Riding the Waves of Love and Loss: An Analysis of Tennaz's 'Onda'

Tennaz's song 'Onda' delves into the emotional turmoil of a relationship that has recently ended, exploring themes of regret, longing, and the cyclical nature of love. The lyrics express the protagonist's feelings of insecurity and confusion following his partner's departure. He reflects on his own mistakes and the suddenness of the breakup, which left him without a chance for a proper conversation or closure.

The recurring metaphor of the 'wave' in the chorus ('Ela vai e vem na onda') symbolizes the ups and downs of relationships and emotions. This imagery captures the unpredictable, often uncontrollable nature of love, which comes and goes like ocean waves. The protagonist's plea for another chance ('Dá uma chance') underscores his desperation and the hope that love can be rekindled, despite the current strife.

Culturally, the song incorporates elements of Portuguese language and African rhythms, characteristic of Tennaz's style, which blends traditional influences with modern beats. The use of colloquial phrases ('Foi no boda e gostou doutro wi') adds authenticity and relatability, painting a vivid picture of the protagonist's social context and personal dilemmas. This song not only tells a story of personal heartache but also resonates with anyone who has experienced the tumultuous waves of love.
