Mentiras
Nana Caymmi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Essas coisas todas
Essas coisas tolas
Que eu gosto de ouvir
Eu sei
Que todas essas coisas tantas
Que essas coisas todas tontas
Diga
Que o amor foi tudo
Mesmo assim, contudo
Foi bem melhor partir
Eu sei
Por isso, minta, por favor
Diga que sem o meu amor
Você não pode mais viver
Diga
Que o amor foi tudo
Mesmo assim, contudo
Foi bem melhor partir
Eu sei
Por isso, minta, por favor
Diga que sem o meu amor
Você não pode mais viver
Diga
The lyrics to Nana Caymmi's song "Mentiras" convey the theme of deception and the desire for comforting lies. The opening lines of the song ask the person to say these things, referring to the lies or false promises that the singer enjoys hearing. It suggests that the singer prefers to live in a world of illusions rather than face the harsh truth.
The next set of lyrics acknowledges that all the numerous lies told by the person being addressed are nothing but foolishness and deception. The repetition of "essas coisas todas" emphasizes the multitude of lies being spoken. It becomes clear that the person being addressed is not to be trusted, and their words are simply fabrications designed to manipulate the singer.
The following verse then asks the person to lie further, claiming that love was everything and yet it was still better to part ways. The singer is aware that this claim is false, but still desires to hear it. This could be interpreted as the singer seeking solace in the idea that love was not enough to sustain the relationship and that leaving was the better choice, despite knowing deep down that it might not be true.
The final repetition of these lyrics reinforces the singer's request for the person to lie and say that their life is incomplete without the singer's love. This line suggests that the person being addressed is not willing or capable of facing the reality of their life without the singer. The repetition emphasizes the singer's desire for their ex-lover to continue deceiving themselves, maintaining the illusion of their dependency on the singer's love.
Overall, "Mentiras" is a song that explores the complex emotions and desires related to deception and the need for comforting lies. It showcases the singer's willingness to suspend their own knowledge of the truth in order to maintain a sense of security and validation in their relationship. The lyrics highlight the singer's need for their ex-lover's lies to provide a false sense of stability and significance in their lives.
