Meu Plano

The song 'Meu Plano' by Sorriso Maroto, a Brazilian pagode band known for their romantic lyrics and samba-influenced rhythms, delves into the complexities of love and the futility of trying to control it through plans. The lyrics express the narrator's initial intention to let their partner think and speak freely, suggesting a desire for an open and honest relationship. However, as the song progresses, it becomes clear that the narrator has been making plans for the partner without their knowledge, revealing a deeper level of attachment and perhaps a fear of losing them.

The chorus of the song emphasizes the narrator's willingness to do anything for their partner, highlighting the intensity of their feelings. The narrator is ready to abandon other commitments and desires to ensure the partner stays with them. This level of devotion is met with resistance from the partner, who suggests that it might be better not to make plans at all. This response introduces a tension between the desire for a secure, planned future and the need for freedom and spontaneity in a relationship.

The song concludes with the narrator acknowledging their mistake in thinking that their plans were temporary and realizing that perhaps fate had a hand in bringing the two together. This acceptance of destiny over personal plans underscores the theme of love as an uncontrollable force that cannot be neatly arranged or predicted. 'Meu Plano' captures the emotional turmoil of wanting to secure a relationship while recognizing the importance of letting go and trusting in the natural course of love.
