This one is emphatic in the sense that it puts stress on the fact that
*I* am doing the loving (unfortunately, not in real life ;). The next
one, "Hushuka dè sala", is more along the lines of shouting one's love
from the mountaintops. Basically the equivalent of saying "I love you
more than anything in the world, always have, always will, from now
until eternity" with great romantic deportment and gravity. :)
