Deep down I almost cried
Deep down I almost drank
I didn't even see the bottom of the glass
I forgot you
Accidentally on purpose
It doesn't even hurt anymore
Honestly
I don't even remember what your name was
Let alone the taste of your mouth
You can't believe I truly forgot you
That my life boils down to booze and bars
Me, of all people, an enemy of longing
Me, of all people, Marília Tavares
You can't believe I truly forgot you
That my life boils down to booze and bars
Me, of all people, an enemy of longing
Me, of all people, Marília Tavares
Deep down I almost cried
Deep down I almost drank
I didn't even see the bottom of the glass
I forgot you
Accidentally on purpose
It doesn't even hurt anymore
Honestly
I don't even remember what your name was
Let alone the taste of your mouth
You can't believe I truly forgot you
That my life boils down to booze and bars
Me, of all people, an enemy of longing
Me, of all people, Marília Tavares
You can't believe I truly forgot you
That my life boils down to booze and bars
Me, of all people, an enemy of longing
Me, of all people, Marília Tavares
Me, of all people, Marília Tavares

SONG MEANING

Inimiga da Saudade is a cheeky, upbeat anthem about shaking off heartbreak before the tears even have time to fall. Marília Tavares playfully boasts that she almost cried and almost drowned her sorrows in a drink, yet she never even saw the bottom of the glass. With a wink, she tells her ex that she has already forgotten not only their kiss but even their name, proving that nostalgia and regret are not on her playlist.

The chorus drives the joke home: how could anyone believe her life now revolves around binge-drinking and late-night bars? After all, she proudly calls herself the “inimiga da saudade” – the sworn enemy of longing. The song mixes humor, confidence, and a touch of irony, turning what could have been a sad country ballad into a lively celebration of independence and emotional resilience. Listeners are invited to laugh, sing along, and remember that sometimes the best revenge is simply moving on with a smile.
