Help me, God
Where did I go wrong?
I only know that I loved
That I loved, that I loved, that I loved
Maybe it will be
That my illusion
Was giving my heart
With all my strength to this girl
Make me happy
And fate didn't want it
See me as root
Of a fleur de lis
And that's how I saw it
Our love in the dust, dust
Dead in the cold beauty of Mary
And my garden of life
Withered, died
From the foot that sprouted Mary
Not even a daisy was born
And my garden of life
Withered, died
From the foot that sprouted Mary
Not even a daisy was born
Help me, God
It's the end of our love
Forgive, please
I know the mistake happened
But I don't know what he did
Everything changes once and for all
Where did I go wrong?
I only know that I loved
That I loved, that I loved, that I loved
Maybe it will be
That my illusion
Was giving my heart
With all my strength to this girl
Make me happy
And fate didn't want it
See me as root
Of a fleur de lis
And that's how I saw it
Our love in the dust, dust
Dead in the cold beauty of Mary
And my garden of life
Withered, died
From the foot that sprouted Mary
Not even a daisy was born
And my garden of life
Withered, died
From the foot that sprouted Mary
Not even a daisy was born
And my garden of life
Withered, died
From the foot that sprouted Mary
Not even a daisy was born

Valei-meHelp me / Save me

Valei-me is an archaic and dramatic plea meaning "Help me" or "Save me." It's a less common, more formal way to ask for help, often used in exclamations or prayers.

In the song, it sets a somber and desperate tone right from the start: "Valei-me, Deus" (Help me, God). This powerful opening immediately draws the listener into the narrator's anguish over a lost love, making it a memorable and emotionally charged word.

"Flor De Lis" is a heartbreak song. The singer is begging God for help because a relationship has ended, and they genuinely don't understand what went wrong. They know a mistake happened, but not what caused everything to change so suddenly.

The song leans on garden imagery to describe the loss. The singer gave their heart fully to someone, hoping to make her happy, but fate had other plans. Instead of growing into a fleur de lis, that love is pictured withering into dust. Their whole "garden of life" dries up and dies, and from the root that once sprouted, not even a simple daisy manages to bloom.

It's a gentle, acoustic-leaning pop song about confusion and grief after a breakup, where the singer keeps circling back to the same question: where did I go wrong?
