Assalto
Fernanda Porto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Não me pegue tão assim
Calma lá, mais devagar,
Não me pegue tão assim
Não me agarre pelas costas
Não me venha com propostas
Não me assalte
Paixão agora é o fim
Não ouse me conquistar
Vai ver se eu tô noutro bar
Sai debaixo que é fria
Greta Gardo já dizia,
I want to be alone
Tire o dedo desse blues
Esqueça que é meia-luz
O sinal tá fechado
Cuidado, é contra-mão
Não me assalte
I want you
The lyrics of Fernanda Porto's song Assalto speak of a woman who is being pursued and propositioned by a man. She asks him to slow down and not take her so forcefully, to not grab her from behind and make any proposals. She tells him not to steal this love from her and that passion now is the end. She warns him not to try to conquer her as she may be somewhere else. She quotes Greta Gardo's famous line "I want to be alone". She advises the man to take his hands off of the blues and forget the dim lights. She tells him to be careful as the signal is closed and warns him not to rob her.
The song is a feminist anthem that expresses the woman's right to make her own choices and not be intimidated or coerced into anything against her will. It is a bold statement that empowers women and challenges the traditional gender roles and expectations imposed by society. The use of Greta Garbo's quote reinforces the message of independence, individuality, and self-determination.
