Sem Abuso

Art Popular's song 'Sem Abuso' delves into the complexities of love, trust, and commitment. The lyrics begin with a portrayal of a relationship where one partner expresses deep affection and exclusivity, only for the other to suspect these declarations as mere manipulations. This sets the stage for a narrative about the emotional turmoil and the struggle to maintain trust in a relationship. The mention of 'Bagda chorando' (Baghdad crying) juxtaposed with the partner's indifference on the sidewalk paints a vivid picture of emotional dissonance and the pain of unreciprocated feelings.

The chorus, 'Sem abuso, sem abuso, sem abuso,' which translates to 'Without abuse, without abuse, without abuse,' emphasizes the need for a relationship free from manipulation and emotional harm. The repetition underscores the importance of mutual respect and genuine affection. The singer's assertion, 'Se eu tô com você, não sou de ninguém, eu sou o seu bem,' meaning 'If I'm with you, I'm not with anyone else, I am your good,' highlights a commitment to fidelity and the desire for a reciprocal, abuse-free relationship.

The song also touches on the broader societal context, mentioning 'Tanta gente no veneno do mundo,' or 'So many people in the world's poison,' suggesting that many are caught in toxic relationships. The plea to 'senta aqui, pensa bem, pode crer' (sit here, think well, believe) is a call for introspection and recognizing that love should transcend all challenges. Art Popular uses their signature samba and pagode rhythms to convey these profound themes, making 'Sem Abuso' not just a song, but a heartfelt message about the essence of true love and respect in relationships.
