Romance (part. Jorge e Mateus)

The song 'Romance' by Humberto e Ronaldo, featuring Jorge e Mateus, delves into the complexities of seeking genuine love and connection in a world where superficiality often prevails. The lyrics express a yearning for closeness and a desire to understand the other person's whereabouts and thoughts, especially on love. The repeated invitation to 'come closer' suggests an eagerness to bridge the emotional distance and foster a deeper relationship.

The chorus presents a stark contrast between different desires one might seek in a relationship. The line 'Tá afim de um romance, compra um livro' (If you want a romance, buy a book) implies that if someone is looking for a mere story or fantasy, they should turn to fiction. The phrase 'Se quer felicidade vem me ver de novo' (If you want happiness, come see me again) indicates that the singer offers joy and companionship. However, the emphasis on 'Mas se quer amor' (But if you want love) underscores the singer's readiness to provide something more profound and meaningful than just a fleeting romance or temporary happiness.

The song's message is clear: true love is about more than just the thrill of romance or the pursuit of happiness—it's about a deep, enduring connection. Humberto e Ronaldo, known for their sertanejo music—a genre that often explores themes of love, heartache, and rural life—use this song to distinguish between the superficial and the substantial, advocating for a love that is present and real in one's life.
