Embriagado

In 'Embriagado,' Eder & André paint a vivid picture of a man drowning his sorrows in alcohol, seeking solace in the familiar surroundings of a bar. The song's title, which translates to 'Drunk,' sets the tone for a narrative steeped in melancholy and longing. The protagonist finds himself in a repetitive cycle of drinking and reminiscing, unable to escape the grip of his emotions. The bar, with its dim lighting and melancholic music, becomes a sanctuary where he can momentarily forget his heartache.

The lyrics delve deep into the protagonist's emotional turmoil. He is seated at the bar, listening to sorrowful tunes that mirror his inner pain. The line 'Ouvindo uma moda de chorar' (listening to a crying song) emphasizes how the music amplifies his feelings of loss and longing. The street outside, mentioned as his only companion, symbolizes the emptiness and isolation he feels in the absence of his loved one. His heart, described as being 'afogando' (drowning), is overwhelmed by the weight of unrequited love and the memories of a relationship that once was.

The chorus captures the essence of his despair. He drinks and cries, not just for the sake of it, but because of the deep love he still harbors. The repetition of 'Hoje vou beber, hoje vou chorar' (Today I will drink, today I will cry) underscores his inability to move on. The request to the bartender to play a sad song further highlights his desire to wallow in his sorrow, finding a strange comfort in the shared experience of heartache. Through 'Embriagado,' Eder & André eloquently express the universal pain of lost love and the futile attempts to numb it with temporary distractions.
