Pronto Pra Guerra

“Pronto Pra Guerra” by Sorriso Maroto is a passionate declaration of love's resilience against external forces. The song opens with a catchy, repetitive chant, setting a rhythmic and determined tone. The lyrics delve into the struggles faced by a couple whose love is under siege by those who wish to see them apart. The phrase “fazem de tudo pra separar” (they do everything to separate us) highlights the relentless efforts of outsiders to disrupt their relationship, but the couple remains steadfast, driven by a love that transcends mere passion.

The song contrasts love with fleeting emotions, likening it to a summer rain that some might think will pass with time. However, the singer asserts that their bond is not a temporary infatuation but a deep, enduring love. This is emphasized in the line “Mais é Amor, é não é Paixão” (But it’s love, not passion), underscoring the depth and permanence of their feelings. The metaphor of love as a soldier ready for battle further illustrates their readiness to defend their relationship against any adversities.

The chorus reinforces this theme of resilience, with the singer proclaiming, “O Amor é o Soldado mais forte, Eu to pronto pra guerra” (Love is the strongest soldier, I’m ready for war). This powerful imagery conveys a sense of preparedness and determination to protect their love from envious and malicious individuals. The repeated calls for these negative influences to “ve se me erra” (leave me alone) reflect a defiant stance against those who wish them harm. Ultimately, “Pronto Pra Guerra” is a testament to the strength and endurance of true love, willing to face any challenge head-on.
