The Elements of Love: A Journey Through Nature and Self

Eduardo Dusek's song "Sou Eu" is a poetic exploration of the nature of love, using vivid imagery and metaphors drawn from the natural world. The lyrics begin with the singer asking the Sun to explain what love is, and the Sun responds by describing it as a great fire. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, where various elements of nature are consulted to define love, each offering a unique perspective.

The singer then turns to shells (búzios), which tell him that love is a game. This metaphor suggests the playful and unpredictable aspects of love. The Moon, with its many phases, describes love as a light that never ends, emphasizing its enduring and ever-changing nature. The Wind, representing change and movement, calls love a tempest, highlighting its powerful and sometimes chaotic force. Stars, symbols of eternity, describe love as pure eternity, suggesting its timeless and infinite quality.

Finally, the singer asks his own heart, which confidently replies that love is a combination of fire, water, sky, and earth. This holistic view encapsulates the multifaceted nature of love, encompassing passion, fluidity, freedom, and groundedness. The heart concludes by asserting, "Sente, o amor sou eu" (Feel, the love is me), indicating that love is an intrinsic part of the self. This declaration ties together the various natural elements, suggesting that love is a fundamental, all-encompassing force that resides within each person.
