Faz me rir (Me dá riza)

In 'Faz me rir (Me dá riza),' Edith Veiga delivers a powerful message about self-worth and the importance of moving on from past relationships that no longer serve us. The song's lyrics reflect a sense of empowerment and self-respect, as the protagonist addresses a former lover who continues to harbor illusions about their relationship. The opening lines, 'Como podes pensar que eu te quero? Como podes sonhar com o meu amor?' (How can you think that I want you? How can you dream of my love?), set the tone for the song, emphasizing the protagonist's disbelief and rejection of the ex-lover's advances.

The lyrics further reveal the protagonist's journey from pain to pride. She acknowledges the hurt caused by the past relationship, 'Se uma vez eu te dei meu carinho E a tua ilusão, encheu-me de dor' (If once I gave you my affection And your illusion filled me with pain), but also highlights her growth and newfound confidence. The lines 'Mas, estou orgulhosa de ser. A mulher que outros homens pretendem' (But, I am proud to be. The woman that other men desire) showcase her self-assurance and the realization that she deserves better.

The recurring phrase 'Faz-me rir' (You make me laugh) serves as a powerful refrain, symbolizing the protagonist's dismissal of her ex-lover's attempts to win her back. She finds humor in his false declarations of love, 'Que te adoro, que morro por ti' (That I adore you, that I die for you), and sees through his deceit. The song ultimately portrays a woman who has reclaimed her dignity and refuses to be drawn back into a toxic relationship, finding strength in her own self-worth and the ability to laugh at the absurdity of her ex-lover's claims.
