Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ai meu amor
Ai ai ai me faz sofrer
Ai quanta paixão
Siempre me quiere bater.
Ai meu Deus o que eu vou fazer
Todo dia toda hora
Ela vem me castigar
Não consigo me esconder
Ela gosta de bater
Todo dia toda hora
Eu não quero mais sofrer
Quando chega tarde
Ela vem me bater
Quando bebe cerveza
Só sabe brigar
Quando olha as meninas
Ela quer me bater
Quando bebe tequila
Ela vem me dá tapa, tapinha e mais
The lyrics to Axé Bahia's song "Sempre Quer Me Bater" tell the story of an abusive relationship. The singer seems to be trapped in a cycle of violence and despair, unable to escape the constant abuse that they suffer at the hands of their partner. The opening line, "Vai sair outra vez?" ("Are you going out again?"), suggests that the partner's behavior is unpredictable and possibly dangerous. The singer goes on to describe the physical and emotional pain that they experience, as their partner hits them and humiliates them in public. The refrain, "Siempre me quiere bater" ("She always wants to beat me"), reinforces the idea that this is an ongoing problem that the singer is powerless to stop.
Despite the bleak subject matter, there are moments of defiance and courage in the lyrics. When the singer asks, "Ai meu Deus o que eu vou fazer?" ("Oh my God, what am I going to do?"), they are acknowledging that they are in a difficult situation, but they are also refusing to give up hope. The line "Eu não quero mais sofrer" ("I don't want to suffer anymore") shows that the singer is determined to find a way out of their abusive relationship. There is a sense that they are counting down the days until they can leave this toxic situation behind.
Overall, Axé Bahia's "Sempre Quer Me Bater" is a powerful and moving song about domestic violence. The lyrics carefully capture the emotions and experiences of someone who is trapped in an abusive relationship, and the music adds to the intensity of the message.
