As Rosas Não Falam (feat. Letícia Colin)

In the song "As Rosas Não Falam (feat. Letícia Colin)", performed by Sophie Charlotte, the lyrics delve into the poignant theme of unrequited love and the sorrow that accompanies it. The song opens with a sense of hope as the heart beats again with the end of summer, but this hope is quickly overshadowed by the realization that the loved one will not return. The garden, a recurring motif, symbolizes a place of memories and emotions, where the protagonist returns, knowing that tears are inevitable.

The roses in the garden serve as a metaphor for the protagonist's feelings. When she complains to the roses, she acknowledges the futility of her actions, as roses cannot speak. Instead, they exude a fragrance that metaphorically represents the essence of the loved one. This imagery beautifully captures the idea that the presence of the loved one lingers in the environment, even in their absence. The roses, by exhaling the perfume they 'stole' from the beloved, become silent witnesses to the protagonist's sorrow and longing.

The song also touches on the idea of dreams and unfulfilled desires. The protagonist wishes for the loved one to return, to see her sorrowful eyes, and perhaps, to share in her dreams. This longing for connection and understanding underscores the depth of her emotional pain. The repetition of returning to the garden and the certainty of tears highlights the cyclical nature of her grief, as she is trapped in a loop of hope and despair. Through its evocative lyrics and melancholic tone, "As Rosas Não Falam" poignantly portrays the heartache of unrequited love and the silent language of nature that mirrors human emotions.
