The Mischievous Escapade: Unraveling 'Que Pescar Que Nada'
The song 'Que Pescar Que Nada' by the Brazilian sertanejo duo Bruno e Marrone is a playful and cheeky narrative about a man's cunning plan to enjoy a night out with friends under the guise of going fishing. The lyrics start with the protagonist expressing a sense of relief and readiness for leisure, having settled his debts and taken care of responsibilities. He prepares for what seems like a fishing trip, gathering gear and supplies, including a full tank of gas, cigarettes, and good liquor.
However, the chorus reveals the true intentions behind the so-called fishing trip. The protagonist has no plans to fish; instead, he looks forward to partying, flirting, and enjoying the company of women. The phrase 'Que pescar que nada' translates to 'Fishing, no way' or 'Forget about fishing,' emphasizing the ruse. He reassures his wife that the outing is a well-behaved affair, but the repeated chorus suggests otherwise, highlighting a night of revelry and indulgence.
The song plays with the theme of escapism and the desire for freedom from domestic constraints. It humorously portrays the lengths to which someone might go to have a good time, even if it means deceiving their partner. The repeated lines about having 'seven for each man' suggest an overabundance of opportunities for pleasure, further underlining the festive and carefree atmosphere the protagonist seeks. 'Que Pescar Que Nada' is a lighthearted take on male camaraderie, mischief, and the pursuit of enjoyment.
