Faz Um Ano

In 'Faz Um Ano,' Chitãozinho & Xororó delve into the depths of heartache and longing. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who has been suffering from the pain of separation for an entire year. The opening lines express a deep sense of sorrow and a yearning to reunite with a lost love. The repetition of 'noite e dia' (night and day) emphasizes the relentless nature of this suffering, highlighting how the pain is a constant companion.

The song also evokes a sense of nostalgia and lost moments. The mention of the 'palmeira' (palm tree) and 'gruta três-Maria' (Three Marys grotto) serves as a poignant reminder of happier times spent together. These places are not just physical locations but symbols of the love and memories that were once shared. The fading verses of love carved into the tree trunk signify the passage of time and the erosion of those cherished memories, adding another layer of melancholy to the song.

As the song progresses, the singer's despair becomes more palpable. The imagery of another day ending and another night approaching, coupled with the 'suspiro' (sigh) and 'lágrima perdida' (lost tear), encapsulates the endless cycle of sorrow and longing. The chorus reiterates the central theme of enduring pain and unfulfilled desire, making 'Faz Um Ano' a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the passage of time.
