Dois Tristes drops us right into a night out that should feel fun but quickly turns sour. The singer notices other couples laughing, sipping drinks, and stealing passionate kisses, while she and her partner are stuck in an endless loop of sulking faces and arguments. Each slammed door and silent glare makes her wonder if she chose the wrong person, and the chorus hammers home that feeling: “We’re two sad people who will never be happy.”
Beneath the catchy melody lies a relatable confession about realizing a relationship is draining your joy instead of adding to it. The song is a playful yet honest reminder that love should lift you up, not leave you comparing yourself to every smiling couple in the room. By the final lines, the singer has reached her limit, ready to stop watching “everyone happy except me” and reclaim her own happiness.
