Throw your hand over
Come, come come, come, come, come
So much that I asked you
Take care of me
I didn't want to know
You'll see it wasn't worth it
Let me go
I decided
I won't go back
I will overcome
Since you've decided, you'll have to put up with it
I'd rather be a whore than go back
And I won't remember the two of us
I'd rather be a whore than go back
Ooh no
I'd rather be a whore than go back
This is Manu Bahtidão
Play your hand, play your hand, play your hand, hey
Hey, hey, hey
So much that I asked you
Take care of me
I didn't want to know
You'll see it wasn't worth it
Let me go
I decided
I won't go back
I will overcome
Since you've decided, you'll have to put up with it
I'd rather be a whore than go back
And I won't remember the two of us
I'd rather be a whore than go back
Ooh no
I'd rather be a whore than go back
Since you've decided, you'll have to put up with it
I'd rather be a whore than go back
And I won't remember the two of us
I'd rather be a whore than go back
Ooh no
I'd rather be a whore than go back

Puta — Whore

Puta is a strong and provocative word that directly translates to "whore" or "prostitute." While it can be used as a derogatory term, in the context of this song, it's used with a defiant and empowering twist.

The artist sings, "Prefiro ser puta do que voltar" (I'd rather be a whore than go back). This line is a powerful statement of independence and self-worth, where the singer chooses a path of perceived social defiance over returning to a toxic relationship. It's a memorable and impactful word that challenges societal norms and expresses a fierce resolve.

Get ready for some serious sass with Manu Bahtidão's "Prefiro Ser Puta"! This song is all about a person who's had enough of a relationship where their partner didn't care for them. The lyrics are super direct, with lines like "Tanto que eu pedi pra você cuidar de mim, Não quis saber" [I asked you so much to take care of me, You didn't want to know].

Our singer has made a firm decision: they're not going back! They declare, "Eu não vou voltar não, Vou superar" [I'm not going back, I'm going to get over it]. The most striking line, and the one that gives the song its title, is repeated for emphasis: "Prefiro ser puta do que voltar" [I'd rather be a whore than go back]. It's a blunt, defiant statement of independence, showing just how much they're done with the past relationship. They're ready to move on and forget about it, saying "E de nós dois eu não vou lembrar" [And I won't remember the two of us].
