CLARA Lyrics in English by Alee, Klisman, DougBeats, Qualywav1
Fútil translates to "futile" or "shallow." It's an interesting word because it describes something or someone lacking serious purpose or value, often in a dismissive way.
In the song, the artist uses it to describe both the person he's singing about ("desse teu lado fútil" - "this futile side of yours") and himself ("eu também sou fútil" - "I am also futile"), revealing a complex and self-aware reflection on their relationship's superficiality.
Alee's "CLARA" featuring Klisman, DougBeats, and Qualywav1 is a super honest look at a messy relationship, full of contradictions and a bit of a power struggle. The singer admits to doing things that aren't right, like saying "Fiz coisas que eu sei que não convém" [I did things I know aren't appropriate], and talks about the allure of the trap life, asking "Da onde você acha que vem essa grana" [Where do you think this money comes from?]. It seems like both people are using each other to escape their own problems, with the singer even wondering if the other person "odeia me amar ou se tu me ama me odiar" [hates loving me or loves hating me].
It's a really relatable song about the push and pull of a relationship that's probably past its expiration date. The singer notices the other person deleting photos and blocking them, but then unblocking them later, seeing them "escrever e apagar" [write and delete]. There's a sense of regret, too, as the singer admits to messing up plans and even warming up the other side of the bed with someone else, only to realize, "eu também sou fútil" [I'm also futile]. It's a blunt and open confession about not truly loving, just getting involved with others, repeating "Eu não tinha amado, me envolvi com outras" [I hadn't loved, I got involved with others]. It's a whole mood.
