Eu Era

The song 'Eu Era' by Marcos & Belutti is a poignant reflection on love lost and the realization of what one had only after it's gone. The lyrics tell the story of someone who has been left behind, observing their former partner's attempts to move on and find happiness in the single life. The protagonist sees their ex dressing up, going out with friends, and trying to enjoy the freedom of being single, yet they sense that these efforts are not truly fulfilling.

The chorus of the song is a powerful expression of regret and missed opportunity. The repeated line 'Eu era,' which translates to 'I was,' underscores the realization that the protagonist was the 'right one' or the 'perfect someone' that their ex is still searching for. The lyrics suggest that the ex-partner is kissing new people but finding that these kisses lack the depth and meaning of the ones they shared with the protagonist. The song captures the bittersweet feeling of knowing that you were once everything your ex wanted, but now that time has passed, and they are left with the memory of what was.

The emotional weight of the song is carried by the sertanejo style, a genre of Brazilian music that often deals with themes of love, heartache, and rural life. Marcos & Belutti are known for their emotive ballads that resonate with many who have experienced the complexities of relationships. 'Eu Era' taps into the universal experience of looking back on a past relationship and realizing that what you had was special, and perhaps, irreplaceable.
