Eu Era Feliz (feat. Gloria Groove)

In 'Eu Era Feliz,' Belo, featuring Gloria Groove, delves into the poignant themes of nostalgia and regret. The song opens with a reflection on the importance of photos and videos as tangible memories of a past love that can never be reclaimed. These records serve as a bittersweet reminder of a time when happiness was present, but unrecognized. The lyrics convey a deep sense of longing for a simpler, more innocent time, marked by shared beliefs and experiences that now seem distant and irretrievable.

The chorus reveals a painful realization that the love once shared was not fully appreciated until it was lost. The line 'Eu era feliz e não sabia' (I was happy and didn't know it) encapsulates the core sentiment of the song. This phrase speaks to the universal human experience of taking happiness for granted and only recognizing its true value in hindsight. The act of crying is described as having the 'taste of saudade,' a Portuguese word that conveys a deep emotional state of nostalgic longing for something or someone that is absent.

As the song progresses, the emotional weight intensifies. The protagonist admits that remembering the past is painful and that they have not yet overcome the loss. The repeated plea to be allowed to cry suggests that expressing sorrow might help alleviate the enduring pain of missing the loved one. The collaboration with Gloria Groove adds a layer of vocal depth and emotional resonance, enhancing the song's exploration of lost happiness and the enduring impact of past relationships. Through its heartfelt lyrics and evocative melody, 'Eu Era Feliz' captures the essence of regret and the bittersweet nature of memories.
