Na Hora de Amar

In 'Na Hora de Amar,' Simone Mendes delves into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship where one partner feels distant and disconnected. The opening lines, 'Seu olhar sempre está muito longe / Em um lugar que se chama solidão,' set the tone for the song, highlighting the emotional distance and loneliness felt by the narrator. This sense of isolation is further emphasized by the narrator's suspicion that their partner is hiding from their passion, suggesting a lack of reciprocation and emotional investment.

The song continues to explore the narrator's confusion and pain, as they question what they might have done to cause this emotional rift. The lines 'Sempre a voar, pensamento distante / E eu me pergunto: O que foi que fiz?' reflect the narrator's inner turmoil and the unanswered questions that plague them. The partner's distant thoughts and apparent unhappiness add to the narrator's sense of helplessness and sorrow.

The chorus reveals the crux of the issue: the partner's fear of admitting that their love has faded. 'Você deve estar com medo de contar / Que seu amor por mim acabou' speaks to the partner's reluctance to confront the truth, leading to a facade of affection. The repeated lines 'Sempre fingiu, nada sentiu / Na hora de amar' underscore the painful realization that the partner has been pretending all along, leaving the narrator to grapple with the heartbreak of unrequited love. Through poignant lyrics and emotive delivery, Simone Mendes captures the essence of emotional disconnection and the agony of loving someone who no longer feels the same.
