Piscina

The song 'Piscina' by Tião Carreiro e Pardinho, a renowned Brazilian sertanejo duo, is a poignant narrative that delves into the themes of love, loss, and nostalgia. The lyrics tell the story of a person who built a swimming pool at the request of a loved one. This pool becomes a symbol of their shared memories, especially after the loved one has left. The protagonist clings to the pool as a tangible reminder of the past, preserving the water that once touched their beloved's body.

The act of swimming in the pool, embracing the water, and calling out the absent lover's name illustrates the depth of the protagonist's longing and despair. The pool is personified as a keeper of secrets, a silent witness to the intimate moments they once shared. The imagery of the sun-kissed skin and the angelic presence of the loved one enhances the sense of a cherished and beautiful past that is now painfully out of reach.

The song also touches on the theme of the passage of time and the inevitability of change. The reference to the leaves being swept away by the wind around the pool serves as a metaphor for the protagonist's own feelings of being discarded and left behind. The water that cannot wash away the sorrow in their heart symbolizes the enduring pain of separation. The final lines, which speak of drying the pool in the sun of longing for a lost love, poignantly convey the emptiness and futility of trying to move on from a deep emotional connection that has been severed.
