Eu Sei de Cor
Marília Mendonça Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

É, já 'tá ficando chato, né?
A encheção de saco, pois é
Prepara que eu já 'to me preparando
Enquanto 'cê 'tá indo eu 'to voltando
E todo esse caminho eu sei de cor
Se eu não me engano agora vai me deixar só
O segundo passo é não me atender
O terceiro é se arrepender

Se o que dói em mim doesse em você

Deixa, deixa mesmo de ser importante
Vai deixando a gente pra outra hora
Vai tentar abrir a porta desse amor
Quando eu tiver jogado a chave fora

Deixa, deixa mesmo de ser importante
Vai deixando a gente pra outra hora
E quando se der conta já passou
Quando olhar pra trás já fui embora

E todo esse caminho eu sei de cor
Se eu não me engano agora vai me deixar só
O segundo passo é não me atender
O terceiro é se arrepender
Se o que dói em mim doesse em você

Deixa, deixa mesmo de ser importante
Vai deixando a gente pra outra hora
Vai tentar abrir a porta desse amor
Quando eu tiver jogado a chave fora

Deixa, deixa mesmo de ser importante
Vai deixando a gente pra outra hora
E quando se der conta já passou
Quando olhar pra trás já fui embora

E quando se der conta já passou
Quando olhar pra trás já fui embora

Overall Meaning

The song "Eu Sei de Cor" by Marília Mendonça talks about a woman who is tired of being bothered by a man who is inconsistent in the relationship. She knows what to expect from him, she knows the pattern, and she's ready for it. She's decided to end the cycle by playing hard-to-get and not being available whenever the man decides to show up. She's preparing herself emotionally for the eventual breakup that she knows is coming. She knows the road ahead and is confident that she can move forward alone.

The lyrics also talk about the man's regret, but it's too late as the woman has moved on. She's ready to let go of their relationship and put it behind her. The song sends a message that it's better to let go of someone who isn't fully committed to the relationship than to hold onto a flimsy connection. The lyrics are powerful and relatable, as many people have been in a similar situation before.

É, já 'tá ficando chato, né?
It's getting tiring, isn't it?

A encheção de saco, pois é
All this nagging, right?

Prepara que eu já 'to me preparando
Be prepared because I'm already getting ready

Enquanto 'cê 'tá indo eu 'to voltando
While you're leaving, I'm already heading back

E todo esse caminho eu sei de cor
I know this whole path by heart

Se eu não me engano agora vai me deixar só
If I'm not mistaken, now you're going to leave me alone

O segundo passo é não me atender
The second step is not to answer my calls

O terceiro é se arrepender
The third step is to regret it

Se o que dói em mim doesse em você
If what hurts me would hurt you

Deixa, deixa mesmo de ser importante
Let it go, stop being important

Vai deixando a gente pra outra hora
Leave it for another time

Vai tentar abrir a porta desse amor
Try to open the door to this love

Quando eu tiver jogado a chave fora
When I've already thrown away the key

E quando se der conta já passou
And when you realize, it's already over

Quando olhar pra trás já fui embora
When you look back, I've already left
