A Gente Só Conhece Quando Termina
Carol Biazin
The Bittersweet Truth of Love's End
Carol Biazin's song "A Gente Só Conhece Quando Termina" delves into the emotional journey of a relationship that has come to an end. The title, which translates to "We Only Know When It Ends," encapsulates the essence of the song – the realization and understanding of a relationship's true nature often only come in hindsight, after it has concluded. The lyrics tell the story of two people who did everything in their power to stay together, yet ultimately, their love story did not have a happy ending.
The song's chorus, which repeats the phrase "Quem sentia amor agora só sente muito" ("Who felt love now only feels sorry"), reflects the transformation of deep affection into regret and sorrow. This change of heart is emphasized by the contrast between the past happiness and the present pain, questioning why, if there was love, one would show their worst to the other. The repetition of this sentiment throughout the song underscores the lingering pain and the difficulty of moving on from a once-cherished relationship.
Carol Biazin's musical style often incorporates emotional depth and introspection, and this song is no exception. It resonates with anyone who has experienced the complexities of love and loss. The lyrics suggest that the true colors of a relationship, and perhaps the individuals within it, are only fully revealed after the romance has ended, leaving behind a mix of memories and lessons learned. The song is a poignant reminder that love can be both beautiful and painful, and that endings, though difficult, can offer valuable insights into ourselves and our relationships.
