Song Meaning of “Quero Falar de Amor – Ao Vivo” by João Márcio & Fabiano
“Quero Falar de Amor” by João Márcio & Fabiano is a refreshing love song about the joys and misunderstandings that come with falling in love. The melody is uplifting, almost celebratory, echoing the pleasurable and hypnotizing feelings of love at first sight. The lyrics describe a deep desire to speak out loud about love, despite all the miscommunications and puzzles inherent in romance. The lyrics beckon us to open up and accept our vulnerability, setting it to an upbeat and carefree sound.
The chorus speaks to a desire to talk about love without filters, saying, “When I try to speak of love/I find it so hard to hide/I’m a coward and I step back/But I’d rather die fighting/I want to speak of love.” This speaks to both the potential distress and ecstasy found in expressing our love, giving it a universal relatability.
We journey through childhood crushes, close-but-not-quite relationships, and finally the realization that it’s finally time to take the plunge and be honest about one’s feelings. In the bridge, the song speaks to the irrevocability of having spoken these words, but ultimately reinforces the theme of the track: that the potential joy that comes with being honest about one’s feelings of love is worth any risk.
