I'm Like a Bird

You're beautiful and that's for sure
You'll never ever fade
You're lovely, but it's not for sure
And I won't ever change

And though my love is rare
And though my love is true

I'm like a bird
I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is (soul is)
I don't know where my home is
And baby all I need for you to know is
I'm like a bird
I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is (soul is)
I don't know where my home is
All I need for you to know

Is your faith in me brings me to tears (ah)
Even after all these years, years
And it pains me so much to tell
That you don't know me that well

And though my love is rare
And though my love is true

I'm like a bird
I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is (soul is)
I don't know where my home is
And baby all I need for you to know is
I'm like a bird
I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is (soul is)
I don't know where my home is
And baby all I need for you to know is

It's not that I want to say goodbye
It's just that every time you try to
Tell me, me that you love me (oh, oh)
Each and every single day
I know I'm gonna have to eventually give you away, yeah

And though my love is rare, rare, rare
And though my love is true, yeah
Hey, I'm just scared
That we may fall through, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm like a bird (I'm like a bird)
I don't know where my soul is (soul is)
I don't know where my home is
And baby all I need for you to know is
I'm like a bird
I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is (soul is)
I don't know where my home is
And baby all I need for you to know is
I'm like a bird
I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is (soul is)
I don't know where my home is
And baby all I need for you to know is
I'm like a bird
I'll only fly away (I don't know where my soul is)
I don't know where my soul is
I don't know where my home is
And baby all I need for you to know is
I'm like a bird
I'll only fly away (I don't know where my soul is)
I don't know where my soul is
I don't know where my home is
And baby all I need for you to know is
I'm like a bird
I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is
I don't know where my home is
And baby all I need for you to know is

A Liberdade e o Voo de Im Like A Bird' de Nelly Furtado

A música 'I'm Like A Bird' da cantora canadense Nelly Furtado é uma expressão poética de liberdade e autodescoberta. Lançada no ano 2000, como parte do álbum 'Whoa, Nelly!', a canção rapidamente se tornou um sucesso, destacando-se pela sua melodia cativante e pela voz única de Furtado. A letra fala sobre a natureza efêmera do amor e a necessidade de liberdade individual, mesmo dentro de relacionamentos.

A metáfora central da música é a comparação da artista a um pássaro, que, apesar de capaz de amar verdadeiramente, sente a necessidade inata de voar livremente. A repetição do refrão 'I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away' ressalta a ideia de que, apesar de estar em um relacionamento, ela não pode prometer permanência ou estabilidade. A incerteza sobre onde sua 'alma' ou 'lar' se encontram sugere uma busca contínua por autoconhecimento e um espaço próprio no mundo.

A música também aborda a dor e a complexidade emocional de estar em um relacionamento onde há amor, mas também o reconhecimento de que a identidade pessoal pode levar a caminhos separados. A honestidade de Furtado ao expressar 'Your faith in me brings me to tears' e 'It's not that I wanna say goodbye' mostra a luta interna entre o desejo de estar com alguém e a necessidade de seguir seu próprio caminho. 'I'm Like A Bird' é, portanto, um hino à liberdade pessoal e à aceitação de que o amor pode ser raro e verdadeiro, mas nem sempre suficiente para manter alguém preso.
