Quando Eu Te Vejo

Floribella's song 'Quando Eu Te Vejo' is a poignant exploration of longing, hope, and the power of dreams. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a melancholic yet hopeful individual who is waiting for a significant change in their life. The opening lines, 'Vejo cair as gotas desta chuva tão fria / E tudo sempre igual mas vai mudar um dia,' set the tone of a monotonous existence that the protagonist believes will eventually transform. The imagery of cold rain and the promise of a brighter future encapsulate the essence of enduring hope and patience.

The chorus reveals the depth of the protagonist's feelings when they see the person they long for: 'Porque quando eu te vejo / A voz fica calada / Porque tudo é distante e sem ti não há mais nada.' This suggests a profound emotional impact, where the presence of the beloved renders the protagonist speechless and highlights the emptiness felt in their absence. The mention of 'não existe um feitiço nem príncipe encantado' underscores the disillusionment with fairy-tale solutions, emphasizing that real-life love and fulfillment are more complex and elusive.

In the final verse, the protagonist's dreams take center stage: 'Num dia lindo e claro, ponho-me a imaginar / Que numa carruagem tu vens me buscar.' This imagery of a beautiful day and a carriage ride symbolizes the ultimate romantic fantasy, a 'final feliz' or happy ending that the protagonist yearns for. The song beautifully captures the tension between reality and dreams, illustrating the eternal hope of a 'sonhadora' or dreamer who waits for their fairy-tale ending despite the challenges and disappointments of real life.
