Voltei (feat. Mumuzinho)

Molejo's song 'Voltei,' featuring Mumuzinho, delves into the emotional turmoil of a man striving to win back his lover's affection. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of his relentless efforts to change his ways, hoping to be recognized and appreciated by his significant other. He quits drinking, stops partying, and even takes up running, all in a bid to prove his commitment. Despite these significant changes, his partner remains indifferent, leaving him feeling exhausted and unrecognized.

The song's narrative takes a turn as the protagonist's frustration reaches a boiling point. He confesses that the stress of maintaining this new lifestyle is overwhelming. The sacrifices he made, such as giving up smoking and drinking, are taking a toll on him. He admits that he only ran once and that his beard has grown back, symbolizing his struggle to maintain these changes. The repeated refrain of 'venho trabalhando, venho me esforçando' underscores his persistent yet futile efforts.

In the latter part of the song, the protagonist decides to revert to his old ways. He expresses a longing for his past life, filled with carefree indulgence and old friendships. The decision to return to 'sacanagem' and 'casa de massagem' signifies his acceptance of his true self, despite the societal pressures to conform. The song ends on a note of defiance, as he chooses to embrace his past and live authentically, even if it means losing his lover. This narrative highlights the tension between self-improvement for love and the importance of self-acceptance.
