Dois Fugitivos

The song 'Dois Fugitivos' by Simone Mendes tells the story of a clandestine love affair, where the protagonist becomes involved with someone who is already in a relationship. The lyrics express the initial innocence of the encounter, highlighting that there was no intention of betrayal. However, as the affair progresses, the protagonist realizes the complexity of the situation and the moral dilemma it presents.

The repeated lines 'Eu quero alguém que não tenha alguém / Não nasci pra ser segredo de ninguém' translate to 'I want someone who doesn’t have someone / I wasn’t born to be anyone’s secret,' which underscores the desire for a transparent and honest relationship. The protagonist is tired of the secrecy and the rushed, hidden moments of affection, symbolized by the act of kissing in the car without lowering the windows. The reference to 'amor num quarto de BR' (love in a BR room) could allude to a motel room along a Brazilian highway, often used for discreet encounters, further emphasizing the transient and furtive nature of their relationship.

Ultimately, the song conveys the emotional toll of being involved in an affair and the longing for a legitimate and open relationship. The protagonist decides to end the affair, expressing exhaustion from the role of being a secret and the desire to be with someone who is truly available. The song resonates with anyone who has experienced the pain of unrequited or forbidden love and the struggle for self-respect in the face of emotional attachment.
