Passa Mal
Marília Mendonça Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Quando me deixou, eu nem sonhava em terminar
Da turma do cinema, eu passei pra turma do bar
Daqueles que bebem só pra lembrar
E depois chorar, chorar

O tempo passou, passou
Tudo mudou, mudou
Da sua boca, eu já nem lembro do sabor

Mundo girou, girou
Girou, rodou, rodou
Desaprendi a te chamar de meu amor

Na minha vida, o seu coração serviu de degrau
Te ver sofrendo não é bom, é sensacional
Agora passa mal, agora passa mal, agora passa mal

Na minha vida, o seu coração serviu de degrau
Te ver sofrendo não é bom, é sensacional
Agora passa mal, agora passa mal, agora passa mal

O tempo passou, passou
Tudo mudou, mudou
Da sua boca, eu já nem lembro do sabor
Mundo girou, girou
Girou, rodou, rodou
Desaprendi a te chamar de meu amor

Na minha vida, o seu coração serviu de degrau
Te ver sofrendo não é bom, é sensacional
Agora passa mal, agora passa mal, agora passa mal

Na minha vida, o seu coração serviu de degrau
Te ver sofrendo não é bom, é sensacional
Agora passa mal, agora passa mal, agora passa mal

Na minha vida, o seu coração serviu de degrau

Te ver sofrendo não é bom, é sensacional
Agora passa mal, agora passa mal, agora passa mal

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Marília Mendonça's song "Passa Mal" depict the singer's perspective after a breakup. At first, she couldn't even imagine the relationship ending, but now she has moved on from the "cinema group" to the "bar group," where they drink to remember and then cry. Time has passed and everything has changed. She no longer remembers the taste of her ex's mouth, and she has unlearned calling them her love. The singer reveals that in her life, her ex's heart served as a stepping stone, and seeing them suffer is not just good, but sensational. In a somewhat vindictive tone, the singer tells her ex to now suffer and experience the pain they caused her.

This song portrays the aftermath of a breakup, highlighting the singer's growth and emotional detachment from the past relationship. It reflects getting through the pain and finding empowerment in seeing the ex-partner suffer.

Quando me deixou, eu nem sonhava em terminar
When you left me, I never even dreamed of ending it

Da turma do cinema, eu passei pra turma do bar
From the cinema group, I moved on to the bar group

Daqueles que bebem só pra lembrar
Those who drink just to remember

E depois chorar, chorar
And then cry, cry

O tempo passou, passou
Time passed, passed

Tudo mudou, mudou
Everything changed, changed

Da sua boca, eu já nem lembro do sabor
I don't even remember the taste of your lips

Mundo girou, girou
The world turned, turned

Girou, rodou, rodou
Turned, rotated, rotated

Desaprendi a te chamar de meu amor
I unlearned how to call you my love

Na minha vida, o seu coração serviu de degrau
In my life, your heart served as a step

Te ver sofrendo não é bom, é sensacional
Seeing you suffering is not good, it's sensational

Agora passa mal, agora passa mal, agora passa mal
Now suffer, now suffer, now suffer
