Samba em Prelúdio
Vinicius de Moraes-Maria Creuza-Toquinho Lyrics

"Samba Em Prelúdio" is a beautifully melancholic song discussing the profound sense of emptiness and despair one feels when they are without the person they love. The singer speaks about how they feel they have lost their sense of purpose and identity without their loved one, stating that they are like a flame that cannot give light, or a boat that cannot sail without the sea. The lyrics continue on to showcase how this loss has affected their well-being, causing them to reject love, end their own life, and sing songs of sorrow.

The chorus of the song speaks about the singer's anxiety around living without their loved one, expressing that they are afraid of being alone and that the memories of their time together are the only things that keep them from feeling completely isolated. Though they feel the need to have their lover by their side, they also struggle with the knowledge that life itself also has very little to offer in their absence.

The song is a poignant reflection on the nature of grief and heartbreak, and it beautifully illustrates the way that love can give us meaning and purpose, while also being a source of great pain when it is taken away. Through its poetic language and emotional depth, "Samba Em Prelúdio" stunningly captures the complexity of love and loss.
