Shakespeare Apaixonado

The song 'Shakespeare Apaixonado' by Swing do Amor is a romantic ballad that delves into the dreamlike experience of love. The lyrics describe a dream where the narrator envisions himself as a prince charming, akin to a modern-day Shakespeare, deeply in love. This metaphor of being a 'Shakespeare apaixonado' (passionate Shakespeare) highlights the intensity and poetic nature of his feelings. The dream is so vivid and beautiful that upon waking, the narrator realizes that his love is not just a figment of his imagination but a reality he cherishes.

The song continues to explore the theme of love through the imagery of a 'reino da cama' (kingdom of the bed), where the narrator and his beloved share intimate moments. This metaphorical kingdom represents a private, sacred space where love and passion flourish. The repetition of the desire to love and be loved every night underscores the narrator's commitment and longing for a continuous, deep connection with his partner.

The chorus reinforces the narrator's plea for his beloved to stay with him, emphasizing his multifaceted role as her 'menino' (boy), 'homem' (man), 'poeta' (poet), and 'sonhador' (dreamer). This blend of roles signifies the depth and versatility of his love, portraying him as both vulnerable and strong, imaginative and grounded. The song's romantic and poetic language, combined with its heartfelt delivery, makes it a touching ode to enduring love and the desire for a lifelong partnership.
