Abandonado

Thiaguinho's song 'Abandonado' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of longing and unfulfilled love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man who feels utterly abandoned and incomplete without his significant other. The repetitive 'Lá lá ia' at the beginning and end of the song sets a melancholic tone, almost like a chant of sorrow, emphasizing the depth of his feelings.

The protagonist describes his heart as 'despreparado' (unprepared) and 'dá pulo' (jumps) when near his love, highlighting the intense physical and emotional reactions he experiences. This visceral response underscores the powerful connection he feels, which only grows stronger with time. The mention of remembering her 'voz tão rouca' (so husky voice) when kissing another person adds a layer of complexity, indicating that his attempts to move on are futile as he is constantly reminded of her.

The chorus reveals his desperation and internal conflict. Despite his efforts to forget and move on, he finds himself waiting every night, yearning for her touch and the 'carinho gostoso, amor venenoso' (delicious affection, poisonous love). This juxtaposition of pleasure and pain encapsulates the essence of his struggle. The plea for a night of love, even if it means suffering later, shows his willingness to embrace temporary happiness over prolonged heartache. Thiaguinho's soulful delivery and the poignant lyrics make 'Abandonado' a powerful exploration of love, longing, and the human condition.
