colasseif I glued / if I mended

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.
