Tó semedo - a sirio mesmo?
Ela - n'ta jura.

In Tó Semedo's song Jura, the lyrics revolve around the theme of love and trust being broken. The song begins with a conversation between two individuals, where one person asks if Tó knows her and she responds with "I swear." The chorus then delves into why people make promises of love when they will never keep them, and how the singer's love for this person had no boundaries. They believed that everything they did was to make their partner happy, but in the end, it was all a facade. The singer is left hurt and questioning why their partner made promises they knew they couldn't keep.
Throughout the song, it is clear that the singer is grappling with a love that has been lost. They don't understand why their partner would swear to be with them forever but then leave them feeling empty and alone. The line "If you knew that you didn't love me, why did you keep promising?" encapsulates the hurt and frustration that comes from feeling like someone has betrayed you. The chorus repeats the question "Why did you swear if you knew you wouldn't stay?" as a reminder of the broken trust that the singer wants answers for.
The lyrics of Jura are emotional and heartfelt, and they perfectly capture the pain that comes from having someone break your heart. Through its lyrical depth and honesty, the song has become a popular addition to Cape Verdean music.
