Pra Que Pedir Perdão
Ana Costa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Se é pra recordar dessa maneira,
Sempre causando desprazer,
Jogando fora a vida em mais uma bebedeira,
Ó, sinceramente, é preferível me esquecer

Eu te prometi mundos e fundos
Mas não queria te magoar
Eu não resisto aos botequins mais vagabundos
Mas não pretendia te envergonhar
Marquei bobeira...

Vi muitas vezes o destino
Ir na direção errada
E a bondade virar completo desatino
A carícia se transformando em bofetada

Ah, eu sou rolimã numa ladeira
Não tenho o vício da ilusão:
Hoje, eu vejo as coisas como são
E estrela é só um incêndio na solidão




Se eu feri teu sonho em pleno vôo
Pra que pedir perdão se eu não me perdôo?

Overall Meaning

Ana Costa's song Pra Que Pedir Perdão talks about the regrets and the consequences of the singer's past actions. The opening lines suggest that the memories of the past are painful, and it is better to forget them. The singer is remorseful for causing displeasure to her loved one by wasting her life in alcoholism. She acknowledges her weaknesses of not being able to resist the allure of questionable bars but did not intend to shame her lover. She admits her mistake with the phrase, "Marquei bobeira."


The second verse talks about how fate sometimes takes a wrong turn, and kindness can become wickedness, love can turn into an insult. The singer sees herself as a rolling stone on a slope; she does not hold onto illusions anymore. She has a more realistic view of the world, and the stars are merely lonely fires. The final lines state that if she had hurt her lover's dreams while trying to fulfil her own desires, an apology would not matter if she cannot forgive herself.


The lyrics of this song depict the harsh reality of life that is often ignored or sugar-coated in popular music. Ana Costa's simple and straightforward lyrics cut to the core of the issue, making it relatable to anyone who has experienced similar emotions. The use of street language in the song gives it a raw feel, adding another level of authenticity to it. The song's melody is soothing, and the singer's voice is soft yet powerful, making the listener feel the weight of the lyrics.

If remembering things this way means causing discomfort and wasting life on yet another drinking binge, then honestly, it's better to forget me.


Eu te prometi mundos e fundos Mas não queria te magoar Eu não resisto aos botequins mais vagabundos Mas não pretendia te envergonhar Marquei bobeira...
I promised you the world, but didn't mean to hurt you. I can't resist the shadiest bars, but never meant to embarrass you. I messed up...


Vi muitas vezes o destino Ir na direção errada E a bondade virar completo desatino A carícia se transformando em bofetada
I've seen fate go awry too many times, and kindness turn into madness. Caresses can turn into blows.


Ah, eu sou rolimã numa ladeira Não tenho o vício da ilusão: Hoje, eu vejo as coisas como são E estrela é só um incêndio na solidão
I'm like a roller coaster going downhill, but I'm not addicted to illusion. Today, I see things as they are and realize a star is just a fire in solitude.


Se eu feri teu sonho em pleno vôo Pra que pedir perdão se eu não me perdôo?
If I shattered your dream mid-flight, why apologize if I can't forgive myself?
