Song Meaning of “Balada” by Gusttavo Lima
“Balada” by Gusttavo Lima is a passionate lament about the difficulties of love and relationships. The narrator is reminiscing about how he used to have intense feelings for someone in his past, but due to bad decisions and unfortunate circumstances, he now feels that all the love that existed between them has been lost. He speaks of his regret and sadness, wishing that he could turn back time so that things could have gone differently. The chorus is a yearning plea to his former lover, begging them to come back to him and reignite the love they once had, even despite the all the pain and heartache that it might cost. The narrator seems to now understand the depths of his love for the other person, but knows it may be too late for things to become what they once were. This song is a beautiful yet bittersweet exploration of the fragility of young love and the painful consequences of letting it slip away.
