Do Copo Eu Vim (feat. Marília Mendonça)
Diego e Victor Hugo
From the Glass I Came: A Journey Back to Singlehood
The song "Do Copo Eu Vim (feat. Marília Mendonça)" by Diego e Victor Hugo, featuring Marília Mendonça, delves into the emotional aftermath of a failed relationship. The lyrics explore the themes of regret, self-reflection, and the return to a carefree, single lifestyle. The opening lines set the tone by contrasting the concepts of 'climate' and 'time,' suggesting that while the relationship lacked a stable foundation ('climate'), it also wasted precious moments ('time') that could have been better spent elsewhere.
The protagonist questions their decision to abandon their previous lifestyle of partying and drinking for someone who ultimately did not reciprocate their feelings. This sense of regret is palpable as they lament, "Onde é que eu tava com a cabeça quando abandonei as garrafas por você, que por mim não se importa?" This rhetorical question highlights the internal conflict and the realization that their sacrifice was in vain. The recurring line, "É que do copo eu vim, pro copo voltarei," serves as a metaphor for returning to their old habits and the comfort of a familiar, albeit less meaningful, lifestyle.
The chorus reinforces the idea of reclaiming one's independence and finding solace in the single life. The phrase "Em terra de balada quem tá solteiro é rei" translates to "In the land of parties, the single person is king," emphasizing the newfound freedom and control over one's life. The song captures the essence of moving on from a relationship that didn't work out and embracing the joys of singlehood, even if it means returning to old habits. The collaboration with Marília Mendonça, known for her emotive and relatable lyrics, adds depth to the song, making it resonate with anyone who has experienced the pain of unrequited love and the subsequent journey of self-discovery.
