Bete Balanço

Frejat's song 'Bete Balanço' is a poignant exploration of ambition, dreams, and the inherent risks that come with pursuing one's desires. The lyrics open with an encouragement to follow one's star, a metaphor for chasing dreams and aspirations. This star is described as a 'brinquedo de star,' or a toy of being a star, suggesting that the pursuit of fame and success can sometimes feel like a game or an illusion. The protagonist is fantasizing in secret about the point they want to reach, indicating a personal and perhaps private journey towards their goals.

The song takes a darker turn as it acknowledges the uncertainty of the future. Frejat sings about seeing both money and pain in the protagonist's future, highlighting the dual nature of success. The 'paradise perigoso,' or dangerous paradise, represents the allure and peril of achieving one's dreams. This paradise is shown by the palm of the protagonist's hand, suggesting that their fate is in their own hands, but it comes with significant risks.

The chorus, 'Quem vem com tudo não cansa, Bete balanço meu amor,' translates to 'Those who come with everything don't get tired, Bete Balanço my love.' This line emphasizes the relentless pursuit of dreams and the need for resilience. The song also touches on the theme of social isolation, with references to sad faces pretending the protagonist doesn't exist. This could symbolize the loneliness and alienation that often accompany the pursuit of personal ambitions. The repeated plea to be informed when it's time to leave or when the protagonist is going away underscores the transient nature of success and the constant movement required to chase dreams.
