Não Voltarei a Ser Fiel

Santos & Pecadores' song "Não Voltarei a Ser Fiel" delves into the complexities of infidelity and the transient nature of relationships. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a protagonist who finds himself as the main actor in the theater of the night, engaging in fleeting romances and emotional escapades. The opening lines, "Fiz-me na noite actor principal, Entrei numa peça nem sei bem qual," suggest a sense of disorientation and a search for identity within the nocturnal world. The protagonist is both the lover who watches his partner dance and the wanderer who will inevitably leave, highlighting the ephemeral nature of his commitments.

The chorus, "Não..não voltarei...a ser fiel... Fiel," is a powerful declaration of the protagonist's refusal to return to a life of fidelity. This repeated refrain underscores a sense of liberation and defiance, as he embraces the chaos and unpredictability of his nocturnal adventures. The night becomes a stage where he can escape the monotony of a "vida vazia" (empty life) and seek out the thrill of new experiences, even if they are fleeting and insincere.

The song also touches on themes of self-deception and the search for meaning. The lines "Procuro a loucura na noite fingida, Esqueçer mais um dia" reveal a desire to lose oneself in the madness of the night, to forget the emptiness of daily life. The protagonist acknowledges that he no longer cares about the opinions of others, choosing instead to "represento a verdade que eu bem entender" (represent the truth as I see fit). This suggests a complex interplay between reality and illusion, as he navigates the blurred lines between genuine emotion and performative acts.
