The title of this song, "Ainda Bem," translates to "Thank goodness" or "It's a good thing," and that's the whole feeling of the track. It's a sweet and simple celebration of finding the right person. The singer looks at her partner and thinks, "Ainda bem / Que você vive comigo" [Thank goodness / That you live with me], wondering what life would even be like without them. She doesn't have an answer, just a shrug: "Sei lá, sei lá" [I don't know, I don't know]. It's a song about the quiet comforts of a great relationship, how having that person makes everything easier, even pain. Their presence alone can make the world stop.

The song feels like a lucky realization. The singer reflects on how incredible it is that they found each other out of everyone in the world. She calls their relationship a matter of luck, not chance: "Seria o acaso e não sorte" [It would be by chance and not by luck]. It's a huge thought, but she puts it so simply: "Entre tantos anos / Entre tantos outros / Que sorte a nossa hein" [Among so many years / Among so many others / What luck we have, huh]. It’s a beautiful tribute to a love that feels both comforting and incredibly fortunate.

This song starts with one of the most direct breakups you'll ever hear. Vanessa da Mata doesn't waste any time, telling her partner, "É só isso / Não tem mais jeito / Acabou / Boa sorte" (That's it / There's no way / It's over / Good luck). She explains that everything the other person wants to give her is just too much, describing it as "pesado" (heavy) and saying "Não há paz" (There's no peace). It's not just what they give, but what they want from her, which she calls "irreais / expectativas / desleais" (unrealistic / expectations / unfair).

But the song isn't just about ending things. It takes an interesting turn when she wishes for her ex-partner to get better, but specifically to "se cure / Dessa pessoa / Que o aconselha" (get cured / From this person who advises you). It suggests someone else's bad influence might be the real problem. Ben Harper's English lines about "falling, falling / Into the night" add to the feeling of a final, inevitable end. The song closes with a simple truth: "Um bom encontro é de dois" (A good meeting is of two), meaning a relationship needs two people on the same page, and they just weren't.

Te Amo finds Brazilian singer Vanessa da Mata turning a simple declaration of love into a heartfelt manifesto against fear. She looks back on the clichés and jokes she heard growing up about marriage and commitment, recognizing how they plant seeds of doubt. Instead of giving in, the song urges us to keep trying, to ignore the pessimists, and to face “o medo de amar” head-on.

The chorus repeats “Te amo” like a protective spell, and the imagery shimmers with hope: even if time blurs faces and romance loses shape, the couple will remain a living version of Klimt’s The Kiss, glowing with color. In the end, Vanessa paints love as an act of quiet rebellion—two happy elders walking hand in hand under the sun, proving that devotion can outlast every prediction of failure.

"Fique Aqui" ("Stay Here") is a duet between MPB singer Vanessa da Mata and rapper L7NNON. Vanessa's verses look back on meeting someone who felt lost, and she asks them to stay a little longer, even without any promise that it will last.

L7NNON's verse changes the mood. He raps about facing life and death head on, "crashing on the curve" while trying to run from the relationship, and coming out stronger for having lived through the struggle.

The song ends gently, repeating that even if it doesn't last, the person she loved still lives on in her thoughts.

Imagine dropping everything for a whirlwind romance that feels straight out of the movies. In Ai, Ai, Ai... Brazilian singer Vanessa da Mata paints that fantasy with vibrant colors: endless affection, spontaneous road trips, pristine beaches, and hidden waterfalls. She promises a love so cinematic that there is never a dull moment, only gentle breezes, star-bright skies, and joyful toasts to life.

At its heart, the song is an invitation to embrace simplicity and freedom. The playful “ai, ai, ai” refrain bursts with carefree excitement, while the lyrics suggest that all we really need is a refreshing banho de chuva – a rain shower that washes worries away. It is a celebration of living in the present, trusting love, and finding happiness in nature’s little miracles.

“Apenas Mais Uma de Amor” invites us into a secret garden of feelings where love is cherished precisely because it is unspoken. Vanessa da Mata sings about liking someone so much that she would rather keep the emotion hidden, letting it live as a beautiful, abstract idea in her mind. By refusing to demand that the romance “happen,” she protects its fragile charm, celebrating the thrill of possibility without the risk of disappointment. What might look like weakness is actually a quiet strength: she enjoys the happiness her silent crush brings and promises to handle any heartbreak on her own, far from prying eyes.

Through this tender confession, the song reminds us that some emotions shine brightest when they remain untamed. Beauty is fleeting, dreams can be exquisite even if unrealized, and true independence means owning both the gains and losses of the heart. It is a breezy, softly defiant anthem for anyone who has ever loved in silence and found power in that gentle secrecy.

A veces una relación se vuelve tan asfixiante que la única salida sana es decir adiós con toda la calma del mundo. Eso es exactamente lo que canta la brasileña Vanessa da Mata junto a Ben Harper en "Boa Sorte". Desde el primer segundo no hay rodeos ni dramas exagerados: la letra arranca directa con «É só isso / Não tem mais jeito / Acabou / Boa sorte» («Es solo eso / Ya no hay vuelta de hoja / Se acabó / Buena suerte»). La frase «não tem mais jeito» es una expresión clásica para decir que una situación ya no tiene arreglo ni remedio.

El problema central aquí no es la falta de cariño, sino el peso insoportable de las exigencias. Vanessa lo deja clarísimo cuando canta «Tudo o que quer me dar / É demais / É pesado / Não há paz» («Todo lo que quieres darme / Es demasiado / Es pesado / No hay paz») y remata criticando esas «expectativas desleais» («expectativas desleales»). En vez de quedarse atrapados en reproches eternos, nos recuerdan una verdad simple pero sabia: «Um bom encontro é de dois» («Un buen encuentro es de dos»). Si la sintonía ya no existe, desearle buena suerte a la otra persona y seguir adelante es la mejor decisión.

Have you ever had a neighbor who complains about everything? Brazilian singer Vanessa da Mata captures this feeling perfectly in her song "Vizinha Enjoada," which means "Annoying Neighbor."

The singer describes her neighbor, Dona Maria, who is always watching and always complaining. Whether it's day or night, a holiday or a regular Sunday, the singer can't even listen to her music or walk around her own home without Dona Maria finding a reason to be upset. The neighbor seems to blame the singer for everything that's missing in her own life.

But here's the funny twist! The singer gets so used to the constant complaints that when the neighbor is quiet, she starts to worry. She wonders if Dona Maria is okay or if she's lonely. In the end, the singer offers a kind of prayer, wishing her neighbor health, joy, friends, and harmony. But the final line reveals her true wish: that God will give the neighbor so many good things that she will finally, for the love of God, forget all about the singer and leave her in peace!

Get ready to smile with Vanessa da Mata's "Debaixo da Saia Dela"! This song is a playful and imaginative look at infatuation, told through the eyes of someone observing a boy completely smitten.

The lyrics describe this boy who is absolutely captivated by a woman. He's so in love, he's "paralisado, comida de mosquito" [paralyzed, mosquito food], just waiting for her to turn the corner. The narrator wonders what this mysterious woman carries "Embaixo daquela saia com tanto cuidado" [Under that skirt with so much care]. And the answer? It's a beautiful, whimsical list of Brazilian wonders: a "pé de jacarandá" [jacaranda tree], "fruta do ingazeiro" [ice cream bean fruit], and even a "janela pro mundo inteiro" [window to the whole world]. It's a charming celebration of imagination and the magic we see in someone we adore.

Vanessa da Mata's "Nossa Geração" is a really thought-provoking song that imagines a world where everything is possible without fear. She sings, "No faz de conta meu amor / Faça de conta meu amor / Que tudo pode ser sem medo" [In make-believe, my love / Pretend, my love / That everything can be without fear]. It's a beautiful idea, especially when she contrasts it with the reality she sees around her.

The song laments how our generation has lost touch with genuine connection. Vanessa observes, "Nossa geração não se beija mais / Foram doutrinados a achar sujo" [Our generation doesn't kiss anymore / They were indoctrinated to think it dirty]. She feels like we've been taught to be afraid of intimacy and to judge what's different, saying "Nossa geração mata o diferente / Padronizam frutos, flores e gente" [Our generation kills what's different / They standardize fruits, flowers and people]. It's a powerful call to remember the beauty of individuality and the importance of not letting the "orchestra" of life be silenced, reminding us that "Existem violinos, tubas e percussões / Florestas, cores, gente, cheia de sensações" [There are violins, tubas and percussions / Forests, colors, people, full of sensations].

In "Foice," which means "Scythe" in English, Vanessa da Mata creates a powerful anthem of resilience and justice. The song is like a protective shield, pushing away negativity ("If you give me the evil eye, I didn't even see it") and cutting down mistreatment with a symbolic scythe. It paints a vivid picture of everyday struggles in Brazil, from a woman carrying spoiled bananas from the market to the frustration with corrupt politicians and a failing system where the nation's wealth is sent abroad.

Amidst this chaos, the song offers a guide to survival. It lists traditional folk remedies for stress-related illnesses like insomnia and gastritis, reminding us to stay sane and healthy ("In this mess, you have to be sane"). The lyrics are also a powerful call for spiritual protection, blending references from both Catholicism (like Nossa Senhora) and Afro-Brazilian religions (like the deities Xangô and Oxum). It's a call to stand up against racism and injustice, seeking divine justice to overcome the evils of the world.

Dette er en av de mest direkte brudd-sangene du vil høre. Vanessa da Mata kaster ikke bort tiden. Hun starter med "É só isso / Não tem mais jeito / Acabou / Boa sorte" (Det er alt / Det er ingen vei tilbake / Det er over / Lykke til). Det er så brutalt ærlig! Hun sier at det den andre personen vil gi henne er "demais / É pesado / Não há paz" (for mye / Det er tungt / Det er ingen fred), og at forventningene deres er "Irreais / ... / Desleais" (Urealistiske / ... / Urettferdige).

Hun gir også et lite råd, nesten som en siste tanke. Hun synger, "Quero que se cure / Dessa pessoa / Que o aconselha" (Jeg vil at du skal bli kurert / Fra denne personen / Som gir deg råd), og antyder at en utenforstående kan ha forårsaket problemene. Sammen med Ben Harpers engelske linjer om å falle ut i natten, blir sangen en blanding av en kald avskjed og en trist erkjennelse av at ting rett og slett ikke fungerte.

Have you ever felt like you "lost an love" but deep down, you knew it was actually a good thing? Vanessa da Mata's "Vá Com Deus" [Go With God] totally gets it! She sings, "Vejo o povo dizer que perdeu um amor e quando estava lá só rimava com dor / Isso não é perda isso é livramento" [I see people say they lost a love and when it was there it only rhymed with pain / That's not a loss, that's a release]. It's such a refreshing take on breakups, reminding us that sometimes, what feels like a loss is actually freedom.

This song is all about embracing your own company and finding strength in self-sufficiency. Vanessa questions why people are so afraid of being alone, asking, "Qual é o problema de estar na sua própria companhia?" [What's the problem with being in your own company?]. She even describes a couple stuck in a "ligação de ódio" [connection of hate], walking around like "meio mortos vivos" [half living dead] until they finally understood their lack of love. It's a powerful message about recognizing when something isn't serving you and having the courage to say, "Vá com Deus" [Go with God] to what no longer brings you joy. It's a celebration of independence and finding peace within yourself!

В «Te Amo» Ванессы да Маты любовь начинается с сопротивления страху. Лирическая героиня говорит: «Mas o pior não é não conseguir / É desistir de tentar» [«Но хуже всего не не суметь, а бросить пытаться»]. Она не верит чужим предупреждениям и просит заметить, что за ними скрывается «medo de amar» [«страх любить»]. В детстве она слышала шутки, клише и насмешки о совместной жизни и браке, поэтому мысль «Se entregar seria fraquejar» [«Отдаться означало бы проявить слабость»] звучит как навязанное правило, которое она теперь отвергает. А затем очень прямо, почти без защиты, повторяет: «Te amo» [«Я тебя люблю»].

Дальше песня проверяет это признание временем. Что, если любимый человек изменится настолько, что однажды его уже не узнать? Что, если роман «desconstruir» [«разрушится, распадётся на части»] и потеряет смысл, а сама героиня «se esquecer por aí» [«забудет себя где-то по дороге»]? Её ответ удивительно красивый и немного смелый: «Mas nós somos um quadro de Klimt, “O Beijo”» [«Но мы с тобой картина Климта, “Поцелуй”»]. Речь о картине Густава Климта «Поцелуй», которую текст представляет как образ пары, навсегда сияющей цветами. Финальная мечта совсем земная: пережить всё и стать «dois velhos felizes / de mãos dadas numa tarde de sol» [«двумя счастливыми стариками, идущими за руки солнечным днём»].

Vanessa da Matas "Te Amo" er en smuk og ærlig sang om kærlighedens udfordringer og den modstand, man kan møde, når man tør elske. Hun synger om frygten for at give op: "Mas o pior não é não conseguir / É desistir de tentar" [Men det værste er ikke ikke at lykkes / Det er at give op på at prøve]. Det handler om at overvinde andres fordomme og klichéer om kærlighed og ægteskab, som hun udtrykker med linjerne: "Eu cresci ouvindo anedotas / Clichês e chacotas / Frustrações / Sobre amasiar, se casar / Se entregar seria fraquejar" [Jeg voksede op med at høre anekdoter / Klichéer og spot / Frustrationer / Om at bo sammen, at gifte sig / At overgive sig ville være at svigte].

Sangen udforsker også frygten for, at kærligheden falmer, og at man mister hinanden: "E se o tempo levar você / E um dia eu te olhar e não te reconhecer / E se o romance se desconstruir / Perder o sentido / E eu me esquecer por ai" [Og hvis tiden tager dig / Og en dag ser jeg på dig og genkender dig ikke / Og hvis romancen dekonstrueres / Mister sin mening / Og jeg glemmer mig selv derude]. Men midt i denne usikkerhed holder hun fast i den stærke kærlighed og sammenligner den med et kunstværk: "Mas nós somos um quadro de Klimt / 'O Beijo' para sempre fagulhando em cores" [Men vi er et Klimt-maleri / 'Kysset' for evigt funklende i farver]. Det er en erklæring om at ville være "Dois velhos felizes / De mãos dadas numa tarde de sol / Pra sempre" [To glade gamle mennesker / Hånd i hånd en solskinsdag / For evigt]. Det er en sang, der virkelig får mig til at tro på den vedvarende kærlighed!

Vanessa da Mata singt in „Te Amo“ von einer Liebe, die sich gegen Angst und fremde Ratschläge behaupten muss. „Mas o pior não é não conseguir / É desistir de tentar“ [„Das Schlimmste ist nicht, es nicht zu schaffen, sondern aufzugeben, es zu versuchen“]. Danach erinnert sie sich an Witze, Klischees und Enttäuschungen über das Zusammenleben und Heiraten. „Se entregar seria fraquejar“ [„Sich hinzugeben wäre Schwäche“] klingt wie ein Satz, den sie früher gehört hat und nun zurückweist. Ihr eigenes Gegenargument ist denkbar klar: „Te amo“ [„Ich liebe dich“], immer wieder, ohne sich dafür zu entschuldigen.

Natürlich lässt sie auch Zweifel zu: Was, wenn die Zeit den geliebten Menschen verändert und die beiden sich eines Tages nicht mehr erkennen? Was, wenn die Beziehung ihren Sinn verliert und sie sich selbst verliert? Trotzdem findet sie ein starkes Bild für ihre Hoffnung: „nós somos um quadro de Klimt, ‘O Beijo’“ [„wir sind ein Bild von Klimt, ‚Der Kuss‘“]. Gemeint ist Gustav Klimts berühmtes Gemälde, auf dem ein Paar eng umschlungen in goldenen Farben zu sehen ist. Die Liebe soll dort „para sempre fagulhando em cores“ [„für immer in Farben funkelnd“] bleiben. Am Ende sieht sie sich mit diesem Menschen als „dois velhos felizes / de mãos dadas numa tarde de sol“ [„zwei glückliche alte Menschen, Hand in Hand an einem sonnigen Nachmittag“]. Das ist ziemlich groß gedacht, aber gerade deshalb passt der schlichte, wiederholte Refrain so gut: „Te amo“ [„Ich liebe dich“].

Dans « Te Amo », Vanessa da Mata transforme une déclaration très simple en véritable acte de courage. La narratrice refuse les conseils décourageants et les blagues sur le mariage, l’engagement et le fait de « se donner » à quelqu’un. Elle oppose à ces clichés une phrase répétée comme une décision : « Te amo » [je t’aime]. Elle reconnaît pourtant la peur derrière ces discours : « Perceba o medo de amar » [comprends la peur d’aimer]. Le mot amasiar désigne le fait de vivre en couple sans être marié, tandis que fraquejar signifie faiblir ou manquer de courage. Ici, aimer et s’engager ne sont donc pas des signes de faiblesse.

La chanson regarde aussi le temps droit dans les yeux. La narratrice imagine un futur où l’autre changerait tellement qu’elle ne le reconnaîtrait plus, ou bien où le roman d’amour « se desconstruir » [se déconstruirait] et perdrait son sens. Puis elle choisit une image délicieuse : le couple devient Le Baiser, le tableau de Gustav Klimt, avec ses couleurs qui continuent de briller. Même si tout n’est pas garanti, elle rêve de résister ensemble et de devenir « dois velhos felizes, de mãos dadas numa tarde de sol » [deux vieux heureux, main dans la main un après-midi ensoleillé]. C’est romantique, oui, et même un peu audacieux : dire « je t’aime » encore et encore, tout en sachant que le temps peut tout changer.

Vanessas da Matas dziesma “Te Amo” ir tieša mīlestības izvēle par spīti bailēm un apkārtējo cinismam. Dziedātāja saka: “Mas o pior não é não conseguir / É desistir de tentar” [“Sliktākais nav nespēt, bet gan atteikties mēģināt”]. Viņa atceras, ka uzaugusi, klausoties anekdotēs, klišejās un zobgalībās par kopdzīvi un laulībām. Rinda “Se entregar seria fraquejar” [“Nodoties mīlestībai nozīmētu parādīt vājumu”] skan kā sabiedrības iemācīts aizspriedums, kuram dziesma atsakās ticēt. Tāpēc atkārtojums “Te amo” [“Es tevi mīlu”] ir vienkāršs, drosmīgs un gandrīz spītīgs.

Otrajā daļā parādās bailes no nākotnes: cilvēks var aiziet, mīlestības stāsts var izjukt un viņa pati var aizmirsties kaut kur pa ceļam. Tomēr abi ir salīdzināti ar Gustava Klimta gleznu “Skūpsts”, kas dziesmā kļūst par tēlu mīlestībai, kura mirdz krāsās un pretojas visam. Noslēguma aina ir īpaši silta: divi veci, laimīgi cilvēki saulainā pēcpusdienā iet sadevušies rokās. Dziesma neapsola, ka nekas nemainīsies. Tā saka: pat zinot, ka viss var mainīties, mīlēt tomēr ir vērts.

U pesmi „Te Amo“ Vanessa da Mata govori o ljubavi koja odbija da poveruje u tuđe cinizme. Najgore nije to što nešto ne uspe odmah, već „Mas o pior não é não conseguir / É desistir de tentar“ [Ali najgore nije ne uspeti, nego odustati od pokušaja]. Odrastanje uz viceve, klišee i podsmeh prema zajedničkom životu i braku ostavilo je poruku da je predati se ljubavi znak slabosti: „Se entregar seria fraquejar“ [Predati se značilo bi biti slab]. Ona tu poruku odbacuje i iznova izgovara „Te amo“ [Volim te], kao jednostavan, hrabar odgovor strahu od ljubavi.

Drugi deo pesme ipak ne obećava da će sve zauvek ostati isto. Šta ako vreme promeni voljenu osobu, ako se jednog dana više ne prepoznaju ili romansa izgubi smisao? Umesto sigurnosti, pesma nudi smelu sliku: „Mas nós somos um quadro de Klimt, ‘O Beijo’“ [Ali mi smo Klimtova slika „Poljubac“]. To je stvarna slika Gustava Klimta, poznata po paru koji se ljubi, obavijenom zlatnim i šarenim ukrasima. U ovoj pesmi taj poljubac postaje obećanje da će njih dvoje, uprkos svemu, jednog dana biti „Dois velhos felizes / De mãos dadas numa tarde de sol“ [Dvoje srećnih staraca, držeći se za ruke jednog sunčanog popodneva]. Pomalo je smelo, čak i pomalo preterano, ali baš zato ponavljanje „Te amo“ zvuči kao odluka, a ne kao prazna fraza.

În „Te Amo”, Vanessa da Mata, artistă din Brazilia, vorbește despre curajul de a încerca să iubești chiar și atunci când ai crescut auzind glume și clișee despre relații. Versul „Mas o pior não é não conseguir / É desistir de tentar” [Dar cel mai rău nu este să nu reușești / Ci să renunți să încerci] pune lucrurile foarte direct. Iar „Perceba o medo de amar” [Observă frica de a iubi] îi invită pe ascultători să nu confunde cinismul altora cu adevărul. Cuvântul „amasiar” se referă la a trăi împreună fără căsătorie, în timp ce „se entregar seria fraquejar” înseamnă că, pentru cei care critică iubirea, a te dărui ar fi un semn de slăbiciune.

Apoi cântecul își imaginează un viitor în care timpul schimbă chipul și chiar sensul unei povești de dragoste: „E se o romance se desconstruir / Perder o sentido” [Și dacă povestea de dragoste se destramă / Își pierde sensul]. Totuși, imaginea aleasă pentru cuplu este superb de îndrăzneață: „nós somos um quadro de Klimt, ‘O Beijo’” [noi suntem un tablou de Klimt, „Sărutul”]. Tabloul lui Gustav Klimt devine aici simbolul unei iubiri care continuă să scânteieze în culori, chiar când apar schimbări și îndoieli. Finalul visează la „dois velhos felizes / de mãos dadas numa tarde de sol” [doi bătrâni fericiți / ținându-se de mână într-o după-amiază însorită]. Iar refrenul repetă „Te amo” [Te iubesc] până când declarația pare o alegere făcută din nou și din nou.

Vanessa da Mata v písni Te Amo zpívá o lásce, která se nechce podřídit strachu ani cizím řečem. „Mas o pior não é não conseguir, é desistir de tentar“ [Nejhorší není, že to nejde, ale že se člověk přestane snažit] zní jako přímé povzbuzení nevzdat vztah předem. Vypravěčka vyrostla na „anedotas, clichês e chacotas“ [anekdotách, klišé a posměšcích] o společném životě a svatbě, jako by odevzdat se lásce znamenalo slabost. Proti tomu staví prosté a opakované „Te amo“ [Miluji tě]. Právě ta opakovaná věta působí skoro jako slib, který nepotřebuje žádné složité vysvětlování.

Pak píseň připustí i obavy z budoucnosti: co když čas člověka změní natolik, že se dva jednou nepoznají, nebo se romance rozpadne a ztratí smysl? Přesto přichází krásný obraz: „nós somos um quadro de Klimt, ‘O Beijo’“ [jsme Klimtův obraz Polibek]. Jde o skutečný obraz Gustava Klimta, zde představený jako láska, která navzdory všemu dál září barvami. Konečný sen je prostý a něžný: dva staří lidé se drží za ruce během slunečného odpoledne. Píseň tedy neslibuje, že se nic nezmění. Slibuje, že stojí za to milovat i s vědomím, že čas může všechno prověřit.

Στο «Te Amo», η Vanessa da Mata μιλά για την αγάπη σαν μια επιλογή που χρειάζεται θάρρος. Η αφηγήτρια λέει πως το χειρότερο δεν είναι να μην τα καταφέρεις, αλλά «Mas o pior não é não conseguir» [το χειρότερο δεν είναι να μην μπορέσεις] και «É desistir de tentar» [είναι να σταματήσεις να προσπαθείς]. Αμφισβητεί όσα ακούμε από τους άλλους για τον έρωτα και τον γάμο: από παιδί άκουγε ανέκδοτα, κλισέ και κοροϊδίες για το να ζεις μαζί με κάποιον ή να παντρεύεσαι. Η φράση «Se entregar seria fraquejar» [το να αφεθείς θα ήταν αδυναμία] παρουσιάζει έναν φόβο που το τραγούδι αρνείται να δεχτεί. Και ύστερα έρχεται το απλό, επαναλαμβανόμενο «Te amo» [σ’ αγαπώ], σαν καθαρή απάντηση σε όλες αυτές τις φοβισμένες φωνές.

Το πιο όμορφο σημείο κοιτάζει μπροστά, ακόμη και στις πιθανές αλλαγές: τι θα γίνει αν ο χρόνος απομακρύνει τους δύο ανθρώπους ή αν μια μέρα ο ένας δεν αναγνωρίζει πια τον άλλον; Παρ’ όλα αυτά, η σχέση φαντάζεται σαν «um quadro de Klimt, “O Beijo”» [έναν πίνακα του Κλιμτ, «Το Φιλί»], με χρώματα που συνεχίζουν να λαμπυρίζουν. Η εικόνα είναι τολμηρή και λίγο κινηματογραφική: δύο ηλικιωμένοι, ευτυχισμένοι, κρατιούνται από το χέρι ένα ηλιόλουστο απόγευμα. Το «Te Amo» δεν υπόσχεται ότι ο έρωτας δεν θα αλλάξει. Υπόσχεται πως αξίζει να προσπαθήσουν, να αφεθούν και να μείνουν μαζί «Pra sempre» [για πάντα].

«Te Amo» Ванесси да Мати звучить як смілива відповідь страху перед коханням. Оповідачка згадує, що виросла на «anedotas, clichês e chacotas» [анекдотах, кліше й насмішках] про спільне життя та шлюб. Її ніби вчили: «Se entregar seria fraquejar» [віддатися коханню означало б проявити слабкість]. Але пісня відкидає цю логіку: «Mas o pior não é não conseguir / É desistir de tentar» [найгірше не в тому, що не виходить, а в тому, щоб перестати намагатися]. Повторення «Te amo» [я тебе кохаю] звучить просто, прямо й майже вперто.

Далі з’являється тривога про майбутнє: час може віддалити закоханих, роман може втратити сенс, а одна людина може навіть перестати впізнавати іншу. Та замість обіцянки, що нічого не зміниться, пісня вигадує прекрасний образ: «nós somos um quadro de Klimt, “O Beijo”» [ми картина Клімта «Поцілунок»]. Це посилання на відому картину Густава Клімта, яку в тексті уявлено як пару, що назавжди іскриться кольорами. Фінальна мрія дуже конкретна: вони переживуть усе й стануть «dois velhos felizes / de mãos dadas numa tarde de sol» [двома щасливими старими, які тримаються за руки сонячного дня]. Трохи сміливо, трохи солодко, але саме тому так приємно: любов тут не ховається за жартами про шлюб, а вголос каже «я тебе кохаю».
