Feliz
Jorge Cruz Lyrics

In "Feliz," Jorge Cruz sings about the intense desire to see someone he cares about happy. The opening lines "Já nada me importa" ("Nothing matters to me anymore") lead into sensual imagery of wanting to be close to this person ("Um cerco à tua pele" - "A siege on your skin") and to taste their sweetness ("Um trago do teu mel" - "A sip of your honey"). However, the singer acknowledges that it's too late for him to stop running away from this person, causing him to feel isolated and alone ("Dou voltas e voltas / Mas não passo por ninguém" - "I go round and round / But I don't pass anyone"). The world itself seems to be avoiding him ("O mundo quis fugir também" - "The world wanted to run away too"). In spite of this, the desire to see the person happy remains strong and feels like the ultimate goal for the singer ("Ver-te mais feliz foi tudo o que eu quis" - "Seeing you happier was all I wanted").

Throughout the song, the lyrics use a lot of sensory imagery to evoke intense feelings of longing and desire. There is a tension between the physical yearning to be close to someone and the emotional distance that the singer feels. The line "Ao centro do fim" ("To the center of the end") suggests a finality to the relationship, or perhaps an impending separation, which makes the desire to see the person happy all the more urgent. Ultimately, the song is a visceral expression of the complex emotions that come with love and relationships.
