SONG MEANING

🎶 “Coitada” is a cheeky, tongue-in-cheek confession from Portuguese singer Fransisca Borges. The narrator speaks directly to an ex who still lingers around, insisting that the real victim is his current girlfriend. With playful sarcasm she lists the girlfriend’s “perfect” qualities — magra, gira, iludida — while pointing out that this supposedly ideal match still ends up sleeping alone. The song flips between self-blame ("A culpa é minha") and mock sympathy ("Coitada da tua namorada"), painting the boyfriend as a smooth-talking musician who cannot let go of old flames.

Behind the sharp humor lies a deeper message about toxic relationships and self-respect. Fransisca spotlights the contradictions we tolerate for love: the girlfriend blocks other women yet ignores red flags, the ex flaunts his dramas yet hides real feelings, and the singer herself admits fault while refusing to stay silent. “Coitada” turns jealousy into a catchy anthem, inviting listeners to laugh, empathize and maybe rethink the romantic games they play.
