Drowning Sorrows: The Heartache in 'Vou Beber de Novo'

The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man who has lost his love and, with it, his former self. Before the breakup, he lived a life of peace and joy, free from the vices of smoking and drinking. However, the loss has driven him to seek solace in alcohol and cigarettes, highlighting the drastic change in his lifestyle and emotional state.
The recurring theme of drinking to forget is central to the song.

This cyclical pattern of drinking and crying 'feito bobo' (like a fool) underscores the futility and temporary relief that such coping mechanisms provide.
