My Girl
Forever Slave Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Minha garota (ela a ama)

O verão está no fim
O sofrimento estava em seus corações
Milhares de promessas
Quando elas estavam separadas

O tempo é lento demais

Quando você não está perto de mim
Nós nunca esqueceremos, meu amor, aquele verão

Minha garota, você é minha garota
Tarde demais, é tarde demais
Quando poderei olhar esses olhos

Eu disse, nós dissemos
Tarde demais, é tarde demais
Eu estava a olhando para sentir seus lábios

Male:
Eu não acredito em você
Eu quero que você explique pra mim
Eu preciso saber tudo.

Eu não acredito em você
Eu preciso conhecer você
Eu preciso saber tudo.

Eu vou para uma estrada
E eu a vejo todo o tempo
Alguns amigos contaram-me isso
Eles a viram com uma menina

Nós éramos duas almas
E nós nos amamos
Mas você esqueceu suas promessas

Male:
Eu não acredito em você
Eu quero que você explique pra mim
Eu preciso saber tudo.

Eu não acredito em você

Eu preciso conhecer você
Eu preciso saber tudo.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Forever Slave's song "Minha Garota" tells a story of two people who were in love during the summer but had to part ways. They made promises of forever but time went by slowly and their separation became more painful. The chorus repeats "Minha garota, você é minha garota" (My girl, you are my girl) but with the addition of "tarde demais" (too late), indicating the regret and sorrow of the singer for not being able to be with their girl. The male voice comes in towards the end and accuses the girl of breaking promises and being with someone else. The song ends with the need for explanation and the yearning for closure.

The lyrics can be interpreted as a representation of the fleeting nature of love and the inevitable sense of loss that comes with it. The seasonal metaphor of summer ending can be seen as a symbol of the romantic relationship coming to an end as well. The repetition of the phrase "Minha garota" emphasizes the possessiveness and longing of the singer, while the male voice adds a layer of complexity to the story and reveals the possibility of betrayal.
