Flor Que Se Cheira

Bruna Fulô's song "Flor Que Se Cheira" delves into the complexities of a relationship that defies conventional expectations. The phrase "flor que se cheira" is a Brazilian idiom that translates to "a flower to be smelled," often used to describe someone who is not entirely trustworthy or respectable. In this context, both individuals in the relationship are described as not being "flowers to be smelled," implying they both have questionable pasts or reputations. Despite this, they find themselves unexpectedly drawn to each other, leading to a night of passion and a morning of reflection.

The lyrics explore the tension between their reputations and their genuine feelings for each other. The line "O peixe morre pela própria boca" (The fish dies by its own mouth) suggests that their own actions and words have led them to this point, highlighting the irony and inevitability of their situation. The song questions what happens when two people, who are not typically seen as trustworthy or serious, find themselves in a serious and unexpected romantic entanglement. The repeated question, "Como é que faz?" (What do we do?), underscores their confusion and the unpredictability of their emotions.

Bruna Fulô's musical style often blends traditional Brazilian rhythms with contemporary pop elements, creating a sound that is both nostalgic and modern. In "Flor Que Se Cheira," this blend enhances the lyrical themes of contradiction and unexpected romance. The song captures the essence of a relationship that starts as a casual fling but evolves into something more meaningful, challenging the characters to navigate their feelings and the societal perceptions that come with them.
