Conduta (feat. Mari Fernandez)
NATTAN
A Tale of Regret and Resilience in 'Conduta'
In 'Conduta,' NATTAN, featuring Mari Fernandez, delves into the complexities of a fractured relationship marked by regret, betrayal, and the struggle for redemption. The song opens with a plea for forgiveness, as NATTAN's character admits to his mistakes and begs for another chance. However, Mari Fernandez's character stands firm, refusing to be swayed by his apologies. Her resolve is clear in the repeated refrain, 'Primeiro, esquece de mim / Segundo, aprende a perder / Terceiro, vaza daqui / Não sou mais sua bebê,' which translates to 'First, forget about me / Second, learn to lose / Third, get out of here / I'm not your baby anymore.' This refrain underscores her determination to move on and not be drawn back into a cycle of hurt and disappointment.
The song's narrative is rich with emotional tension, as NATTAN's character acknowledges his 'vacilei na conduta' (I messed up my conduct) and admits to being unfaithful, having 'um pé na sua vida / E outro na rua' (one foot in your life and the other in the street). This admission highlights the internal conflict and the duality of his actions, torn between commitment and freedom. Despite his remorse and repeated apologies, Mari Fernandez's character remains unconvinced, emphasizing that his promises of change are not enough to mend the broken trust.
'Conduta' is a poignant exploration of the themes of accountability and self-respect. Mari Fernandez's character embodies strength and self-worth, refusing to settle for less than she deserves. Her repeated insistence that he 'para de mentir' (stop lying) and her unwavering stance against his pleas for forgiveness reflect a broader message about the importance of self-respect and the courage to walk away from toxic relationships. The song resonates with anyone who has faced similar struggles, offering a powerful reminder that true change must be proven through actions, not just words.
