SEM PRESSA
Lulu Santos Lyrics

In Lulu Santos's song Sem Pressa, the singer recounts an encounter with someone on the street. The singer saw this person walking down the street and filmed them, but they lost them in the crowd. The singer can't shake the memory of this person's distinct way of walking, their look, and the sense of urgency they carried. Despite searching for this person throughout the city and even along the coast, they cannot find them. The singer feels a magnetic pull towards this person, believing that their chance meeting was a supernatural event. The singer is driven to find this person and spend time with them without any sense of urgency or rush, hence the title of the song, Sem Pressa or "without hurry."

The lyrics capture the universal feeling of longing for someone and the search for that one person who seems to complete us. The singer's obsessive search for this person demonstrates how the search for love can take on a larger than life quality, driving us to locations we would not ordinarily go and making us act in ways that feel supernatural. Ultimately, the song speaks to the universal human desire for connection and the hope that we will find someone who makes us feel whole.
