C V V
Ludovic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que gesto admirável
Digno de aplausos
Perdoe a franqueza
Eu nunca vi alguém tão fraco!
Seja bem-vindo ao clube
Perdoe a franqueza
Eu nunca vi alguém tão fraco!
Entre você e ela há um precipício
Amor próprio, agora, seria suicídio
Eu sirvo como exemplo e só pra isso eu sirvo
Nós ainda vamos rir de tudo isso
O espaço do baixo e vil!
Fomos todos usados desde o início
Agora honre as calças, arrote princípios
Veja o meu exemplo, nem pra isso eu sirvo
Nós ainda vamos rir de tudo isso
Nós ainda vamos rir de tudo isso
The lyrics in Ludovic's song C V V depict a situation where the singer is addressing someone who has made a questionable decision in their love life. The singer starts off by saying, "O espaço do baixo e vil!" which translates to "The space below is vile!" This might be referring to the decision to settle for someone who is below their standards or values. The singer goes on to commend the person for their admirable gesture (presumably to pursue a relationship with the other person), but also criticizes them for their weakness. They welcome the person to a club where nothing is intolerable, but also say that they have never seen someone as weak as them.
The verse, "Entre você e ela há um precipício, amor próprio, agora, seria suicídio," translates to "Between you and her there is a precipice, self-love would now be suicide." This line seems to suggest that the relationship is detrimental to the person's sense of self and that they are sacrificing their own well-being for the sake of their partner. The singer serves as an example of this and says that they are only good for that purpose. The song ends with the repeated phrase, "Nós ainda vamos rir de tudo isso," which means "We will still laugh at all of this." This might be seen as a hopeful message that even though the situation is dire now, things will get better.
