Song Meaning of “Ela Te Tapeou – Ao Vivo” by Sambô
Ela Te Tapeou is an upbeat samba song by Sambô with romantic and flirtatious lyrics. The song paints a vivid picture of a man’s quest to win the affections of a beautiful woman. He puts all his charms on full display, singing of his ‘blood boiling heart’ and ‘melting soul’. He swears to ‘set her free [from] every sorrow’ if she will accept his passionate love.
The song is a classic story of one-sided love. The man is struggling to win the woman’s attention, but she seems uninterested, and in the end, his pleas for her love remain unanswered. Despite this, the upbeat tempo and cheerful lyrics show he perseveres, hoping against hope that one day, she may return his affections. In this way, Ela Te Plateau is a song about both struggle and hope for a better future.
