Eu Te Amei

Felishia's song "Eu Te Amei" is a poignant exploration of love, heartbreak, and self-discovery. The lyrics recount a relationship where the protagonist gave everything to make it work, only to realize that their efforts were in vain. The repeated phrase "Foram só palavras" (They were just words) highlights the empty promises made by the partner, emphasizing the emotional toll of unfulfilled commitments. The protagonist's struggle to maintain the relationship is evident in lines like "Fazia tudo só pra tu me olhares" (I did everything just for you to look at me), showcasing the one-sided nature of their love.

The metaphor of turning a drop into an ocean, "Eras uma gota e eu tornei-te mar," illustrates the depth of the protagonist's feelings and the extent of their emotional investment. Despite this, the relationship ends, and the protagonist acknowledges that it is too late to salvage it. The recurring line "Já é tarde, é tarde" (It's too late, it's too late) signifies the acceptance of the end and the futility of further efforts. This realization leads to a powerful declaration of self-love: "Eu te amei, amor, mas eu me amo muito mais" (I loved you, but I love myself much more).

The song also touches on the theme of personal growth and transformation. The protagonist reflects on the numerous promises and efforts made, only to conclude that they have changed and can no longer tolerate the same treatment. The line "Acho que pensas que ainda sou a mesma, mas pra mim já chega" (I think you believe I'm still the same, but for me, it's enough) underscores this evolution. Ultimately, "Eu Te Amei" is a testament to the importance of self-respect and the journey towards self-love after the end of a relationship.
