“Porquê” is Murta’s heartfelt cry for answers when a relationship collapses without warning. Over a laid-back groove, the singer paints two vivid worlds: one brimming with the excitement of new possibilities, and another crumbling under the weight of unanswered questions. Images like “água mole em pedra dura” (water steadily carving stone) suggest that even the toughest façades eventually give way, mirroring how persistent doubt can erode love. The repeated plea — “Perguntei-te porquê!” — captures that piercing moment when you look someone in the eyes and realize their silence speaks louder than any excuse.
Behind the catchy hook lies a lesson about honesty. Murta reminds us that keeping quiet can feel like betrayal, because “quem cala consente” — whoever stays silent must be hiding something. As the song moves from confusion to resignation, the narrator decides self-respect is worth more than elusive explanations. In the end, “Porquê” turns a simple question into an anthem for anyone who has ever been left without closure, urging listeners to embrace the unknown, heal the wound, and dance their way forward.
