Flor Que Se Cheira

Guilherme e Benuto's song "Flor Que Se Cheira" delves into the complexities of a relationship between two individuals who are not typically seen as virtuous or trustworthy. The phrase "nenhum dos dois é flor que se cheira" translates to "neither of us is a flower to be smelled," a Brazilian idiom suggesting that both parties have questionable reputations. The song explores the unexpected and somewhat ironic development of genuine feelings between two people who initially approached their relationship with a casual, perhaps even cynical, attitude.

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a night that starts with a kiss and ends with the two characters waking up together, reflecting on their actions. The line "o peixe morre pela própria boca" (the fish dies by its own mouth) serves as a metaphor for how their own words and actions have led them to this point. Despite their initial intentions, they find themselves in a situation where what was meant to be a fleeting encounter has turned into something more serious.

The song raises questions about how to navigate a relationship when both parties have a history of being unreliable or deceitful. It touches on themes of vulnerability, change, and the unpredictability of love. The repeated question, "Como é que faz?" (What do we do?), underscores the uncertainty and confusion that come with realizing that a seemingly trivial connection has evolved into something meaningful. Ultimately, the song suggests that even the most unlikely individuals can find themselves in genuine, transformative relationships, challenging the notion that people cannot change or grow.
