Ruim de Sócio

Conrado e Aleksandro's song "Ruim de Sócio" is a humorous and satirical take on infidelity and financial struggles within a relationship. The lyrics tell the story of a man who comes home to find his wife with another man. Instead of reacting with anger or violence, he takes a more unconventional approach by inviting the man to sit down for a conversation over wine and snacks. This sets the tone for the song's comedic and ironic narrative.

The protagonist uses business metaphors to describe the situation, referring to his relationship as a failing company. He accuses the other man of 'eating the capital' he invested, implying that the man is benefiting from his hard work without contributing to the household expenses. The protagonist then presents the household bills, including water, electricity, and installment payments from a popular Brazilian retail chain, Casas Bahia. He demands that the man pay half of the total amount, or else the 'partnership' will end. This clever use of business jargon to describe personal betrayal adds a layer of humor and irony to the song.

The chorus reinforces the comedic aspect by repeating the consequences of having a 'partner' who consumes the stock and ruins the business without paying. This metaphorical language highlights the absurdity of the situation and the protagonist's frustration. Conrado e Aleksandro's musical style, which blends traditional Brazilian country music with modern influences, complements the song's playful and lighthearted tone. The song ultimately serves as a humorous commentary on the complexities of relationships and the financial burdens that often accompany them.
