Solteiro Desapegado

“Solteiro Desapegado” by Cleber e Cauan is a lively celebration of singlehood and independence. The song's lyrics convey a sense of joy and gratitude for the freedom that comes with being unattached. The repeated lines, “Levanta a mão pro céu e diga obrigado, eu to solteiro, eu to largado,” translate to “Raise your hand to the sky and say thank you, I’m single, I’m free,” emphasizing the protagonist's contentment with their current state of life. This refrain serves as a mantra for those who find happiness in their own company and the liberty to live life on their own terms.

The song also addresses societal pressures and familial expectations regarding marriage. The protagonist humorously dismisses his mother’s and father’s concerns about his single status and lack of responsibility. Lines like “Sai pra lá mamãe, vai jogar praga pra lá” (Go away mom, stop cursing me) and “Eu já tomei cerveja, eu não sou de misturar” (I’ve already had beer, I don’t mix) highlight a carefree attitude and a preference for enjoying life without the constraints of traditional commitments. This defiance against societal norms is a common theme in many contemporary songs, reflecting a broader cultural shift towards valuing personal happiness over conforming to expectations.

Furthermore, the song contrasts the protagonist’s life with that of his married siblings, stating, “Minhas irmã tudo casada, eu não to nem ligando” (All my sisters are married, I don’t care). This line underscores a preference for solitude over the potential complications and disturbances that can come with relationships. The song’s upbeat tempo and catchy chorus make it an anthem for those who cherish their independence and choose to live life on their own terms, free from societal pressures and expectations.
