The song ultimately conveys a message of enduring love and the belief that true love will find its way back, no matter how long it takes.
