Grito de Amor

The song "Grito de Amor" by Felipe e Falcão is a poignant expression of unrequited love and the deep yearning to be heard and reciprocated. The lyrics open with a rhetorical question about the necessity of permission to speak of love, suggesting that love is an innate and powerful emotion that demands to be expressed openly and without restraint. The singer proclaims a willingness to always shout the name of the beloved, indicating a passionate and unabashed declaration of love.

As the song progresses, the depth of the singer's feelings is revealed. The love described is not a fleeting infatuation but a profound emotion that has been nurtured since childhood. The singer understands the importance of love and claims to know how to love because of the intensity of their feelings for the other person. However, this love is one-sided, as the object of affection seems indifferent, not seeing or caring for the singer's emotions. This indifference is a source of pain and frustration for the singer, who despite the lack of reciprocation, cannot help but continue to love intensely.

The chorus of the song is a desperate plea for the beloved to listen to the singer's 'grito de amor,' or 'shout of love.' The repetition of 'Ai... ai... ai...' followed by declarations of how the love consumes the singer and the desire to make love with the beloved, underscores the urgency and intensity of the singer's emotions. The song captures the essence of unrequited love, the agony of loving someone who does not return your feelings, and the relentless hope that one day they might listen and respond to your love.
