Delírios translates to "deliriums" or "frenzies." It's a strong and evocative word that immediately suggests an intense, almost overwhelming state of mind.
In the context of "Delírios De Amor," it perfectly captures the passionate and almost out-of-control feelings of love and desire described in the lyrics. The song speaks of being consumed by love, making "delírios" a fitting and enticing word to feature.
This one is built around a single flashback: the exact party where he first locked eyes with someone and everything changed. He replays it almost frame by frame — "Você me olhou e eu pisquei" ("You looked at me and I blinked") — like he still can't believe it happened.
By the chorus he stops describing and just names the feeling: "Delírios de amor" ("Delusions of love"), "Você provocou em mim" ("You provoked me"). He's not fighting it either — "Não posso negar" ("I can not deny"), "Maluco por ti" ("Crazy for you") — repeated until you believe him.
Alexandre Pires is a Brazilian singer born in 1976 in Uberlândia, Minas Gerais. As a teenager he co-founded the pagode group Só Pra Contrariar with his brother and cousin, and became its lead voice through the 1990s as the band grew into one of Brazil's best-selling acts, even scoring a hit in Spanish with Gloria Estefan.
In 2001 Pires launched a solo career blending pagode and Brazilian pop with Spanish-language ballads, winning fans across Latin America alongside his home audience. He has kept moving between those styles ever since, returning to his pagode roots on a series of live albums recorded with full bands.
