maltratamistreats / abuses

Maltrata comes from the verb maltratar, meaning to mistreat or abuse. While it can refer to physical harm, it's often used metaphorically to describe emotional pain or hardship.

In

Não Vai Embora is a heartfelt duet where Dilsinho and Luísa Sonza turn a simple doorway into the scene of a dramatic love cliff-hanger. The singers play two lovers stuck between goodbye and one-more-try: time feels endless without each other, every routine is dull, and their hearts are already “tattooed” with the other’s name. Yet pride and uncertainty keep them apart, so the chorus becomes a desperate knock on the door—open up, let me in, one last hug, one last kiss—because no other embrace can erase what they have.

Behind the catchy pagode-pop melody lies a universal question we all face after a breakup: do we wait, move on, or fight for the spark that once made life colorful? The repetition of “você vai lembrar de mim” (you will remember me) shows confidence that true feelings leave permanent marks, while the plea “não vai embora” (don’t go away) admits fear of starting over. The song captures that bittersweet moment when love feels both lost and irresistible, making listeners sway, sing along, and maybe text someone they still miss.

Dilsinho (born Dilson Scher Neto in 1992) is a Brazilian singer-songwriter from Rio de Janeiro, raised on the Ilha do Governador. He got his first guitar from his father at age 13 and started out playing in local bars.

He began his career in 2009 with the band Para de Kaô, and before going solo he wrote songs recorded by other pagode and samba artists, including Thiaguinho, Alexandre Pires, and Sorriso Maroto. He launched his own solo career in 2014.

Known for blending pop, hip hop, and funk carioca into a style he calls "pagode diferentão," Dilsinho is one of the most streamed pagode artists in Brazil, and his hit "Péssimo Negócio" was the most-played song on Brazilian radio in 2019.
