Xeque-Mate
Jorge Vercillo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Decorei o que vim te dizer
Só te olhar já me faz esquecer
Um xadrez racional eu montei
Mas sua rainha é o xeque-mate pro meu rei
O silêncio parece entender
O que os olhos não querem calar

Coisa linda, renasci por te encontrar
Coisa linda, meu dilema é te amar
Ser bem-vinda

A vida que eu sonhei você pode me dar
Eu vim pra me render e te levar
Destinos já traçados pode se mudar
Se o fruto do pecado for amar

Argumentos começam ruir
Armadilha que eu mesmo caí

Coisa linda, renasci por te encontrar
Coisa linda, meu dilema é te amar
Ser bem-vinda

Coisa linda, renasci por te encontrar
Coisa linda, meu dilema é te amar
Ser bem vinda

A vida que eu sonhei você pode me dar
Eu vim pra me render e te levar




Destinos já traçados podem ainda se mudar
Se o fruto do pecado for amar

Overall Meaning

The song "Xeque-Mate" by Jorge Vercillo is a beautiful and complex portrayal of the power of love and the struggles that come with it. The lyrics begin with the singer declaring that he has memorized what he wants to say to the person he loves, but even just looking at them is enough to make him forget. He compares his love to a chess game which he has rationally laid out, but admits that the other person's queen has the power to checkmate his king. The silence between them is heavy, but he also acknowledges that there are some things that the eyes can't hide or keep silent.


The lyrics then take on a more optimistic tone, as the singer declares that finding this person has made him feel reborn. He confesses that loving them has become his dilemma, but he also invites them into his life and dreams, hoping they can fulfill the life he has envisioned. He is willing to surrender himself to this love and take them with him, even if it means changing the paths already set for them. However, he also acknowledges that the arguments and traps of love can quickly dismantle even the best-laid plans.


Overall, the song conveys a sense of vulnerability, uncertainty, and hopefulness that love can bring to us. The chess metaphor adds a layer of complexity, with the queen symbolizing the power and beauty of the person the singer loves, but also the potential for them to control and defeat him in the game of love.
