Band history
Só Pra Contrariar was formed in Minas Gerais, Uberlândia, in 1989 by singer Alexandre Pires, who was 13 at the time. Pires convinced his brother, cousin, and some friends to form the band for fun. They took the name from a samba by the Carioca group Fundo de Quintal.
They started playing in bars around their hometown. In 1993 they recorded a demo tape and sent it to BMG. The label signed them and that same year, they released their self-titled debut album. This album sold more than 500,000 copies and they started touring heavily.
They kept releasing several albums through the 90s, but their fifth album (released in 1997) helped the group win the triple diamond record for selling 3 million copies. This feat had never been reached by a Brazilian artist with a single album.
In 1998, the group recorded their first album in Spanish which sold 700,000 copies. This album garnered them more awards around the world. In 1999, they released their second Spanish album titled Juegos de Amor. The album included a hit song titled "Santo Santo" that featured Cuban singer Gloria Estefan.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Te veras solo a ti
En cada momento
Tu manera de amar
Se apodera de mi
Y de mi sentimiento
Me da vida de mas
Yo me entrego entero
Y respiro despues
Porque siento que es
Amor verdadero
Me da miedo
Que un dia talvez
Ese amor se desprenda de mi
Pero se que el amor verdadero
Nunca piensa en el fin
Dame tu vida
Que quiero bendecirme
Con tu bendicion
Siguiendo los latidos
De tu corazon
Amor verdadero
No pido mas
Dame tu cuerpo
Que solo en tus brazos
Hallare placer
No quiero ni pensar
Que te podre perder
Mi nina te quiero
Cada dia mas

Olhe dentro de mim
Você pode se ver
A todo momento
O teu jeito de amar
Te faz dona de mim
E do meu sentimento
É um bem que me faz
Ter você é demais
Eu me entrego inteiro
Quando estou com você
Eu percebo que é
Amor verdadeiro
Tenho medo que um dia talvez
Esse amor se desprenda de mim
Mas o amor quando é verdadeiro
Não se pensa no fim
Coro.
Me dá teu colo
Eu quero me deitar
Sentir teu coração
Pulsando no embalo da nossa paixão
Menina te quero, te amo demais
Me dá teu corpo
Só ele pode alimentar o meu prazer
Não quero nem sonhar que posso te perder
Se eu perder você eu perco minha paz
Me dá teu colo
Eu quero me deitar
Sentir teu coração
Pulsando no embalo da nossa paixão
Menina te quero, te amo demais
Me dá teu corpo
Só ele pode alimentar o meu prazer
Não quero nem sonhar que posso te perder
Se eu perder você eu perco minha paz

Amor verdadeiro: Coríntios 13:4-7, "o amor é paciente, o amor é bondoso. Não inveja, não se vangloria, não se orgulha. Não maltrata, não procura seus interesses, não se ira facilmente, não guarda rancor. O amor não se alegra com a injustiça, mas se alegra com a verdade.
