Só Tinha De Ser Com Você

Vanessa da Mata's song "Só Tinha De Ser Com Você" is a heartfelt exploration of love's inevitability and the deep connection between two souls. The lyrics convey a sense of destiny, suggesting that the love the singer has been holding onto was always meant for this one person. The phrase "só eu sei quanto amor eu guardei" (only I know how much love I kept) highlights the depth and intensity of the emotions that have been stored away, waiting for the right person to come along.

The song emphasizes the idea that this love was predestined, as seen in the lines "só tinha de ser com você" (it had to be with you) and "havia de ser prá você" (it had to be for you). This sense of inevitability is contrasted with the pain that would have existed if this love had not found its rightful place, as expressed in "senão era mais uma dor" (otherwise it would be just another pain). The lyrics suggest that true love is something rare and precious, something that cannot be seen but is deeply felt.

Vanessa da Mata also uses vivid imagery to describe the beloved, referring to them as being "feita de azul" (made of blue), which evokes a sense of tranquility and beauty. The singer longs to find peace in this love, to reside in the calm and beauty that the beloved represents. The repetition of the lines "eu sempre fui só de você, você sempre foi só de mim" (I have always been only yours, you have always been only mine) reinforces the idea of an exclusive and profound bond, a love that is mutual and unwavering.
