Open letter to our love
'I'm writing to you with a broken heart
Every letter I write
It feels like it hurts more than a gunshot
It's gonna be hard
See you walking down the street with someone else
That it's not me
Why did you tell me?
Say it here in front of me
He swore the whole world, he promised, but it was different
And now I'm watching you go
From the place you swore to me
That was forever
How am I supposed to say goodbye?
For the person I asked God for
How do you get it out of your head?
How do you want me to forget you?
How am I going to tell God?
For the person I asked God for
Sorry I don't have the answer
But please don't go away
It's to break your heart
Open letter to our love
'I'm writing to you with a broken heart
Every letter I write
It feels like it hurts more than a gunshot
It's gonna be hard
See you walking down the street with someone else
That it's not me
Why did you tell me?
Say it here in front of me
He swore the whole world, he promised, but it was different
And now I'm watching you go
From the place you swore to me
That was forever
How am I supposed to say goodbye?
For the person I asked God for
How do you get it out of your head?
How do you want me to forget you?
How am I supposed to say goodbye?
For the person I asked God for
How do you get it out of your head?
How do you want me to forget you?
I'm sorry, love, but I don't have the courage to say goodbye to you
How do you get it out of your head?
How do you want me to forget you?
How am I going to tell God?
For the person I asked God for
Sorry I don't have the answer
But please don't go away
It's to break your heart

lascarto crack / to break (colloquial)

Lascar literally means 'to crack' or 'to chip', but in Brazilian Portuguese, especially in informal contexts, it's often used to mean 'to break' or 'to hurt deeply', particularly when referring to emotions or the heart.

In the song, the phrase "É pra lascar o coração" translates to "It's enough to break the heart" or "It's heartbreaking." It's a strong, colloquial expression that conveys intense emotional pain, making it a memorable and impactful word in the context of a breakup.

Have you ever felt a heartbreak so deep it's almost impossible to say goodbye? Mari Fernandez's song "Adeus," which means Goodbye in Portuguese, is a powerful and emotional "open letter" to a love that's ending. The singer pours out her feelings, explaining that writing about the breakup is more painful than a gunshot wound. She's haunted by the idea of seeing her ex with someone new and struggles with the promises that were broken.

The song's central question is truly heartbreaking: "Como é que eu vou dizer adeus? Pra pessoa que eu pedi pra deus?" This translates to, "How am I going to say goodbye? To the person I asked God for?" It captures the feeling of losing someone you believed was your destiny. The singer is trapped between the need to move on and the desperate wish for her love not to leave, making "Adeus" a powerful anthem for anyone who has found it too hard to let go.
