Cultural Note
'Perdidamente apaixonado/a' (hopelessly in love) is one of the strongest romantic expressions in Portuguese. Literally meaning 'lostly,' it conveys the idea of being so deeply in love that you have lost yourself in the other person. This concept of all-consuming love is a recurring theme in Portuguese fado and Brazilian MPB.
