Eu Sinto Que te Amo

Altemar Dutra's song 'Eu Sinto Que te Amo' is a poignant exploration of love and regret. The lyrics convey a deep emotional journey, where the protagonist realizes his love for someone only after experiencing their absence. The song begins with the protagonist acknowledging the moment he felt love—when he noticed the person's delayed arrival and felt a pang of concern. This marks the end of his indifference, highlighting how love often reveals itself in moments of longing and worry.

As the song progresses, the protagonist reflects on the distance and lack of communication that once existed between them. The arrival of a simple, yet heartfelt word from the loved one brings immense joy to his heart, emphasizing the power of small gestures in love. This part of the song underscores the theme of unspoken emotions and the impact of seemingly insignificant actions on one's feelings.

The song concludes with a bittersweet acceptance that, despite the impossibility of going back, the protagonist's love remains strong. This ending encapsulates the complex emotions of regret, acceptance, and enduring affection, making 'Eu Sinto Que te Amo' a deeply relatable and touching piece.
