Mentirosa

The song 'Mentirosa' by Corpo e Alma delves deep into the emotional turmoil caused by deceit and betrayal in a romantic relationship. The title itself, which translates to 'Liar' in English, sets the tone for the narrative. The lyrics express the anguish and disillusionment of someone who has been repeatedly lied to by their partner. The repetition of the word 'mentirosa' emphasizes the recurring nature of the deceit and the profound impact it has had on the singer's heart and trust.

In the verses, the singer recounts the false promises and declarations of love that were made to them. Phrases like 'Mentia quando me dizias que eu era tudo para ti' (You lied when you said I was everything to you) and 'Mentia que me querias e jurava-me seu grande amor' (You lied that you loved me and swore your great love) highlight the depth of the betrayal. These lines paint a picture of a relationship built on falsehoods, where the singer was led to believe in a love that was never genuine.

The chorus, with its resolute declaration of 'Não voltes mais nunca mais' (Don't come back, never again), signifies a turning point. The singer decides to remove the deceitful partner from their heart and move on from the 'falso amor' (false love). This decision marks a moment of empowerment and self-preservation, as the singer chooses to protect themselves from further emotional harm. The song captures the universal experience of heartbreak and the painful process of letting go of someone who has caused deep emotional wounds.
