Coração de Osso (part. Naiara Azevedo)

“Coração de Osso” by May e Karen, featuring Naiara Azevedo, is a powerful anthem of betrayal and self-empowerment. The song narrates the emotional journey of a woman who discovers her partner's infidelity. The lyrics vividly describe the pain and shock of realizing that the love she believed in was a facade. The phrase “Me enganou todo esse tempo” (You deceived me all this time) sets the tone for the song, highlighting the protagonist's sense of betrayal and disillusionment.

The metaphor “Coração de osso” (Heart of bone) is central to the song, symbolizing the partner's cold and unfeeling nature. This metaphor is reinforced by the repeated line “Todo cachorro é dono!” (Every dog has an owner!), which suggests that the unfaithful partner is as unworthy and disloyal as a stray dog. The protagonist's realization of her partner's betrayal leads to a powerful declaration of self-worth and independence, as she demands, “Saia da minha casa!” (Get out of my house!). This line signifies her reclaiming her space and her life from the deceitful partner.

The collaboration with Naiara Azevedo adds an extra layer of strength and solidarity to the song. Both artists are known for their empowering messages and strong vocal performances, which resonate deeply with listeners who have experienced similar betrayals. The song's repetitive and emphatic chorus underscores the protagonist's determination to move on and not let the betrayal define her. “Coração de Osso” is not just a song about heartbreak; it is a declaration of resilience and the reclaiming of one's dignity and self-respect.
