Eu Sei, Tu És

Santamaria's song 'Eu Sei, Tu És' delves into the emotional chaos and inner conflict experienced in the throes of unrequited love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is deeply infatuated with someone who does not reciprocate their feelings. The repeated phrase 'Tu és loucura, és o meu prazer' (You are madness, you are my pleasure) highlights the intense and almost irrational nature of their affection. This love is described as an 'aventura' (adventure), suggesting that it is both thrilling and unpredictable, yet ultimately unattainable.

The singer's struggle is evident in lines like 'Quando te falo, não sei que dizer' (When I talk to you, I don't know what to say) and 'Eu só queria poder-te esquecer' (I just wanted to forget you). These lines convey a sense of helplessness and confusion, as the person grapples with their emotions and the reality of their situation. The repeated assertion 'Nós não somos iguais' (We are not the same) underscores the fundamental differences between the two individuals, which further complicates the possibility of a mutual relationship.

The chorus, 'Eu sei, tu és a minha loucura, mas eu já não sei se eu sei, se és o amor que sonhava e que sempre eu quis ter' (I know, you are my madness, but I no longer know if I know, if you are the love I dreamed of and always wanted to have), encapsulates the core of the song's message. It reflects the singer's internal conflict and doubt about whether this intense infatuation is truly the love they have always desired. The song poignantly captures the essence of longing, confusion, and the painful realization that some loves are not meant to be.
