Enredo Do Meu Samba
Jorge Aragão/Sandra De Sá Lyrics

The lyrics to Jorge Aragão/Sandra De Sá's song "Enredo Do Meu Samba" express confusion and frustration with a lover's mixed signals. The singer has "marched" down the "passarela" of their heart and spent all the "subvenção," or love and attention, they were given. They feel as though they have been demoted to the "second group" of their lover's affections and cannot understand the "enredo," or plot, of their complicated love. The singer compares their heart to a carnival, with a beautiful costume but lacking in "harmonia," or unity and coherence. They realize too late that they have been living in an illusion of love and have lost the one they truly cared for.

The song's metaphorical language highlights the emotional rollercoaster of romantic love, with carnival imagery representing the excitement and spectacle of a relationship. The lyrics also express a deep longing for clarity and honesty in love, as the singer yearns to understand the lover's true intentions without illusions or confusion. The final lines, "Nas cinzas pude perceber / Na apuração perdi você," convey a sense of regret and sorrow at the loss of something precious.
