Infinito
Walmir Borges
Longing for Connection in the Infinite
Walmir Borges' song "Infinito" delves into the profound emotions of longing and desire for a loved one who seems distant and elusive. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the narrator's yearning to reconnect with someone who is not physically present. The opening lines, "Onde está agora, não sei onde procurar / Um sinal apenas d’onde eu possa te encontrar," express a sense of confusion and desperation, as the narrator searches for any sign or clue to find their beloved. This sets the tone for a journey through the emotional landscape of separation and the hope for reunion.
The metaphor of the "infinite" is central to the song, suggesting that the connection between the narrator and their loved one transcends physical boundaries. The line "Em um canto do infinito posso te sentir" implies that, despite the physical distance, there is a spiritual or emotional connection that remains intact. However, the narrator's desire for a tangible presence is evident in the plea for the loved one to be near, to feel their warmth and presence: "Mas é bem melhor pra mim, ter por perto corpo inteiro pra me queimar com teu calor." This juxtaposition of the infinite and the physical highlights the depth of the narrator's longing.
The song also touches on themes of frustration and impatience with the loved one's evasiveness. The lines "Não dá mais pra rolar, esse seu lance de fugir / Acho que já demorou, pra você ligar" convey a sense of urgency and a plea for the loved one to stop avoiding the relationship. The narrator's determination is clear as they express their willingness to go to great lengths to bring the loved one back: "Se você ficar tão longe, eu vou voando pra trazer você pra mim." This determination underscores the importance of the relationship and the narrator's commitment to overcoming any obstacles to be together.
Overall, "Infinito" is a heartfelt exploration of love, longing, and the desire for connection. It captures the emotional intensity of missing someone deeply and the hope for a reunion that transcends physical distance.
