Consolação
Smokey & Miho Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Se não tivesse o amor
Se não tivesse essa dor
E se não tivesse o sofrer
E se não tivesse o chorar
Melhor era tudo se acabar
Melhor era tudo se acabar

Eu amei, amei demais

O que eu sofri por causa do amor
Ninguém sofreu
Eu chorei, perdi a paz
Mas o que eu sei
É que ninguém nunca teve mais
Mais do que eu

Se não tivesse o amor
Se não tivesse essa dor
E se não tivesse o sofrer
E se não tivesse o chorar
Melhor era tudo se acabar
Melhor era tudo se acabar

Eu amei, amei demais
O que eu sofri por causa do amor
Ninguém sofreu
Eu chorei, perdi a paz
Mas o que eu sei
É que ninguém nunca teve mais
Mais do que eu

Eu amei, amei demais
O que eu sofri por causa do amor
Ninguém sofreu
Eu chorei, perdi a paz
Mas o que eu sei
É que ninguém nunca teve mais
Mais do que eu

Se não tivesse o amor
Se não tivesse essa dor
E se não tivesse o sofrer
E se não tivesse o chorar

Melhor era tudo se acabar
Melhor era tudo se acabar

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Smoky & Miho's "Consolacao" express the singer's deep and challenging experience with love. The first verse creates a series of hypothetical scenarios, suggesting that maybe it would be better if love, pain, and suffering didn't exist - that life would be easier if everything just "ended." This notion is somewhat ironic, as the emotion of love is often accompanied by heartache, but it is also suggesting how overwhelming and difficult love can be at times. In contrast, the second verse returns to the singer's own personal experience, acknowledging the intensity of their love, the pain it caused them, and how it seems that nobody has ever experienced love as deeply as they have.

The repetition of the refrain throughout the song, "Se não tivesse o amor, se não tivesse essa dor..." ("If love didn't exist, if pain didn't exist...") sets up a clear contrast between the hardships of love and its essential nature - that it is something deeply human and desirable, despite the struggles it can bring. The declaration that nobody has ever loved as deeply as the singer adds to this paradox, since it seems to suggest that, while the pain of love is significant, it can also be a source of great beauty and meaning in life.

Overall, the lyrics of "Consolacao" reflect on the joys and sorrows of love and the contrast between pain and meaning, leaving a bittersweet impression in the end.
