Brigas

The song 'Brigas' by the Brazilian sertanejo duo Bruno e Marrone delves into the emotional turmoil that arguments can bring into a romantic relationship. The title 'Brigas' translates to 'Fights' in English, and the lyrics poignantly capture the senselessness of frequent quarreling between lovers. The opening lines set the stage for a reflection on the cyclical nature of arguments, highlighting how the couple ends up reconciling and smiling after each dispute, only to question why they allow these conflicts to occur in the first place.

The song questions the purpose of hurting love through arguments, suggesting that love should not be mistreated. It also touches on the external pressures couples face, as 'this people'—likely referring to society or those around them—seem to desire their separation. This external gaze adds another layer to the couple's struggles, as they not only have to navigate their own issues but also the expectations and judgments of others. The lyrics emphasize the triviality of the reasons behind their fights, which ultimately chip away at their love, causing it to 'die a little more' with each argument.

The final lines of the song are particularly powerful, as they equate the death of love with the death of the individuals in the relationship. Without love, the song suggests, we are alone, and in the process of love dying, both partners lose a part of themselves. This metaphorical death signifies the profound impact that a lack of love and constant fighting can have on a person's sense of self and well-being within a relationship.
