Annotations and Meaning:

Featured on the soundtrack to "A Infância de Romeu e Julieta," "Infinito" is a ballad that's deeply emotive from Marcilio Freitas, reflecting on the long game of love and never giving up on wanting to be together, no matter the adversities. The lyrics reflect a deep sense of longing and commitment to what a love relationship with deep emotional bonding will reflect.
"The opening lines, 'Difícil é te amar e não poder mais te tocar,' set the stage directly for yearning and difficulty, as if there were some sort of separation between the lovers that somehow raised the emotional stakes within the song. The line "Te olhar nos olhos e saber que vai me amar" further brings out the idea that by one looking into their eyes, they are sure to be loved back. The sentence gives an outlook of hope and strength during strife.

The chorus "Nosso amor jamais mudou, é infinito" stresses that their love is constant and timeless. It esteems this infinity, firming the theme that should be communicated: love should indeed conquer and stand constant through all kinds of adversity.

In the lines of "Quando o coração escolhe alguém para amar," the choice that the heart makes from one to love is evidently highlighted. This line exposes the inevitability and simultaneously the strength of true love, suggesting it might have an indication of something beyond people's power to control or comprehension and can easily overpower even "a distância de todos os mares" (the distance of all seas).

This verse literally calls the plea to be authentic and immediate in the relationship: "Chega de fingir que é indiferente à nós dois." It calls for the cessation of pretense, taking fully the feelings of the two, living in their time of happiness with no postponement: "Nossa felicidade não merece depois."

Themes and Messages:

"Infinito" explores themes of the enduring nature of love, through all its anguish in parting and the unrelenting tug of real emotional connection. The song encourages fans that love should be embraced with all the boldness in reality that one can live life with truth of emotions and not hiding or denying.
This moving ballad serves to draw further the emotional landscape of the film in with its wider themes of love, connection, and of course, relationship difficulty in "A Infância de Romeu e Julieta." It is not directed at romantic love only but rather captures within it the longing evident in all human beings to forge deep and lifelong connections that may be able to withstand the tests thrown at them by time and fate. "Infinito" sings, advising the deep lyrics and melody to anybody listening to savor and not lose the limitless possibilities love brings.
