The Cyclical Nature of Love and Heartbreak in 'Lágrimas Vão e Vêm'

Wesley Safadão's song 'Lágrimas Vão e Vêm' delves into the emotional turbulence of love and heartbreak. The lyrics narrate a story of unrequited love and the subsequent emotional journey. The protagonist initially finds themselves in a relationship where their partner still harbors feelings for someone else. This leads to a painful breakup, leaving the protagonist heartbroken and adrift, symbolized by the phrase 'jogado ao vento' (thrown to the wind).

As time passes, the protagonist meets someone new and begins to heal. They start to develop a connection with this new person, who eventually falls in love with them. However, the protagonist's heart remains guarded, unable to fully commit due to lingering feelings for their past love. This emotional conflict is poignantly captured in the line 'meu coração não quis se entregar' (my heart didn't want to surrender).

The chorus of the song, 'Eu vi que as lágrimas vão e vêm, como as ondas do mar vêm e vão' (I saw that tears come and go, like the waves of the sea come and go), serves as a metaphor for the cyclical nature of emotions. The protagonist realizes that they have inadvertently repeated the same actions that once hurt them, highlighting the often repetitive and unpredictable nature of love and heartbreak. The song ends on a contemplative note, questioning whether this cycle will ever end or if they are doomed to always yearn for someone unattainable while neglecting those who care for them.
