Fiz Tudo Errado

Leonardo's song "Fiz Tudo Errado" tells the story of a man who has made significant sacrifices and changes in his life for the sake of a love that ultimately proves to be unworthy. The protagonist leaves his rural life, symbolized by the 'sertão' (a term for the Brazilian hinterlands), to pursue a more luxurious lifestyle in the city, all to please his beloved. He trades the natural beauty of waterfalls for the artificial allure of surf, sand, and sea, indicating a shift from a simple, authentic life to one filled with superficial pleasures.

The lyrics detail the lengths to which the man goes to satisfy his partner, including buying a luxury apartment with a heated pool and hiring a butler and a lady-in-waiting. Despite these efforts, the relationship remains unfulfilling, and the woman does not reciprocate his feelings. The term 'amor bandido' (bandit love) suggests a love that is treacherous and deceitful, leading the protagonist to feel lost and regretful.

In the end, the man decides to return to his roots in Goiás, a state in Brazil known for its cattle ranching. He acknowledges his mistakes and expresses a desire to leave behind the life of a passionate lover that has brought him nothing but heartache. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes his determination to move on and find solace in the familiar and genuine aspects of his former life. The song captures the emotional turmoil of realizing that material wealth and grand gestures cannot buy true love and happiness.
