Perigo means "danger" in Portuguese. It's a word that immediately grabs attention and suggests a thrilling or intense situation.
In the context of Marisa Monte's song, she sings, "Gostar de alguém tem sempre algum perigo" (Liking someone always has some danger). This line beautifully captures the vulnerability and risk involved in falling in love, making the word "perigo" both relatable and intriguing for anyone who has experienced the complexities of romance.
Have you ever felt so strongly for someone that you were ready to go all in? In "Totalmente Seu," which means "Totally Yours," Brazilian singer Marisa Monte sings about exactly that feeling. She's not playing games; she tells her love interest, "Eu levo a sério" ("I take it seriously") and confesses, "Sou totalmente seu" ("I am totally yours").
The singer knows that love isn't always easy. She admits that liking someone "Tem sempre algum perigo" ("Always has some danger") and involves a certain risk. Will it work out in the end? She's not sure, saying "O tempo irá dizer" ("Time will tell"). But for now, she's focused on the powerful connection she feels in the present, which she describes as "forte, perfeito" ("strong, perfect"). It's a song about embracing vulnerability and giving yourself completely to love, even without knowing what the future holds.
