Paixão de Bar
Oswaldo Montenegro Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Quando a turma lá do bar fala da gente
Erguem brindes, confusão
Ao casal louco de amor incandescente
Aos profetas da paixão
Alguns gritam que as histórias que vivemos
Não têm nexo, tradução
Que as histórias que acontecem nas novelas
Já são mera imitação
Alguns contam entre gins e gargalhadas
Que és vara de condão
Que transforma a minha valsa ultrapassada
Na mais pura afinação
Exageram, fazem rimas, comemoram
E afirmam de antemão:
Parceria destas pra vida inteira
É pros sonhos, proteção




Mal sabem eles que a gente nem se encontra
Mas no resto têm razão

Overall Meaning

The song "Paixão de Bar" by Oswaldo Montenegro talks about a couple who are the subject of discussion among the patrons of a bar. They are described as a "crazy couple of incandescent love" and referred to as "the prophets of passion." While some people find their love story unbelievable and nonsensical, others celebrate it, raising their glasses in honor of this extraordinary love.


The lyrics also suggest that the couple themselves may not see each other often. Despite this, they share an unbreakable bond that transcends physical presence. The song paints a picture of a love that is larger than life, one that inspires awe in those who witness it but is ultimately mysterious, even to those closest to it.


The song is a beautiful tribute to the idea of love and the power it has over us. It shows how love can be celebrated or ridiculed, depending on the perception of those around us. Additionally, it highlights the power of love to unite us and the idea that perhaps, love is not just about finding someone to be with, but about finding someone who understands us and our way of loving.
