Se Você Tivesse Cuidado (part. Jonas Esticado)

Mari Fernandez's song, 'Se Você Tivesse Cuidado (feat. Jonas Esticado),' delves into the emotional turmoil and resilience that follows betrayal in a relationship. The lyrics express a poignant narrative of repeated mistakes and the final decision to no longer forgive. The protagonist acknowledges that this isn't the first time they've been wronged, but it will be the last time they allow themselves to be hurt. This decision marks a significant turning point, highlighting the importance of self-respect and the refusal to tolerate further disrespect.

The song's chorus underscores the deep emotional impact of betrayal. The line 'Traição quando não mata fere' (Betrayal, when it doesn't kill, wounds) vividly captures the lingering pain that infidelity causes. While the heart may be willing to forgive, the mind struggles to forget, creating a lasting scar. This internal conflict between forgiveness and memory is a central theme, emphasizing the difficulty of moving past such deep emotional wounds.

In the final lines, the protagonist reflects on what could have been if their partner had valued and cared for them. Instead of hearing 'I love you,' they are left with a painful 'goodbye.' This contrast between what was and what could have been serves as a powerful reminder of the consequences of neglect and betrayal. Mari Fernandez, known for her emotive vocal delivery and relatable lyrics, effectively conveys the raw emotions of heartbreak and the strength required to move on. The collaboration with Jonas Esticado adds depth to the song, blending their voices to enhance the emotional resonance of the narrative.
