Pra Você Acreditar/Fulminante

Grupo Menos É Mais, a Brazilian pagode band, brings a heartfelt exploration of love, trust, and vulnerability in their song "Pra Você Acreditar/Fulminante." The lyrics delve into the complexities of a romantic relationship where trust is questioned, and the emotional turmoil that ensues. The song begins with the narrator noticing their partner's sleepless night, driven by unfounded jealousy. This sets the stage for a plea for trust, as the narrator reassures their partner of their unwavering love and fidelity. The repeated question, "O que eu tenho que provar pra você acreditar?" (What do I have to prove for you to believe?), underscores the desperation and frustration of trying to convince someone of their genuine feelings.

The song transitions into a reflection on the narrator's past experiences with love, marked by both joy and pain. The lines "Eu amei, nem sempre se calcula o risco / Mesmo assim, eu amei" (I loved, you can't always calculate the risk / Even so, I loved) highlight the inherent risks of opening one's heart. Despite the heartbreak, the narrator acknowledges the transformative power of love, even when it leads to vulnerability and hurt. This duality of love as both a source of immense joy and potential pain is a central theme in the song.

In the latter part of the song, the narrative shifts to a more hopeful tone. The arrival of a new love interest, who offers protection and emotional connection, is described as a "tiro fulminante no meu coração" (a deadly shot to my heart). This metaphor captures the sudden and overwhelming impact of love, which, despite its risks, is something the narrator is willing to embrace. The closing lines, "O amor quando cerca não dá pra correr / Pode até ferir, mas eu quero viver" (When love surrounds you, there's no running away / It may hurt, but I want to live), encapsulate the song's message: love is worth the risk, and the desire to experience it fully outweighs the fear of potential pain.
