Em Plena Lua de Mel

Reginaldo Rossi's song "Em Plena Lua de Mel" delves into the complexities of love, infidelity, and societal judgment. The lyrics tell the story of a woman who, despite being in a relationship, seeks affection from another man whenever her boyfriend is away. This behavior has not gone unnoticed, as the community is abuzz with gossip about her actions, which are causing her reputation to soar, albeit not in a positive light.

The song's narrator addresses the woman directly, pleading with her to save her love for one man and expressing the shame he feels in relaying the rumors about her. The lyrics suggest that her heart is fickle, likening it to an airplane that flies from one place to another, never settling. The metaphor of her love tasting like gall (a bitter substance) underscores the pain and betrayal felt by those she deceives. The climax of the song reveals the ultimate act of infidelity: she is predicted to betray her husband during their honeymoon, a time traditionally associated with love and commitment.
