Alô Galera

Banda San Marino's song 'Alô Galera' is a heartfelt expression of longing and heartache. The lyrics revolve around a man who is deeply in love and suffering from the absence of his beloved. The repeated refrain 'Alô galera, olha nós aqui de novo, bebo por ela, ai, ai, ai, como é gostoso' translates to 'Hello everyone, here we are again, I drink for her, oh, oh, oh, how good it is.' This refrain sets the tone for the song, indicating that the protagonist finds solace in drinking as he copes with his emotional pain.

The verses delve deeper into the protagonist's emotional turmoil. He addresses his 'moreninha' (a term of endearment for a brunette woman), pleading with her not to be so cruel and acknowledging the intense loneliness he feels. The lines 'Estou perdido a saudade me maltrata, por favor não seja ingrata estou queimando de paixão' translate to 'I am lost, longing torments me, please don't be ungrateful, I am burning with passion.' This vivid imagery highlights the depth of his suffering and the intensity of his love.

The song also touches on themes of confusion and enchantment. The protagonist admits to losing his sense of self, unsure if he is still a husband, and confesses that he drinks to forget his woes. The repeated mention of his divided mind and enchanted heart underscores the powerful hold this woman has over him. 'Meu Deus do céu to com a cabeça dividida, essa mulher na minha vida enfeitiçou meu coração' translates to 'My God, my mind is divided, this woman in my life has bewitched my heart.' This line encapsulates the central conflict of the song: the struggle between his overwhelming love and the pain it causes him.
