Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Coração Mal Assombrado by Marília Mendonça from Portuguese to English.

When you lay your head on your pillow

It won't just be your conscience weighing on you

Of your nightmares with me, this is only the first

The more you try to run, the more you'll find me

I'm in that long shower

On the CD that never leaves your car

There'll be a piece of me wherever you go

I'm everywhere

In the bitter taste of your mouth

In the tears that soak your clothes

I'm in the dates that went wrong

I'm everywhere

In the space left in your bed

I'm in the silence that calls you

You're hallucinating, I'm not by your side

It's your heart that's haunted

I'm in that long shower

On the CD that never leaves your car

There'll be a piece of me wherever you go

I'm everywhere

In the bitter taste of your mouth

In the tears that soak your clothes

I'm in the dates that went wrong

I'm everywhere

In the space left in your bed

I'm in the silence that calls you

You're hallucinating, I'm not by your side

It's yours

I'm everywhere

In the bitter taste of your mouth

In the tears that soak your clothes

I'm in the dates that went wrong

I'm everywhere

In the space left in your bed

I'm in the silence that calls you

You're hallucinating, I'm not by your side

It's your heart that's haunted

SONG MEANING

Coração Mal Assombrado paints heartbreak as a ghost story. Marília Mendonça sings from the viewpoint of a lover who, though physically gone, keeps "haunting" every corner of the ex-partner’s life. From the long, lonely showers to the stale CD looping in the car, her presence lingers like an unwanted spirit, reminding the listener that guilt and regret can be harder to exorcise than any phantom.

In a playful yet piercing way, the lyrics list everyday scenes where this spectral memory appears: the bitter taste left on the lips, the tears soaking clothes, the empty side of the bed that suddenly feels too wide. The hook drives home the main idea: “It’s not me beside you, it’s your heart that’s haunted.” By framing emotional residue as a supernatural curse, the song turns a familiar breakup theme into an engaging tale of love that refuses to leave quietly—perfect for learners to explore vivid imagery, repetition, and colloquial Brazilian Portuguese.
