Infernal literally translates to "infernal" or "hellish". It's a strong, evocative word that isn't commonly used in everyday conversation, making it stand out.
In the song, Solange Almeida uses it to describe an intense longing: "Ai que vontade infernal de te ver" (Oh, what an infernal desire to see you). This hyperbolic use emphasizes the overwhelming and almost unbearable nature of her desire, making it a memorable and engaging word choice.
Have you ever missed someone so much it felt like you couldn't stand it? In "Tudo Passa," Brazilian singer Solange Almeida sings directly to a former lover, telling him she has an "infernal" desire to see him again. She's still in the same place they used to share, but it feels completely different without him. She tries to be strong and hide her pain, but admits she's not getting over him.
The song's chorus features a clever play on words. Solange sings the common phrase, "Ninguém morre de amor, porque tudo nessa vida passa," which means "Nobody dies of love, because everything in this life passes." It sounds like she's telling herself to be patient and the pain will fade. But then she immediately twists the meaning, begging him, "Então passa aqui em casa" ("So, pass by my house"). She's not just waiting for time to heal her; she wants him to pass by and cure her longing—or as she puts it, "kill this longing before it kills me."
