Vida de Amante

“Vida de Amante” by Tempero delves into the complex and often painful experience of being a lover in a clandestine relationship. The song captures the duality of emotions that come with such a relationship—being close yet distant, experiencing both joy and sorrow. The lyrics poignantly describe the heartache of being near someone you love without being able to fully express that love. This emotional turmoil is encapsulated in the line, “Estar ao teu lado, sem te tocar” (Being by your side, without touching you), which highlights the physical and emotional barriers that lovers often face.

The song also touches on the anticipation and excitement that build up before each secret meeting. The protagonist counts the days until they can be together, feeling a mix of joy and dizziness when the moment finally arrives. This fleeting happiness is contrasted with the inevitable return to reality, where the lover's heart belongs solely to the protagonist during their brief encounters. The lyrics, “Sinto o teu coração só meu” (I feel your heart only mine), emphasize the temporary yet intense connection they share.

In the chorus, the song explores the physical and emotional intensity of their relationship. The repeated lines, “Você me pede mais, transamos outra vez” (You ask me for more, we make love again), and “Amor, tesão que não tem fim” (Love, desire that has no end), underscore the insatiable passion that defines their bond. However, this passion comes at a cost, as hinted by the line, “A conta vai chegar, não quero nem saber” (The bill will come, I don't even want to know), suggesting that there are consequences to their actions that they choose to ignore in the heat of the moment.

“Vida de Amante” is a raw and honest portrayal of the highs and lows of being in a secretive, passionate relationship. It captures the essence of forbidden love, where moments of intense connection are interspersed with periods of longing and heartache.
