Be The Man
Céline Dion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never sure that love would grow
Now at night as I lay me down to sleep
I could never let you go, no
And lying here with you
I still can't believe it's true
Never thought that I would ever
Be the man that's mine
Find the love that never goes away
Be the heart I know will be
The one that beats for me, be the man
Used to be scared if I would ever get this close
I'm not afraid to touch you now
Long before I knew, I'd be making love to you
I dreamed that maybe I would one day
Lose myself in someone, someday
Be the man that's mine
I always try to find the love that never goes away
Be the heart I know will be
The one that beats for me, be the man
Take me where I've never been, oh baby
I will follow you, you'll never be alone
I will run, run to you, yeah (yeah)
I never thought that I would ever
Find a love that lasts forever
Be the man that's mine
I always try to find the love that never goes away
Tell me we will always be together
Make us stay in love this way forever
Be the heart I know will be
The one that beats for me
Wherever you may be
Always be with me, be the man
The song "Be the Man" by Celine Dion is about finding a love that lasts forever. The singer talks about how she used to be scared of falling in love, always fighting not to get too deep, and never certain that love would grow. But now, she has found love and can't imagine ever letting go. She describes lying with her new partner, still in disbelief that she has found someone who will love her forever. She asks him to be the man that is hers, the heart that beats for her, and the love that never goes away.
The lyrics portray the fear and uncertainty that often accompany new relationships. The singer has been hurt before and is cautious about letting herself fall in love again. However, she eventually opens herself up to the possibility of finding someone who will love her unconditionally. The song is ultimately a celebration of finding that kind of love.

Essa música é um atestado de compromisso eterno com uma pessoa! Hoje em dia ser amor de alguém e fazer juras de amor com essa música é algo que se deve pensar 2 vezes. Zygmunt Bauman já dizia que o Amor líquido é um amor “até segundo aviso”, o amor a partir do padrão dos bens de consumo:
mantenha-os enquanto eles te trouxerem satisfação e os substitua por outros que
prometem ainda mais satisfação.
A ideia é que não damos mais atenção aos nossos relacionamentos.Pois, as transformações constantes da sociedade nos colocam numa posição de ignorância a esse respeito. Ou seja, ignoramos que algo
não está indo bem e nos acomodamos.
Logo, com as vidas muito aceleradas e em constante mudança, como ficam nossas relações? O quanto de atenção damos às pessoas que amamos? Será que realmente fazemos de tudo para que o amor dure?
O amor líquido representa o momento em que nossas relações não conseguem acompanhar a rapidez com que o mundo evolui. Ou seja, não podemos consertar tudo. Desse modo, corresponde ao esforço real que fazemos para manter o amor em nossos relacionamentos.
Logo, o amor líquido é aquele amor descartável, que pode ser trocado a qualquer momento. Isto é, não há compromisso e a relação é frágil. Pois, os parceiros são trocados a todo momento, visando sempre “algo melhor”. Assim, esse é um amor que escorre por entre as mãos. Não assume forma, se dispersa não tem firmeza.
