Paulo Gonzo and Raquel Tavares invite us into a heartfelt tug-of-war between solitude and togetherness in “Amor Maior”. The singer admits he sometimes longs to be alone, yet quickly realises that being alone with only himself is impossible. His heart keeps insisting on companionship. The lyrics swirl around this paradox, showing that love is both a refuge and a challenge, something we chase even when it hurts.
Ultimately the song is a passionate quest for an all-embracing love that is “maior que eu” – greater than the self. The narrator is willing to follow his heart to the very end, even at the cost of pain, to discover whether what he feels is genuine love. By repeating the mantra “quero um amor maior,” the duet celebrates the fearless pursuit of a love so powerful it spills out from within and transforms everything around it.
