Outra vez

Saulo Fernandes' song 'Outra vez' is a poignant exploration of longing and the deep sense of loss that accompanies separation from a loved one. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of sleepless nights and the aching absence of a comforting presence. The repetition of 'Outra noite sem você' (Another night without you) underscores the relentless passage of time and the enduring pain of being apart. This refrain sets the tone for the entire song, emphasizing the emotional void left by the absence of a significant other.

The song delves into the protagonist's inner world, where he attempts to find solace by conjuring memories of his beloved. The lines 'Fecho os olhos me concentro / Talvez o pensamento me mostre um filme seu' (I close my eyes and concentrate / Maybe my thoughts will show me a movie of you) reveal a desperate attempt to reconnect with the past and find comfort in the imagined presence of the loved one. This mental escape serves as a temporary reprieve from the harsh reality of loneliness, highlighting the power of memory and imagination in coping with emotional pain.

Fernandes' lyrics also express a deep desire to protect and support the loved one, as seen in 'Te aconselhar como amigo / Te livrar do perigo' (To advise you as a friend / To save you from danger). This protective instinct underscores the depth of the protagonist's feelings and his longing to be a source of strength and comfort. The song culminates in a heartfelt plea for reunion, with the lines 'Queria ficar com você / Se for pra enlouquecer que seja do seu lado' (I wanted to stay with you / If I'm going to go crazy, let it be by your side) encapsulating the intense yearning for reconnection and the willingness to face any challenge as long as it means being together.
