Colasse is the imperfect subjunctive form of the verb colar, which means 'to glue' or 'to stick'. In this song, it's used in a hypothetical sense, meaning 'if I glued' or 'if I mended'.
It's a poignant word because the singer asks, "E se eu colasse o que parti?" (And what if I glued what I broke?). This line beautifully expresses regret and the desperate wish to repair a broken relationship, making it a powerful and memorable image within the lyrics.
“És Só Tu” (Portuguese for “It’s Only You”) is a heartfelt duet where pop star David Carreira teams up with singer and actress Inês Herédia to capture the dizzy first days after a break-up. The narrator keeps reopening WhatsApp, replaying memories and wondering if patching up what was broken could still reach the other person. Every image shouts longing: the sky is the same but the stars feel stolen, a tattoo and an unsent text keep echoing the past, and even silence hurts.
Yet the chorus turns all that pain into a firm decision: now it is only you. Both voices insist they will not forget, will not let go, and have already chosen that one special person. The result is a modern love lament wrapped in an upbeat pop melody that makes heartbreak feel strangely hopeful and impossible to ignore.
David Carreira is one of Portugal's biggest pop stars. Born in Dourdan, France, in 1991 and raised in a famously musical family as the son of the singer Tony Carreira, he broke through in 2011 with the album "N.1", which went straight to number one at home. Since then he has moved easily between radio pop, ballads and dance rhythms, and in 2019 he became the youngest Portuguese artist ever to sell out the Altice Arena in Lisbon.
On "Menta" he shares the microphone with Djodje, a Cape Verdean singer, songwriter and producer born in Praia in 1989 and now based in Lisbon. Djodje grew up surrounded by music, started out as a teenager in the group TC, and has become one of the leading voices of kizomba and Afropop across the Portuguese speaking world. His warm, laid back delivery, part of it sung in Cape Verdean Creole, is what gives this song its island heat.
