Casado Também Namora

Quim Barreiros, a well-known Portuguese artist famous for his humorous and often provocative songs, delivers a playful yet controversial narrative in 'Casado Também Namora.' The song's lyrics revolve around the theme of infidelity, portraying a married man who continues to engage in romantic escapades outside his marriage. Barreiros uses a light-hearted and cheeky tone to explore the idea that marriage does not diminish a man's desire or ability to seek out other romantic or sexual experiences.

The repeated refrain, 'Casado não é capado' (A married man is not castrated), emphasizes the notion that marriage does not strip a man of his virility or desires. The lyrics suggest that married men, like single men, are capable of pursuing extramarital relationships, often with more experience and cunning. This portrayal challenges traditional views of marital fidelity and highlights a more mischievous and rebellious side of married life.

Barreiros' song also touches on the duality of a married man's life. While he presents himself as a 'bom chefe de família' (good head of the family) at home, he indulges in flirtations and affairs when away from his wife. This duality is captured in the lines about going to the discotheque alone, ostensibly to drink but always ready to 'galar uma boneca' (flirt with a girl). The song's playful and irreverent tone, combined with its catchy melody, makes it a memorable and thought-provoking piece that invites listeners to reflect on the complexities of marital relationships and the nature of fidelity.
