As a teenager, Sangalo started to sing and play acoustic guitar at events, festivals and presentations of the school where she studied. Her debut show happened in the Ondina Neighborhood, Salvador, in August 1992. With that show she won the Dorival Caymmi trophy, the Grammy of Bahian music.
In 1993, Sony decided to reform the axé group Banda Eva and she was chosen as the lead singer. With her charismatic image, their first album soon topped the Brazilian album chart. Her live album with the band, Banda Eva Ao Vivo, was their best-selling album, selling over a million copies in 1997. In 1999, she decided to start a solo career and released her first self-titled album. With lots of upbeat Bahian rhythms and axé, the album received gold and platinum certification. The following year she released another album, Beat Beleza, which also achieved platinum status.
In 2001 she released the album Festa. The title teack was very popular and the album got platinum certification. "Festa" was her biggest hit single up to that point and the video also received huge airplay. "Festa" ended up being the most popular song of 2001 in Brazil. In 2002, she released the compilation album Se Eu Não Te Amasse Tanto Assim, titled after one of her biggest number-one hits. The album, which features a duet with American singer Brian McKnight, didn't sell as much , but was still a hit. Following Se Eu Não Te Amasse Tanto Assim, she released Clube Carnavalesco Inocentes Em Progresso in 2003. It was the lowest-selling solo album of her career but it still managed to receive gold certification.
Her first solo live album MTV Ao Vivo Ivete Sangalo released in 2004, included her biggest hits, lots of them never released on an album before, and some Banda Eva hits. The album received diamond certification and was the second best-selling album of 2004.
Her 2005 album, As Supernovas, received triple platinum certification shortly after it's release. The album was less upbeat than the others and included some songs with a 70's touch, with the big influence of Brazilian singer Ed Motta. She also included the hit "Soy Loco Por Ti America", a Gilberto Gil song. "Quando a Chuva Passar" recently reached number two on the Brazilian singles chart and was notable for being nominated at the Latin Grammy Awards, an uncommon feature for a non-Spanish speaking singer.
On December 16, 2006, she performed in the biggest stadium in the world, Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro, where Paul McCartney, Rolling Stones, Kiss, The Police, and Madonna have also performed. She was the first Brazilian act to perform in this stadium since pop phenomenon Sandy & Junior in 2002.
Ivete has sold more than 7 million CD copies and more than 2.5 million DVD copies.
Si Yo No Te Amase Tanto Asi
Ivete Sangalo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Volando solo por volar
Sin saber dónde llegar
Soñando con encontrar las estrellas
Que hoy yo descubrí en tu mirar
Las estrellas van a guiar
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Tal vez perdiera el sueño
Dentro de mí
Yo vivo en la oscuridad
Si no te amase tanto así
Tal vez no vi las flores
A donde fui
Dentro de mi corazón
Dentro de mi corazón
Hoy yo sé que te amé
El viento de un temporal
Más, fue más, mucho más
El tiempo del vendaval
Los deseos en un beso
Que jamás podré yo dar
Las estrellas, la señal
Ha, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Si no te amase tanto así
Tal vez perdiera el sueño
Dentro de mí
Yo vivo en la oscuridad
Si no te amase tanto así
Tal vez no vi las flores
A donde fui
Dentro de mi
Mi corazón
The lyrics of "Si Yo No Te Amase Tanto Asi" describe a person whose heart is wandering aimlessly, without direction, and flying alone just for the sake of flying. This person doesn't know where they will end up and dreams of finding the stars that they have discovered in the eyes of their loved one. The stars become a guiding force for them.
The lyrics suggest that if the person didn't love their partner so much, they might lose sleep and live in darkness. The love they feel illuminates their life and allows them to see the beauty in the world. Without this love, they might not have noticed the flowers or experienced joy and happiness. The depth of their love is reflected in the depths of their heart.
The passage also mentions a storm and a strong wind, symbolizing the turbulence and challenges that the person faced in their relationship. Despite these difficulties, they realize that their love for their partner is so much more than just the passing storm. It is something enduring and powerful that eclipses any temporary hardship.
The lyrics convey the idea that without this profound love, the person's life would be empty and unfulfilled. Their heart would lack purpose and direction. The love they share with their partner brings light to their existence, allowing them to see the beauty around them and bringing meaning to their life.
