Lembranças

Rosa de Saron's song 'Lembranças' delves into the themes of nostalgia, friendship, and self-discovery. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person reflecting on past memories and a significant relationship that continues to impact their life. The song begins with the protagonist reminiscing about the past, indicating that despite the passage of time, the bond with the person they are thinking of remains strong. The line 'Não pense que eu Te esqueci, Eu estou aqui' (Don't think I forgot you, I am here) emphasizes the enduring nature of this connection.

As the song progresses, the protagonist finds themselves awake in the early hours of the morning, unable to sleep. This restlessness leads them to take action, symbolized by making coffee and opening the window to shout out their feelings. The act of shouting 'Aonde Você estiver, estarei' (Wherever you are, I will be) signifies a deep longing and commitment to the person they are addressing. This moment of vulnerability and openness highlights the importance of the relationship in their life.

The song takes a turn towards self-realization as the protagonist decides to leave their comfort zone, pack their bags, and search for the person they miss. This journey is not just physical but also metaphorical, representing a quest for inner peace and understanding. The realization that 'a paz que eu não tinha, Estava aqui dentro' (the peace I didn't have was inside me) marks a pivotal moment of self-awareness. The protagonist acknowledges that they had been lost in illusions but now, with a clear mind, they return home, finding happiness and fulfillment in the process. 'Lembranças' is a heartfelt exploration of the enduring power of friendship and the journey towards self-discovery and inner peace.
