Nem É Bom Lembrar

The song 'Nem É Bom Lembrar' by the Brazilian sertanejo duo Zezé Di Camargo & Luciano delves into the theme of fleeting love and the pain of remembering a past relationship. The lyrics express the idea that a true and profound love cannot be found in casual encounters or superficial relationships. The song suggests that what one might experience in such situations are mere passions that can deceive the heart, and once they are over, they are best left forgotten.

The narrator reflects on a past love, recalling the person during a rainy day, indicating that the memories are still vivid and impactful. The love they shared was pure and filled with dreams of a future together. However, the relationship is likened to a river that is insufficient for someone seeking the vastness of the sea, implying that their love, although deep, was not enough for the aspirations of the other person. This metaphor highlights the disparity in what each partner sought from the relationship.

The song's chorus describes the past lover as a 'vendaval' (whirlwind), suggesting a tumultuous and possibly destructive force that left a significant emotional impact. Despite this, the narrator claims to have moved on, having managed to stop loving the person and no longer wanting to remember them. This assertion of emotional recovery and the desire to forget the past pain gives the song a bittersweet resolution, acknowledging the hurt while also showing a determination to heal and move forward.
