Ainda Existe Amor Em Nós
Sorriso Maroto
The Lingering Love in Separation
Sorriso Maroto's song "Ainda Existe Amor Em Nós" delves into the complexities of a relationship in a state of separation. The lyrics paint a picture of two individuals who, despite being apart, have promised to respect each other and refrain from seeking new romantic partners. This mutual agreement underscores the lingering love that still exists between them, even though they are physically separated. The repeated line, "No fundo, é que bem no fundo, ainda existe amor em nós" (Deep down, there is still love in us), highlights the enduring emotional connection that remains intact despite the distance.
The song also explores the theme of pride and indecision. The couple is described as being upset and seeking time apart as a form of healing. However, this period of separation is also marked by a game of who will make the first move, revealing the pride that still exists within them. The line, "No fundo, é que bem no fundo, ainda existe orgulho em nós" (Deep down, there is still pride in us), suggests that their pride is a barrier to reconciliation, even though their love persists.
Metaphors such as the fogging of glass and the setting sun are used to symbolize moments of clarity and reflection. When the glass fogs up and the sun sets, these are moments when the couple can truly understand their feelings for each other. The protagonist's declaration of being a "bobo apaixonado" (a foolish lover) emphasizes the depth of his affection and his unwavering commitment to his partner, despite the challenges they face. The song ultimately conveys a message of hope and enduring love, suggesting that their bond will prevail over time and distance.
