Eli's Quickies - Our Love Song

Because it's almost Valentines' Day!

And we need more Love in the world!

I shared earlier an old Portuguese song on Threads for #musiconleo!

I tried to find the translation of the lyrics because I already failed on the video saying that "só gosto de ti" is "I just like you" but it makes more sense to say "I only like you" lol

Anyway...it reminds me of when my husband and I were dating!

We lived for a few years in a long-distance relationship as he is from the island we live in and I'm from the mainland! He was studying in Lisbon back then and I was living with my parents on the other side of the Tagus (or Tejo in Portuguese) river in Almada.

We would use the ships passing both sides of the river as public transport to be together!

I will add the music video and the lyrics in English below:

I Only Like You
Sitting by the pier
Looking at the sea from far away
And the bridge over the Tagus*
If it's so beautiful
It's because of you
And of this wish of mine
After all it is worth it
Not to think of someone else

I only like you
Why? I don't know
But im fine like this
And so are you
I only like you
Why? I don't know
But im fine like this
And so are you

There goes the liner
Here the ship passes by
There they go traveling
If you were here
You would like it like me
You would like to watch them go by
After all it is worth it
Not to think of someone else

I only like you
Why? I don't know
But im fine like this
And so are you
I only like you
Why? I don't know
But im fine like this
And so are you

I only like you
Why? I don't know
But im fine like this
And so are you
I only like you
Why? I don't know
But im fine like this
And so are you

I only like you
Why? I don't know
But im fine like this
And so are you
I only like you
Why? I don't know
But im fine like this
And so are you

I only like you
Why? I don't know
But im fine like this
And so are you
I only like you
Why? I don't know
But im fine like this
And so are you

Long-distance relationships can be difficult for some!

But after 20 years and a son...we are proof that it can be managed!

Love conquers all :)
