The Price of Love: Beth Carvalho's 'Lá Vem Ela Chorando (Dinheiro Não Há)'

Beth Carvalho's song 'Lá Vem Ela Chorando (Dinheiro Não Há)' delves into the complexities of love, desire, and materialism. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a woman who is crying, and the narrator quickly deduces that her tears are not due to physical pain but rather a desire for money. The phrase 'Mulher da orgia quando começa a chorar, quer dinheiro' suggests that the woman, possibly involved in a hedonistic lifestyle, equates love or affection with financial gain. However, the narrator firmly states, 'Dinheiro não há,' emphasizing that money is not available or will not be given.

The song further explores the narrator's perspective on love and relationships. He claims to have an abundance of affection ('Carinho eu tenho demais') and even offers to provide physical comfort ('Pancada também não há de faltar'). Yet, he draws a clear line when it comes to money, asserting that he will not provide financial support ('Dinheiro, isso não, isso eu não dou a mulher'). This dichotomy between emotional and material support highlights a tension often found in relationships where one party seeks financial stability while the other offers emotional richness.

Beth Carvalho, a renowned figure in Brazilian samba, uses this song to critique the commodification of love. The narrator's willingness to 'fazer descer a terra, o céus e as estrelas'—to bring down the earth, the heavens, and the stars—if the woman desires, underscores the depth of his emotional commitment. However, his refusal to provide money serves as a poignant commentary on the limits of materialism in genuine relationships. Through this narrative, Carvalho invites listeners to reflect on the true value of love and the often misguided pursuit of wealth as a substitute for emotional fulfillment.
