Apenas Desejo

In 'Apenas Desejo,' Sorriso Maroto delves into the painful realization that a once passionate relationship has reached its end. The song opens with a sense of finality, acknowledging that it's too late to mend the broken pieces. The lyrics convey a deep sense of regret and sorrow, highlighting how difficult it has become to find happiness in a relationship that has lost its spark. The use of phrases like 'É tarde pra gente voltar' (It's too late for us to go back) and 'Tá tão difícil ser feliz' (It's so hard to be happy) sets a melancholic tone, emphasizing the emotional struggle of accepting the end of a love story.

The song further explores the emotional wounds inflicted by harsh words and intentional hurt. The line 'Foram palavras de doer' (They were hurtful words) suggests that the relationship was marred by conflict and pain, leading to the dissolution of the illusion of love.

This poignant reflection on the end of a relationship resonates with anyone who has experienced the heartache of unreciprocated love, making 'Apenas Desejo' a powerful and relatable ballad.
