Solteiro Até Morrer Lyrics in English by MC Kekel
Solteiro means 'single' or 'unmarried'. While it might seem like a common word, its repetition and prominent placement in the song's title and chorus make it particularly impactful and memorable.
In "Solteiro Até Morrer" (Single Until I Die), MC Kekel uses this word to declare a strong, almost defiant, commitment to remaining single. It's not just about being unattached, but about embracing a lifestyle of freedom and independence after a past heartbreak, making it a central theme of the song.
The whole song turns on a vow the narrator keeps coming back to: "Uma vez solteiro" / "Solteiro até morrer" [Once single / Single until I die]. It is made in the wreckage of a breakup, and MC Kekel plays it straight — no score to settle, just a man who has decided freedom is the safer bet.
What makes it land is how gently he treats the woman he is walking away from. When the two of them run into each other later on, he says, what he will tell her is "valeu te conhecer" [it was worth knowing you]. The verses fill in how he got there: he suffered, he put a song on to forget, he had a drink. Then comes the promise — "Nunca mais vou me prender" [Never again will I tie myself down]. That contrast is why the KondZilla video turned it into one of 2017's biggest funk paulista records: a heartbreak song you can dance to, whose hook is a man promising himself his freedom rather than complaining about being alone.
