Você é Tanto Eu

The song 'Você é Tanto Eu' by Banda Gerd delves into the profound and almost mystical connection between two people who are destined to be together. The lyrics suggest that this union was preordained by a higher power, with the line 'Deus nos escolheu em outro tempo nos uniu antes do nascimento' (God chose us in another time, united us before birth). This sets the tone for a love that transcends the ordinary, implying that their souls were meant to find each other even before they were born.

The chorus emphasizes the depth of this connection by comparing it to natural and essential desires: 'Você é tanto eu que tenho saudades de mim como o marinheiro quer o mar' (You are so much me that I miss myself like a sailor wants the sea). This metaphor highlights the idea that the two individuals are so intertwined that being apart feels like losing a part of oneself. The repetition of natural imagery, such as a sailor longing for the sea and a bird wanting to fly, reinforces the idea that their love is as fundamental and necessary as these natural instincts.

The song also touches on the element of surprise and destiny in love, with the line 'A vida reserva sempre uma surpresa e o sentimento deixa a gente assim' (Life always reserves a surprise and the feeling leaves us like this). This suggests that love can be unexpected and overwhelming, yet it is something that feels right and destined. The song concludes with a declaration of love and commitment, 'amor é todo seu meu coração' (love, my heart is all yours), encapsulating the theme of a love that is both predestined and deeply cherished.
