The Tender Heart of a Rough Cowboy

“Os Brutos Também Amam” by Matogrosso & Mathias, featuring João Carreiro e Capataz, delves into the emotional complexity of a seemingly tough and rugged individual who harbors deep feelings of love and vulnerability. The song's title, which translates to “The Rough Ones Also Love,” sets the stage for a narrative that challenges the stereotype of the stoic, unemotional cowboy. The lyrics reveal a heart that is desperate to feel the warmth and joy of love once more, despite being consumed by pride and a rough exterior.

The protagonist of the song struggles with his own unpredictable and stubborn nature, acknowledging that his tough demeanor leads him nowhere. The physical reactions he experiences when near his beloved—dry mouth, shortness of breath, and a racing heart—highlight the intensity of his emotions. The scent of his lover is enough to make his world come to a standstill, yet he is paralyzed by the fear of getting hurt. This internal conflict between desire and fear is a central theme in the song.

When embraced by his lover, the protagonist feels a whirlwind of emotions, becoming “crazy and hallucinated.” Despite his tough exterior, he is a passionate man who misses his partner deeply and spends his days longing to see her. The chorus emphasizes that even those who appear rough and unfeeling have the capacity to love deeply. The song beautifully captures the dichotomy of a tough exterior hiding a tender heart, making it a poignant exploration of love and vulnerability.
