Deixa Eu Te Amar

“Deixa Eu Te Amar” by Alexandre Pires is a heartfelt serenade that delves into the depths of love, longing, and the desire for emotional and physical connection. The song's lyrics are rich with metaphors and vivid imagery, painting a picture of a lover who yearns to immerse himself in the purity and beauty of his beloved. The opening lines, “Quero ir na fonte do teu ser / E banhar-me na tua pureza,” suggest a deep desire to connect with the very essence of the person he loves, seeking solace and happiness in their presence.

The song continues to explore themes of nostalgia and the longing to rekindle a past love. Pires sings about wanting to “matar saudade,” or kill the longing that still exists within him. This phrase captures the universal feeling of missing someone deeply and the hope to relive moments of happiness and affection. The imagery of nature, such as “orvalho que a natureza rega” (dew that nature waters) and “cascata que tem água cristalina” (waterfall with crystal-clear water), further emphasizes the purity and natural beauty of the love he seeks.

The chorus, “Deixa eu te amar / Faz de conta que sou o primeiro,” is a plea for a fresh start, asking his beloved to pretend he is their first love. This request highlights a desire for a pure, untainted connection, free from past hurts and disappointments. The repetition of this plea throughout the song underscores the intensity of his longing and the importance of this connection to him. The song's sensual undertones, expressed through lines like “Quero te pegar no colo / Te deitar no solo e te fazer mulher,” add a layer of passionate intimacy, making it clear that this love is both emotional and physical.
