“Ainda Existe Amor Em Nós,” by Brazilian pagode group Sorriso Maroto, is a heartfelt snapshot of a couple who hit the pause button on their relationship but cannot quite turn off their feelings. The lyrics show two people technically separated, yet bound by a pact of mutual respect: neither will look for someone new. Beneath that fragile agreement beats a tug-of-war between lingering love and stubborn pride. Tiny everyday moments – a fogged-up window, a sunset, a spontaneous hug – threaten to break their stalemate and remind them that, at the core, they are still crazy about each other.
The singer admits he is “um bobo apaixonado,” a love-struck fool, and he is willing to risk the pain of waiting because he believes their connection will outlast their time apart. Even though giving each other space could invite someone else into the picture, he trusts that the love they share will “prevalecer” – prevail. In short, the song is a sweet-and-sour anthem for anyone stuck between letting go and holding on, capturing the hopeful flutter that true love can survive a break if both hearts keep beating in sync.
