Como Dói

Anselmo Ralph's song 'Como Dói' delves deep into the emotional turmoil and heartbreak caused by infidelity.

The raw emotions are palpable as she hurls insults and expresses her profound sense of betrayal and disgust. The repeated phrase 'todos nomes feios do dicionário' (all the ugly names in the dictionary) underscores the depth of her anger and pain.

The chorus of the song is a powerful expression of her desire for retribution. She wishes for him to experience the same heartbreak and betrayal that she feels, hoping that one day someone will break his heart. This sentiment is encapsulated in the repeated line 'pra saberes como dói' (so you know how it hurts). The repetition emphasizes the intensity of her emotions and the depth of her hurt. The song captures the universal theme of wanting an unfaithful partner to understand the pain they've caused.
