Medo Lyrics in English Wesley Safadão
Sufocar means "to suffocate" or "to stifle." It's a strong and evocative verb that goes beyond simple discomfort.
In the song, the artist sings, "O abraço vai te sufocar" (The hug will suffocate you). This line suggests that the embrace of a new partner won't feel right; instead of comfort, it will feel overwhelming and suffocating, highlighting the irreplaceable nature of the former lover's affection.
"Medo" (Fear) is Wesley Safadão singing to a partner who's about to leave him. He tells her she can walk away, but she'll come to regret it: no one else will satisfy her the way he does, no other kiss will feel right, and no other embrace will feel like home.
The title comes from the chorus: he admits he's scaring her a little, because he's terrified of losing her. It reads less like a warning and more like a confession: he's not trying to control her, just being honest about how much she means to him.
The song ends with a shout out to the crowd, "Faz barulho Rio de Janeiro" (Make some noise, Rio de Janeiro), a reminder that this is a live performance for a hometown audience.
