Não Beba Mais Não
Duo Ciriema
The Futility of Escaping Love Through Alcohol
In the song "Não Beba Mais Não" by Duo Ciriema, the lyrics delve into the emotional turmoil of a relationship strained by lies and jealousy. The song's protagonist addresses their partner, who is attempting to drown their sorrows and forget the relationship through alcohol. The opening lines, "Não é bebendo / Que você vai esquecer de mim," set the tone by asserting that drinking will not erase the memories or the love they shared. This sentiment is reinforced throughout the song, emphasizing that physical distance or escapism cannot sever the emotional bonds between them.
The lyrics also highlight the destructive nature of lies and jealousy, which have caused significant pain and heartbreak. The lines, "Foi a mentira e o ciúme / Que sem compaixão / Quiseram ferir / E magoar seu coração," suggest that these negative emotions have deeply wounded the partner's heart. Despite this, the protagonist offers a solution rooted in love and understanding, urging their partner to stay and face their issues together rather than resorting to alcohol as a means of coping.
The song's chorus, "Amar não é crime / Beber não redime / A sua paixão," poignantly captures the essence of the message: love is not a crime, and drinking will not redeem or alleviate the pain of passion. The protagonist's plea, "Ouça o que eu lhe digo / Fique aqui comigo / E não beba mais não," is a heartfelt appeal for reconciliation and emotional healing. The imagery of feeling the protagonist's lips in every drink, "Sentirá o meus lábios beijando os teus / Em todas as taças que você beber," further underscores the inescapable nature of their love, no matter how much the partner tries to forget.
