És Tu Lyrics in English by Paulo Sousa
Alma is the beautiful Portuguese word for "soul". It's a deeply poetic term that adds a layer of emotional weight to this heartfelt ballad.
In the song, Paulo Sousa sings, "Se a alma diz que sim, para quê negar?" (If the soul says yes, why deny it?). He uses alma to represent an undeniable, core feeling, suggesting that when your very essence tells you something is true, you shouldn't fight it.
In this pop song, Portuguese singer Paulo Sousa explores a love so intense it feels like the center of the universe. He asks a series of dramatic questions, wondering what he would do if everything ended. He sings, "Se a estrada acaba ali, não quero mais andar" (If the road ends there, I don't want to walk anymore) and "Se a flor morrer assim, não quero respirar" (If the flower dies like this, I don't want to breathe). It's all building up to the main point: "Se o meu mundo gira em ti, como vou viver?" (If my world revolves around you, how will I live?).
The chorus offers a piece of advice and a powerful declaration. He warns against trading something real for something temporary with the line, "Não deixes o mundo / De quem amas por quem gostas" (Don't leave the world of someone you love for someone you like). For him, there's no confusion. To all his questions and doubts, there is only one clear conclusion: "E a resposta / És tu, és tu, és tu!" (And the answer / Is you, is you, is you!).
