Song Meaning of “Que Pescar Que Nada” by Bruno & Marrone
“Que Pescar Que Nada” by Bruno & Marrone speaks to the human loss experienced after the end of an important relationship. The lyrics are a conversation between the singer and a former lover who has gone away, leaving the singer heartbroken and struggling to carry on.
The title phrase “que pescar que nada” (literally “What to fish for if nothing”) provides a visual image of someone who feels unable to go back to the way things were before the split, or make an effort to try and mend the broken relationship. This feeling of hopelessness is reinforced in the phrase “Quem vai voltar quando tudo se acabar?”, which translates to “Who will return when it all is over?”. The singer’s loneliness is reflected in the image of an “empty night that’s raining”, drawing a sharp contrast between their inner emotional turmoil and the stillness of the empty night outside.
The chorus line “Vou bem, eu não vou mentir/Tudo que você queira saber” (loosely translated as “I’m ok, I won’t lie/Everything you want to know”) reflects the singer’s attempt to put on a brave face and pretend that the pain doesn’t exist, while in the back of their mind they still long for the person who has left.
