Até Mais Ver
Trio Forrozão
A Romantic Longing in the Heart of Forró
“Até Mais Ver” by Trio Forrozão is a heartfelt forró song that captures the essence of longing and romantic desire. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a lover who wishes to be closer to their beloved, expressing a deep yearning to see them every day. The repeated phrase, “Se eu morasse aqui pertinho nega, todo dia eu vinha te ver” (If I lived nearby, darling, I would come to see you every day), underscores the central theme of the song: the desire for proximity and the pain of separation.
The song is rich with cultural references and imagery typical of the forró genre, which originates from the Northeast of Brazil. The mention of bringing a “par de cheiro” (a pair of scents) to the beloved and the invitation to wear a new dress before the rain are evocative of traditional courtship rituals. These elements highlight the simplicity and beauty of rural life, where small gestures carry significant emotional weight. The imagery of the lover picking a sunflower by the stream and singing a beautiful xote (a type of forró dance) while giving affectionate kisses on the neck adds a layer of intimacy and tenderness to the narrative.
The song also captures the passage of time and the inevitability of parting, as seen in the lines “Lá se foi a Lua cheia já é meia noite e meia, até logo, até mais ver” (The full moon has gone, it’s already half past midnight, goodbye, see you later). This bittersweet moment reflects the transient nature of their encounters, making the longing even more poignant. Trio Forrozão’s musical style, characterized by lively accordion melodies and rhythmic beats, enhances the emotional depth of the lyrics, creating a nostalgic and heartfelt listening experience.
