História Real

In 'História Real,' Mc Martinho narrates a poignant and tragic story that unfolds in the favelas, touching on themes of love, betrayal, and the devastating consequences of misinformation. The song begins by setting the stage in the periphery, where two young lovers, a 'novinha' (young girl) and a 'guerreiro' (warrior), are deeply in love despite their challenging circumstances. Their love is strong enough that the 'guerreiro' even considers leaving his life of crime for her.

However, their happiness is short-lived as they fall victim to the envy and malicious gossip of others. The 'guerreiro' is manipulated by a 'perigoso elemento' (dangerous element) who plants seeds of doubt and jealousy in his mind, falsely convincing him that his beloved has been unfaithful. Consumed by rage and betrayal, the 'guerreiro' confronts his lover with a gun, leading to a tragic confrontation where he shoots her in a fit of anger.

In her dying moments, the young girl reveals her innocence, stating that she never betrayed him. The 'guerreiro' is struck by the gravity of his actions when he learns from her mother that she was pregnant with his child. The song concludes with a powerful moral lesson: the 'guerreiro' realizes too late that he should not have trusted just anyone, as the seeds of malice can come from those close to us. The song serves as a cautionary tale about the destructive power of jealousy and the importance of trust and communication in relationships.

Mc Martinho's storytelling is vivid and emotional, capturing the listener's attention with its raw depiction of life in the favelas. The song's narrative is a reflection of the harsh realities faced by many in these communities, where love and violence often intertwine, and the consequences of one's actions can be irrevocable.
