Temperamental

In 'Temperamental,' Grupo Doce Encontro delves into the tumultuous nature of a relationship that is as unpredictable as it is passionate. The song opens with a somewhat ironic celebration of the couple's one-year anniversary, highlighting the cyclical pattern of breaking up and making up. This on-again, off-again dynamic is likened to the behavior of adolescents who thrive on conflict and drama. The narrator adopts a resigned attitude, observing the situation and leaving the outcome to fate, encapsulated in the phrase 'seja o que Deus quiser' (whatever God wills).

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the emotional highs and lows that define this relationship. The couple spends Christmas in tears, only to kiss and make up by New Year's Eve. Their behavior during Carnival further underscores their volatility, with two days of fighting followed by two days of posting lovey-dovey photos. This erratic behavior is summed up in the line 'A gente é mega temperamental' (We are mega temperamental), which serves as the song's central theme.

The song also touches on the complexities of modern relationships, where social media plays a significant role. The couple's public displays of affection and subsequent breakups turn them into a 'piada pronta' (ready-made joke), highlighting the performative aspect of their love life. The lyrics suggest a future that is 'indefinido' (undefined), reflecting the uncertainty and instability that characterize their relationship. Through its candid portrayal of a love that is both passionate and problematic, 'Temperamental' resonates with anyone who has experienced the emotional rollercoaster of a tumultuous relationship.
