De Tanto Amor
Nando Reis Lyrics

The lyrics of Nando Reis' song "Declaração de Amor" speak of a farewell between two lovers. The singer of the song appears to be the one ending the relationship and is torn between the intense love they feel for their partner and the need to move on. The opening lyrics, "Ah, eu vim aqui amor, Só pra me despedir," already set the tone for the rest of the song. There is a sense of inevitability in the tone, as if the end of the relationship was bound to happen despite the immense love shared by the couple.

The lyrics also reveal how the singer's love for their partner was so overwhelming that "Ninguém podia amar assim" (No one could love like this). This line highlights how intense and consuming the love between the two was, and serves as a reflection of the passion that characterizes many romantic relationships. Nevertheless, the singer admits that they made a mistake and that the end of the relationship was, to some extent, their fault: "E devo confessar, aí foi que eu errei" (And I must confess, that's where I went wrong).

The final lines of the song talk about the pain of moving on, a sentiment that most people in the process of ending a relationship can relate to. The singer mentions that they will let their partner go but implores them to, at the very least, allow them to see them pass by, suggesting that they are not ready to completely let go just yet: "Me deixe pelo menos só te ver passar, Eu nada vou dizer, Perdoa se eu chorar" (Let me at least see you pass by, I won't say anything, forgive me if I cry)
