Verse 1

Nothing's left

What you were missing, you miss no more

No matter how hard I try, I don't understand

Your broken heart

Verse 1

In my hands

You lay on my chest

But that wasn't enough

Verse 1

You even posted a photo

With someone else holding your hand

Verse 1

If only you'd let all my pain cool down

And only then throw away the love I gave you

Give me back my whole heart already

Why's there still love for you?

Will I forget?

Or will it always be like this?

I'll have to love halfway

Because of you

Give it back, I want to live

Give it back anyway

And even hurt

Give it to me, it's part of me

Verse 2

It was perfect

Even in a simple kiss

Verse 2

The rain in the street

And you, lying on my chest

If you don't come anymore

Then rip it out and give it back without fear

And don't come back again

If it's not to fix what broke

Give me back my whole heart already

Why's there still love for you?

Will I forget?

Or will it always be like this?

I'll have to love halfway

Because of you

Give it back, I want to live

Give it back anyway

And even hurt

Give it to me, it's part of me

Will I forget?

Or will it always be like this?

I'll have to love halfway

Because of you

Give it back, I want to live

Give it back anyway

And even hurt

Give it to me, it's part of me

If you don't need the other half

Rip it out now and hand it to me

Come with my heart

But you don't care, but you don't care

I begged you to give it back to me

If you don't need the other half

Rip it out now and hand it to me

Come with my heart

But you don't care

You just won't give it back to me

SONG MEANING

Calema’s “Amar Pela Metade” is a soulful plea from someone who feels incomplete after a breakup. The singer confesses that nothing feels the same anymore: memories, photos and old kisses keep haunting him, yet his ex seems ready to throw their love away. Mixing Portuguese with African Creole, he begs for the “missing half” of his heart back so he can live fully again. Every verse paints a picture of lingering love—rainy streets, quiet embraces, and a constant question: will this pain ever fade, or is he doomed to love at only fifty-percent for the rest of his life?

At its core, the song captures the universal struggle of letting go. Instead of anger, the lyrics revolve around sorrow and a desperate wish for emotional closure. By asking his ex to “devolve” (give back) the part of himself she still holds, the singer turns heartbreak into a vivid metaphor: love is something shared, and when one person leaves, the other is left literally “half-hearted.” Wrapped in Calema’s smooth melodies and gentle rhythms, “Amar Pela Metade” invites listeners to feel, heal, and remember that reclaiming your whole self is the first step toward new beginnings.
