Dangerously in love
The lyrics of Beyoncé's "Dangerously in Love 2" are a testament to how her love for her significant other sets her free from any troubles or darkness she might face. The chorus particularly emphasizes how her love for this person is a matter of life and death. The song's hook, "I am in love with you, you set me free, I can't do this thing called life without you here with me, 'cause I'm dangerously in love with you," is a powerful declaration of unconditional love. The lyrics mention the support that Beyoncé has received from her lover, who is always by her side, which acts as a source of light and positivity throughout her life. The song also hints at the couple's future together, visualizing a relationship where Beyoncé is her lover's wife and mother of their child.
The lyrics of this song reflect several themes that Beyoncé has explored in her music career. She stresses the importance of trusting your partner, loyalty, and never giving up. Furthermore, she focuses on a broader issue surrounding cultural expectations that states that women require a man to feel complete. Beyoncé flips this idea around, highlighting that love is about mutual support and growth as a couple. It's not just about needing a man; it's about finding the right person to grow with and build a life together. Beyoncé concludes the song with the repetition of the phrase "I love you," driving home the message of unconditional love for her significant other.

te amo (3x)
Baby te amo,
Você é minha vida
Meus momentos mais felizes estariam incompletos
Se você não estivesse ao meu lado
Você é minha relação
E conexão ao sol
Com você próximo a mim
Não há escuridão que eu não possa superar
Você é meus pingos de chuva,
Eu sou a semente
Com você e Deus que são minha luz solar
Eu estou florescendo crescendo assim formosamente
Baby eu estou tão orgulhosa,
Orgulhosa de ser sua menina
Você faz a confusão
E tudo se afastar
Deste frio e nublado mundo
Eu estou apaixonada por você
Você me liberta
Eu não posso enfrentar esta coisa
Chamada vida sem você aqui comigo
Porque eu estou perigosamente apaixonada por você
Eu nunca partirei
Somente continue me amando
Do jeito que eu amo você me amando
E eu sei que você me ama,
Me ama pelo o quê eu sou
Porque anos antes de eu me tornar o que sou,
Baby, você era meu homem
Eu sei que nao é facil,
Facil me amar
E eu aprecio o amor e dedicação
De você para mim
Mais tarde em meu destino
Eu me vejo tendo seu filho
Eu me vejo sendo sua esposa,
E eu vejo meu futuro inteiro em seus olhos
O pensamento de todo meu amor por você
Às vezes me faz chorar
Eu percebo todas minhas bênçãos,
Eu agradeço
Por tê-lo ao meu lado
Eu estou apaixonada por você
Você me liberta
Eu não posso fazer esta coisa
Chamada vida sem você aqui comigo
Porque eu estou perigosamente apaixonada por você
Eu nunca partirei
Somente continue me amando
Do jeito que eu amo você me amando
Toda vez que eu vejo seu rosto,
Meu coração sorri
Toda vez me sinto tão bem,
Às vezes dói
Criado neste mundo
Para amar e abraçar
Para sentir,
Para respirar,
Para viver voce
Perigosamente apaixonada...
Eu não posso fazer esta coisa
Eu te amo, eu te amo, eu te amo
Eu nunca partirei
Somente continue me amando
Do jeito que eu amo você
Eu não posso fazer
Eu não posso fazer nada, sem você na minha vida
Me abraçando, me beijando, me amando
Perigosamente
Eu te amo
Perigosamente apaixonada

@BlissBriii
anyone miss this Beyonce? Love her new music but this is when she made herself a household name as a soloist for me 😍😍
@vaw796
Yes, these songs display her song writing ability. I don't know why a song like Sorry needs 7 writers. Sure she has to grow, but it's like she is going backwards with her song writing.
@jadenfunkin6604
