I drown my sorrows Sitting on the floor
In the glass I see the turns that life can take
You know there are rules and where not to step
And you weren't even able to put yourself in my place
And when the ceiling falls, not even a kiss is capable
To save you from the end
I open the door but I can't get out of here
I want to feel
this love again But it still hurts so much
make me believe
I want to forget Make new plans
Saying I love you Makes me trust you again
If I could one day forgive And with just a kiss time recede
I live in the agony of those who love When I open the door I can't leave here
I want to feel
this love again But it still hurts so much
make me believe
I want to forget Make new plans
Saying I love you Makes me trust you again
It's your charm that calls me That's why I'm still here
Living in the agony of someone you love Is opening the door but not being able to get out of here
I want to feel
this love again But it still hurts so much
make me believe
I want to forget Make new plans
Saying I love you Makes me trust you again

agonia — agony

Agonia translates directly to "agony" in English. It's a strong and evocative word that immediately conveys intense suffering or distress.

In the context of the song, the artist sings about living in the "agonia de quem ama" (agony of one who loves). This phrase beautifully captures the pain and torment of a love that is difficult to escape, even when it causes suffering. It's a powerful way to express the complex emotions of a troubled relationship.

Calema's "Regras" drops us right into the middle of some serious heartbreak. The singer is drowning his sorrows, literally seeing "as voltas Que a vida pode dar" [the turns that life can take] in his drink. He's reeling from a betrayal, lamenting that the other person couldn't even "te colocar no meu lugar" [put yourself in my place]. It's a powerful feeling of being let down when you expected better.

Even though the relationship is crumbling, with the "teto cai" [ceiling falling], he's stuck. He opens the door but "não consigo sair daqui" [can't get out of here]. He desperately wants to feel that love again and trust them, even though it still hurts so much. It's a really relatable struggle of wanting to move on and forget, but being pulled back by the memory of love, especially when he admits, "É o teu encanto que me chama Por ele é que eu ainda estou aqui" [It's your charm that calls me, that's why I'm still here]. Talk about being caught between a rock and a hard place!
