Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Você não vale nada
Nossa vida é uma piada
Não tem graça
Não tem graça
É sem graça
Mesmo assim dou gargalhadas
Só de pensar que é assimPra você e pra mim
(Sem graça...)
The lyrics to "Presto" by J.S.B are a commentary on a failed relationship. The opening lines, "Eu não presto, Você não vale nada" (I'm no good, you're worthless), suggest that both parties in the relationship are unhappy and don't see themselves or each other in a positive light. The following lines, "Nossa vida é uma piada, Não tem graça" (Our life is a joke, it's not funny), reinforces this idea that the relationship is a failure and is devoid of any joy or happiness.
Despite the bleak outlook, the lyricist notes that they still find humor in this unfortunate situation. The line, "É sem graça, Mesmo assim dou gargalhadas" (It's not funny, but I still laugh), illustrates this point. They find amusement in the irony that their relationship is so terrible, but they still cling to it.
In conclusion, "Presto" is a melancholy ballad that explores the themes of failed relationships, self-loathing, and desperation, all wrapped up in a veil of humor and cynicism.
