Problema

In 'Problema,' Jorge & Mateus delve into the complexities of love and the internal conflict that often accompanies it. The song's protagonist grapples with the desire to move on from a relationship that seems to bring more pain than joy. The opening lines express a longing to disappear and never respond to their partner again, to leave the shared history behind and assert that the loss is on the other side. This sentiment is a common reaction to heartbreak, where one wishes to erase the memories and emotional ties that bind them to their past lover.

However, the chorus reveals the true 'problem'—the protagonist's enduring love for their partner. Despite the pain and the logical reasons to walk away, the heart's attachment remains strong. The lyrics, 'Mas o problema é que eu te amo' (But the problem is that I love you), highlight the internal struggle between the mind's rational decision to leave and the heart's emotional need to stay. This dichotomy is further emphasized by the admission that even a single day without the partner leads to complaints and a search for excuses to reunite.

The song also touches on the theme of patience and the willingness to wait for happiness. The protagonist acknowledges that their happiness is intrinsically linked to being with their partner, and they are willing to wait as long as necessary to achieve that joy. This sentiment underscores the depth of their love and the sacrifices they are willing to make. 'Problema' beautifully captures the bittersweet nature of love, where the heart's desires often conflict with the mind's logic, leading to a poignant and relatable narrative.
