Aí Eu Choro

Manhoso's song 'Aí Eu Choro' is a playful and humorous take on desire and frustration. The lyrics revolve around the protagonist's plea for something he deeply wants, which is humorously revealed to be a 'bronzeador' (sunscreen) by the end of the song. The repeated phrase 'Aaa au, aí eu choro' (which translates to 'Aaa au, then I cry') adds a comedic touch, emphasizing the exaggerated emotional response to not getting what he wants immediately.

The song uses a mix of direct and indirect language to create a sense of anticipation and curiosity. Initially, the lyrics suggest a more intimate or personal request, with lines like 'Me dá o seu negócio' (Give me your thing) and 'Sei que dá pra qualquer um' (I know you give it to anyone). This ambiguity keeps the listener engaged, wondering what the protagonist is asking for. The twist comes when it's revealed that the 'negócio' (thing) is actually a 'bronzeador,' a mundane and humorous item, which subverts the listener's expectations.

Culturally, the song taps into the Brazilian beach culture, where sunscreen is a common and necessary item. The playful tone and the use of colloquial language make the song relatable and entertaining. Manhoso's style often includes humor and a light-hearted approach to everyday situations, and 'Aí Eu Choro' is a perfect example of this. The song's catchy chorus and humorous twist make it a memorable and enjoyable piece that resonates with listeners who appreciate a good laugh and a clever play on words.
