Quis Fazer Você Feliz (feat. Roupa Nova)
Angélica
The Heartache of Unrequited Love in 'Quis Fazer Você Feliz'
In 'Quis Fazer Você Feliz,' Angélica, featuring Roupa Nova, delves into the poignant experience of unrequited love. The song opens with the narrator expressing a deep emotional response to a love song, which triggers feelings of love and vulnerability. This sets the stage for a heartfelt confession of having fallen in love, only to be met with indifference and mockery from the object of their affection. The lyrics capture the essence of holding onto a great love in one's heart, only to have it dismissed and ridiculed by the person they cherish the most.
The chorus reveals the narrator's struggle to understand why their love was not reciprocated. Despite their efforts to make the other person happy, they were met with rejection. The line 'Quis fazer você feliz, ninguém te quis assim' (I wanted to make you happy, no one wanted you like this) underscores the depth of their devotion and the pain of being unappreciated. The song also touches on the narrator's resilience and acceptance of the situation, acknowledging that life is unpredictable and sometimes, people are not meant to be together.
The metaphor of the moon in the sky, 'Uma lua lá no céu, não é de ninguém o seu amor, de ninguém' (A moon in the sky, your love belongs to no one), beautifully illustrates the unattainable nature of the beloved's affection. The moon, a symbol of beauty and distance, represents the beloved's elusive love, which cannot be possessed or changed. The repetition of 'Não te quero mal por que a vida é assim' (I don't wish you harm because life is like this) highlights the narrator's acceptance and the bittersweet realization that some things are beyond their control. This song resonates with anyone who has experienced the heartache of loving someone who cannot or will not return their feelings.
