Você é Sublime

The song 'Você é Sublime' by Trolls delves into the bittersweet emotions of unrequited love and the feeling of inadequacy that often accompanies it. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who is deeply infatuated with another person, yet feels that this love is unattainable. The repeated acknowledgment of the beloved's sublimity underscores the sense of awe and admiration the singer feels, but also highlights the painful realization that this person is 'too much' for them, beyond their reach.

The song opens with the singer confessing their familiarity with the beloved's song, a metaphor for understanding and being attuned to their essence. The line 'Quem fez você sorrir, fez só pra me atrapalhar' suggests a sense of jealousy and frustration, as the singer feels that the joy of the beloved is a barrier to their own happiness. This sentiment is further emphasized by the desire to love the beloved but feeling incapable of doing so, as expressed in 'Quero poder te amar, mas eu não sei como não.'

The chorus, with its repetition of 'Você é sublime, demais para mim,' serves as a poignant reminder of the singer's perceived inadequacy. The use of the word 'sublime' elevates the beloved to an almost divine status, making the singer's feelings of unworthiness even more pronounced. The song also touches on the futility of words in expressing true emotions, as seen in 'Pra que palavras que não dizem o que convém,' suggesting that some feelings are too profound to be captured by language. Ultimately, the song is a melancholic reflection on the beauty and pain of loving someone who seems too perfect to be within one's grasp.
