Você E Eu
Paula Morelenbaum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
E podem mesmo falar mal, ficar de mal que não faz mal
Podem preparar milhões de festas ao luar
Que eu não vou ir, melhor nem pedir, que eu não vou ir, não quero ir
E também podem me intrigar e até sorrir e até chorar
E podem mesmo imaginar o que melhor lhes parecer
E que é uma pena para quem me conheceu
Eu sou mais você e eu
Podem espalhar que estou cansado de viver
E que é uma pena para quem me conheceu
Eu sou mais você e eu
In Paula Morelenbaum's song "Você e Eu," the singer is declaring her independence and making it clear that she will not be swayed by anyone's opinions, choices or actions. She begins the song by stating that people can call her, request things of her, and even talk negatively about her, but she is unmoved by their words and actions. She is not interested in attending any parties or events, regardless of how many are planned, because she simply does not want to go. She goes on to say that people can try to get under her skin by causing drama or even crying, but ultimately, their opinions and actions don't matter because she is fully committed to herself and her own well-being.
The lyrics also touch on the idea that others may spread rumors about the singer, such as her being tired of life or a disappointment to those who know her. However, she dismisses these rumors without hesitation, stating that she is content with who she is and the life she leads. The final line of the song is a repeated sentiment that she and her love interest are the most important people in each other's lives, and no one can change that.
In summary, "Você e Eu" is a song about self-empowerment and staying true to oneself. The lyrics reflect the idea that we cannot control what others think or say, but we can control how we react to it and how we choose to live our lives.
