Quebra-galho
Fred & Gustavo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pra que sofrer se me queimei no fogo e nessa brasa quente só me machuquei.
Fala a verdade, usou e abusou depois me jogou fora, me beija, me abraça e me manda embora, pra ser seu quebra galho melhor te deixar pra lá.
Quer saber!? Não vou te esperar, não vou ficar sofrendo, se você já não quer, tem gente querendo, por este amor ingrato não vou mais chorar.
Tomei juízo e o que eu preciso, é de outro amor pra me curar.
ME DÁ MEL, ME DÁ BEIJO, ME FAZ TUDO QUE DESEJO, MAS ME ENGANA E ME FAZ CHORAR.
ME FAZ DE QUEBRA GALHO E TIRA O ME SOSSEGO, JÁ NÃO VAI SER DO SEU JEITO, VOU DAR AMOR PRA QUEM ME QUEIRA AMAR.
Aaaaaa... vou dar amor pra quem me queira amar.
Aaaaaa... vou dar amor pra quem me queira amar.
In "Quebra-Galho," Fred & Gustavo express their frustration with a failed relationship and vow to move on. The lyrics reflect the singer's realization that they were the only ones who truly loved their partner, questioning why they should cry or suffer for a love that was not reciprocated. The line "Pra que chorar por esse amor se na verdade todo tempo só fui eu que te amei" translates to "Why cry for this love when in reality it was only me who loved you all along."
The lyrics also depict the singer feeling used and discarded by their partner, symbolized by the metaphor of getting burned in the fire and hurt by the hot embers. They confront their partner's behavior, stating that they were manipulated, used, kissed, embraced, and then pushed away, ultimately realizing that it is better to leave the relationship behind as merely a convenience or stopgap - a "quebra-galho."
The chorus reveals the singer's decision not to wait for their partner and not to continue suffering. They acknowledge that if their partner no longer wants them, there are other people who are interested in being with them. The lyrics express a sense of self-worth and declare that the singer will not shed tears anymore for this ungrateful love. They have gained wisdom from the experience and now understand that what they truly need is another love to heal and move on.
In the second verse, the lyrics continue to express the singer's feelings of betrayal and emotional manipulation. They describe their desire for sweetness and affection, for someone who fulfills their desires, but condemn their partner for deceiving them and making them cry. The singer no longer wants to be used as a "quebra-galho," someone to lean on temporarily or fill a void in their partner's life. They declare that things will no longer be as their partner wants them to be and that they will now give their love to someone who truly wants to love them back.
In the final two lines, the repeated phrase "Aaaaaa... vou dar amor pra quem me queira amar" emphasizes the singer's determination to give their love to someone who genuinely wants to love them. It powerfully underscores their decision to move forward and find happiness with someone new, leaving behind the pain and manipulation of the past relationship.
