Voce Abusou
Jorge Aragão Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Você abusou
Tirou partido de mim, abusou
Tirou partido de mim, abusou
Mas não faz mal
É tão normal ter desamor
É tão cafona sofrer dor
Que eu já nem sei
Se é meninice ou cafonice o meu amor
Se o quadradismo dos meus versos
Vai de encontro aos intelectos
Que não usam o coração como expressão

Você abusou...

Que me perdoem, se eu insisto neste tema
Mas não sei fazer poema
Ou canção que fale de outra coisa que
Não seja o amor
Se o quadradismo dos meus versos
Vai de encontro aos intelectos
Que não usam o coração como expressão





Você abusou...

Overall Meaning

The song "Você Abusou" by Jorge Aragão talks about a lover who took advantage of the singer's love, and while they recognize that it's normal to experience heartbreak, they struggle to understand if their heartache is "childish" or "tacky." The lyrics suggest that the singer is a poet who finds it difficult to write about anything besides love, even when they fear that their poetry might seem simplistic to intellectual audiences who don't value the emotional expression found in their work.


The repetition of the phrase "Você abusou" throughout the song emphasizes the feeling of being used and taken advantage of in a relationship. The words "abusou" and "partido" both have negative connotations that reflect the betrayal and hurt the singer feels. The line "É tão cafona sofrer dor" brings up the idea that it's cliché to suffer from heartbreak, which can make it feel embarrassing to talk about one's emotions. The song ends with an apology of sorts, as the singer acknowledges that they don't know how to write about anything besides love, and that their poems may not be intellectual, but they come from the heart.
