Decisão Errada

“Decisão Errada” by Rafa e Pipo Marques delves into the emotional turmoil of a past relationship and the lingering feelings that come with it. The song's protagonist is addressing an ex-lover who has moved on to a new relationship. Despite the new relationship, the ex-lover's actions and emotions reveal that they are still deeply affected by the past love. The protagonist sees through the facade of happiness that the ex-lover tries to project, recognizing that their new relationship is a mere attempt to fill the void left by the previous one.

The lyrics are rich with metaphors and emotional imagery. The line “Sorriso no rosto com a alma marcada” (A smile on the face with a scarred soul) poignantly captures the inner conflict of the ex-lover, who outwardly appears happy but is internally struggling. The repeated refrain “Beija a boca dele, mas só lembra a minha” (Kiss his lips, but only remember mine) emphasizes the idea that physical presence cannot replace emotional connection. The protagonist is confident that the ex-lover's new relationship is a mistake, a “decisão errada” (wrong decision), and that they are still the one who occupies their thoughts and heart.

The song also touches on themes of loneliness and self-deception. The ex-lover is described as being “tão sozinha” (so lonely) despite being with someone else, highlighting the emptiness that comes from being in a relationship that lacks true emotional fulfillment. The protagonist challenges the ex-lover to confront their true feelings, asking repeatedly, “Será que isso é amor?” (Is this love?). This question underscores the doubt and confusion that often accompany attempts to move on from a significant relationship.

Rafa e Pipo Marques, known for their vibrant and emotive musical style, bring these themes to life with a blend of heartfelt lyrics and compelling melodies. Their ability to convey complex emotions through music makes “Decisão Errada” a relatable and poignant exploration of love, regret, and the difficulty of moving on.
