Nunca Mais
Maria Bethânia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Eu tentei te escrever
Mas depois desisti
Preferi te falar
Assim a sós

Terminar nosso amor
Para mim é melhor
Para nós é melhor
Convém à nós

Convém, amor
Nunca mais vou querer o teu beijo
Nunca mais
Nunca mais quero ter teu amor
Nunca mais

Uma vez me pediste sorrindo
E eu voltei
Outra vez me pediste chorando
Eu voltei
Mas agora não posso, não quero
Nunca mais

O que tu me fizeste amor




Foi demais
Foi demais

Overall Meaning

In Nunca Mais, Maria Bethânia sings about the end of a relationship. The song starts with her saying that she attempted to write to her former partner, but gave up and decided to speak to him alone. She then declares that breaking up is the best decision for her and for them both. She utters "convém à nós", which in English means "it's convenient for us", implying that ending their love will bring benefits to both parties. Bethânia then goes on to say that she will never again desire his kiss or his love. She recalls that he once begged her to come back, and she did. But now, she refuses to do so. In the final verse, she reflects that, whatever he did to her, it was too much for her and now she must move on.


Nunca Mais is a Brazilian song written by Dorival Caymmi, a well-known Brazilian singer and composer. The song was recorded by Maria Bethânia in 1968, and it became one of her biggest hits. It has been covered by many artists, including Gal Costa and João Gilberto.
