Paixão Errante

Bartô Galeno's song 'Paixão Errante' delves into the tumultuous nature of love and the heartache that often accompanies it. The lyrics speak to a 'vadio' or wandering heart, one that is prone to falling into the traps of fleeting and insincere love. Galeno warns that such a heart will inevitably be left with pain and a cold, empty feeling. The song's narrative suggests that the only constant companion in this journey of errant love is 'saudade,' a deep sense of longing and nostalgia for something lost.

The chorus of the song highlights the emotional turmoil caused by a love that is inconsistent and unreliable. The repetition of the lines 'Foste assim brincar com os meus olhos' and 'Me perdi naquele olhar' emphasizes the vulnerability and confusion experienced when one is captivated by someone who does not reciprocate the same level of affection. This unbalanced dynamic leads to a state of being 'perdido no amor,' or lost in love, where the heart is caught between moments of being loved and unloved.

The final verses underscore the transient nature of such a passion, referring to it as 'paixão errante' or wandering passion. The lyrics 'Eu quis e você quis e ela não quis mais' reflect the frustration and helplessness felt when love is not mutual or enduring. Galeno's poignant portrayal of love as a fleeting and often painful experience resonates with anyone who has faced the challenges of unrequited or unstable affection. The song serves as a reminder to guard one's heart against the whims of a love that is merely passing through.
