Eu Odeio Dia 12

Gloria Groove's song "Eu Odeio Dia 12" is a poignant expression of the pain and loneliness that can accompany Valentine's Day for those who are single or heartbroken. The lyrics vividly describe the overwhelming presence of love and romance in public spaces, with crowded shopping malls, packed restaurants, and red hearts everywhere. This saturation of romantic imagery serves as a stark contrast to the singer's own feelings of isolation and longing, making the day particularly torturous for anyone without a partner.

The chorus reveals the depth of the singer's sorrow, as they confess to hating the 12th of the month—presumably Valentine's Day—because it serves as a painful reminder of a lost love. The repetition of the phrase "Eu odeio o dia 12" (I hate the 12th) underscores the intensity of their emotions. The singer's bed, meant for two, remains empty, symbolizing the void left by their absent partner. The use of the word "dose" (a play on the word for 'dose' and 'tough' in Portuguese) highlights how each 12th of the month feels like a difficult pill to swallow, exacerbated by the relentless presence of nostalgia and longing.

The song also touches on the futility of celebrating Valentine's Day alone. The rhetorical questions "Vou comemorar o que?" (What am I going to celebrate?) and "Compro presente pra quem?" (Who am I buying a gift for?) emphasize the singer's sense of purposelessness without their loved one. Gloria Groove's powerful delivery and emotive lyrics capture the universal experience of heartache, making "Eu Odeio Dia 12" a relatable anthem for anyone who has ever felt the sting of loneliness on a day dedicated to love.
