Por Que
Sorriso Maroto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
E nessa hora não sei fazer nada
Se te aceito eu complico toda minha vida
Por que tinha que ser assim, justo comigo?
Seu coração virou o meu destino
O meu destino é me perder
Será que tem saída?
Porque tudo passa na vida e pude aprender
É forte de enfraquecer
Se com ela eu desejo você
Por que?
Por que? Me deixou e mal disse o por que
Fiz meu porto seguro em você
Me envolvi com alguém só pra te esquecer
Por que? Se eu já não quero mais te querer
Nada meu quer me obedecer
E agora me dê opção de escolher
Ou lutar pra te esquecer, ou voltar pra um louco amor
Por que?
The lyrics of Sorriso Maroto's song "Por Que" speak about the struggles of love and the confusion that comes with it. The singer questions why love always seems to come at the wrong time and why it has to be so complicated. He admits that accepting his love interest would only complicate his life and wonders why he has to feel this way, especially since his heart has become intertwined with hers. He wonders if there is a way out of this situation, but he knows that the only thing that does not pass in life is the love he feels for her.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Por que?" (which translates to "why?" in English) and highlights the singer's confusion and frustration. He questions why his love interest left him without giving a proper explanation and made him invest so much in their relationship. He admits to using someone else as a distraction to forget about her but realizes that he can no longer control his feelings. He is left with the difficult task of deciding whether to fight for the love he once had or to try and forget it altogether.
"Por Que" deals with the complex emotions surrounding relationships and the difficulties that come with navigating love. The lyrics showcase the singer's vulnerability and honesty, making it a relatable song for anyone who has experienced similar struggles.

Por que só aparece assim na hora errada?
Why do you only show up at the wrong time?
E nessa hora não sei fazer nada
And at that time, I don't know what to do
Se te aceito eu complico toda minha vida
If I accept you, I complicate my entire life
Por que tinha que ser assim, justo comigo?
Why did it have to be like this, just with me?
Seu coração virou o meu destino
Your heart became my destiny
O meu destino é me perder
My destiny is to get lost
Será que tem saída?
Is there a way out?
Porque tudo passa na vida e pude aprender
Because everything in life passes and I could learn
Só não passa o amor que eu sinto por você
The only thing that doesn't pass is the love I feel for you
É forte de enfraquecer
It's strong enough to weaken me
Se com ela eu desejo você
If I desire you with her
Por que? Me deixou e mal disse o por que
Why did you leave me and barely said why?
Fiz meu porto seguro em você
I made my safe haven in you
Me envolvi com alguém só pra te esquecer
I got involved with someone just to forget you
Por que? Se eu já não quero mais te querer
Why? If I no longer want to want you
Nada meu quer me obedecer
Nothing I want obeys me
E agora me dê opção de escolher
And now give me the option to choose
Ou lutar pra te esquecer, ou voltar pra um louco amor
Either fight to forget you, or go back to a crazy love
Por que?
Why?
