Ray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Faltou pouco pra eu tirar
Você da minha vida de vez
O problema é que eu nem me toquei
Que a saudade ia judiar
E de uns dias pra cá piorei
Mas de uma coisa eu sei
De amor é que eu não vou morrer
Vou trocando sua boca por pinga
Seu corpo por outro
E tentando viver
Tem que ser forte
Pra viver assim
Se o amor que morreu dentro dela
Ainda vive em mim
In Ray's song "Amor," the lyrics convey the singer's struggle to overcome a past relationship and move on with his life. The first verse reflects Ray's progress in almost getting over his ex-partner. He feels he is close to removing her from his life for good. However, he soon realizes that he didn't fully comprehend how much he would be affected by the longing for her. The following line suggests that his nostalgia is causing him pain, and in recent days, he has gotten worse.
Despite his struggles, Ray acknowledges one thing – that he hasn't died from a hangover until now, implying that he has indulged in distracting himself with excesses like drinking. However, the line "De amor é que eu não vou morrer" reveals that he refuses to let love be the cause of his demise. Instead, he finds solace by exchanging the memory of her lips for the taste of alcohol and replacing the intimacy of her body with someone else's. Through this, he tries to live life and move forward.
The chorus emphasizes the strength required to live in such a way. Ray implies that it takes a strong person to carry the weight of their emotions and endure the pain caused by the love that died within his ex-partner but still dwells within him. He recognizes that even though their love is over, the feelings he had for her continue to linger and impact his present.
Overall, the lyrics of "Amor" showcase Ray's journey of trying to heal from a past relationship. He confronts the difficulty of moving on, the temptation to drown his sorrows in temporary distractions, and the resilience it takes to live with the remnants of love that still reside within him.

Yo como miembro del grupo, respeto todas las criticas a pesar de ser un tema de hace 20 años, que claramente no puede sonar actual, pero si deciros que lo que vivimos en aquella epoca no se volvera a vivir en este pais en mucho tiempo, la realidad esta ahi , por aquellos entonces habia cientos de discotecas mas, una diversion super sana y unos fines de semana para recordar, lastima que se haya perdido todo eso, ojala algun dia volviese, pero nos quedamos con el recuerdo todos los que lo vivimos.
Jorge Casal
De acuerdo totalmente Contigo...yo nací en el 67 y te puedo decir que los años 80 fueron sencillamente......MAGICOS.

Lo mejor sin duda es que no parecíais prefabricados. No teníais ninguno de los dos cara de haber pasado castings de belleza, teníais pinta de poder haber pasado por fontaneros, electricistas o reponedores del Continente cualquiera, lo cuál hace la música más auténtica.

A mi me molaba mucho este tema. El tío de los teclados era muy hot.

Para los que no lo sepan tanto Ray como los Viceversa, Obk, Santuario, Berlin, Ultimatum, etc... fueron los reyes del tecno-pop en los 90, mucho mas contundentes que muchos grupos de hoy en día, que la fiesta de antes no tenga nada que ver a lo que hoy en dia se denomina fiesta es mas que sabido por los que vivimos aquellos mágicos tiempos.
