Song Meaning of “Balão de Seda” by Gino & Geno
‘Balão de Seda’ is a song of longing and nostalgia for a lost love. Gino & Geno express how losing someone special has left them feeling empty and lonely. They paint a image of a heart shaped balloon of red silk (Balão de Seda) as a symbol of their beloved, and how the fading of the balloon symbolizes how their love fades away. The chorus talks of how they want to keep the balloon in the sky, never letting it touch the ground, as a way of symbolizing how they want to keep that bond alive forever.
The verses reflect on how the singer yearns for that lost love, wishing for it to be restored and to be shared again. Despite being hurt by the loss, they still look back fondly at the memories of the their connection, and Gino & Geno’s longing and sadness emanates through their beautiful music. ‘Balão de Seda’ speaks to the pain of love lost, but also to its lasting power.
