The Romantic Promises of 'Tenho' by Sidney Magal

The song 'Tenho' by Sidney Magal is a vibrant declaration of love and commitment, filled with promises of affection and a life of shared happiness. The lyrics speak of a lover who has an abundance of sensations, emotions, and physical expressions of love to offer. The repeated use of the word 'Tenho,' which means 'I have' in Portuguese, emphasizes the certainty and the richness of what the singer is willing to give to his beloved.

The song's chorus, with its hopeful tone, is an invitation for the beloved to make a decision to live together and share the happiest days. The repetition of 'Serão os dias mais felizes' ('They will be the happiest days') and 'É só dizer que sim' ('It's just saying yes') reflects the singer's optimism and the simplicity of the choice that lies ahead. The laughter in the lyrics can be interpreted as a manifestation of joy and confidence in the love that is offered.

Sidney Magal's musical style often includes elements of romanticism, sensuality, and a touch of drama, which are all present in 'Tenho.' The song's vivid imagery of a 'côr-de-rosa' (pink-colored) world full of wonderful things that the beloved has always dreamed of, paints a picture of an idealized, fairy-tale romance. The repetition of 'mil' (a thousand) to describe the number of ways the singer can show love—through embraces, kisses, and nights together—exaggerates the depth of his feelings and the extent of his devotion.
