Amei

In 'Amei,' Péricles delves into the profound emotional turmoil that follows a love that was once believed to be eternal but ultimately turned out to be an illusion. The song opens with the artist reflecting on how he loved with the intention of making the passion last forever. This sets the stage for a narrative of heartbreak and disillusionment, as he admits to having been carried away by the illusion of an everlasting love.

The repetition of the lines 'Amei, como quem pensou / Em eternizar, nossa paixão' emphasizes the depth of his initial commitment and the subsequent pain of realizing that his dreams were built on a fragile foundation. The chorus reveals the extent of his suffering, with his heart described as 'doente' (sick) and the memory of his lover's kiss intensifying his anguish. This vivid imagery paints a picture of a man deeply wounded by love, unable to escape the shadow of his past relationship.

Péricles' soulful delivery and the melancholic melody further amplify the song's emotional weight. The lyrics 'Teu calor, me faltou / Me doeu, magoou' highlight the physical and emotional void left by his lover's absence. The phrase 'Cego de amor' (blind with love) encapsulates the theme of being blinded by passion, only to be left in the darkness of heartbreak. Through 'Amei,' Péricles captures the universal experience of loving deeply and the subsequent pain of realizing that the love was not as enduring as one had hoped.
