Cruzando os Dedos

Maiara e Maraisa's song "Cruzando os Dedos" delves into the emotional turmoil of a one-sided relationship where one partner feels taken for granted. The lyrics express the pain and frustration of loving someone who doesn't reciprocate the same level of commitment. The protagonist acknowledges their suffering but continues to stay in the relationship out of love, albeit with a growing sense of weariness. This emotional conflict is poignantly captured in the lines, "Você acha que me tem a hora que cê quer / Aceito isso só porque eu te amo." The repetition of the phrase "Por enquanto ainda te amo" suggests that this love is conditional and may not last forever.

The chorus serves as a powerful warning to the indifferent partner. The protagonist contemplates the possibility of finding someone new who will treat them better, urging their current partner to "cruzando os dedos" (cross their fingers) that this doesn't happen. This metaphor of crossing fingers symbolizes a desperate hope that things won't change, even though the protagonist is already considering the courage it would take to leave. The lines "Um dia eu troco esse medo de te perder / Pela coragem de arriscar" highlight the internal struggle between fear of loss and the desire for self-respect and happiness.

Maiara e Maraisa, known for their emotive sertanejo music, often explore themes of love, heartbreak, and empowerment.

The song resonates with anyone who has ever felt undervalued in a relationship, offering a message of hope and the possibility of finding the strength to move on.
