da primeira vez (from the first time) (feat. Bryan Behr)

Calum Scott's song 'da primeira vez (from the first time)' featuring Bryan Behr is a heartfelt exploration of love's profound impact from the very first moments. The lyrics, sung in both Portuguese and English, beautifully capture the universal experience of falling deeply in love and the transformative power it holds. The song begins with the poignant memory of the first time the partner cried in front of the narrator, marking a moment of vulnerability that deepened their connection. This initial emotional exchange sets the stage for a relationship where the narrator begins to think of them as a unified entity, 'como um só' (as one).

The song continues to describe the physical and emotional intimacy shared between the couple. The intertwining of their bodies and scents symbolizes a merging of their lives and identities. The chorus emphasizes the narrator's unwavering commitment and love, expressing a willingness to wait 'a thousand years' for their beloved. This sentiment is echoed in both languages, reinforcing the timeless and boundless nature of their love. The English verses highlight the narrator's realization that their partner is the one they've been waiting for, and the joy of living life together as 'us' rather than 'you and me'.

The song's bridge and final verses reflect on the enduring nature of their love, even in the face of life's uncertainties. The narrator expresses a desire to cherish every moment and acknowledges the happiness their partner has brought into their life, even if they were unaware of it. The repetition of the phrase 'que eu te amo tanto' (that I love you so much) underscores the depth of their feelings and the lengths they would go to for their partner. 'da primeira vez' is a touching ode to the power of love to unite, transform, and endure through time and challenges, celebrating the beauty of a shared life and the promise of forever.
