They say out there
That I ran from you
On that good night
That I freaked out for nothing
They talk out there
Something I didn't do
What's going on?
You say it's no good anymore
That it was my fault and I just want you here
Look
I promise you I'm not that person anymore
And look
I swear I tried, but I hit rock bottom when you left
When you left
Let nobody tell me anything
My soul is hurt
Only I know what I feel when my tears fall
Let nobody tell me anything
I don't wanna talk about time anymore
And that everything will pass
You say it's no good anymore
That it was my fault and I just want you here
Look
I promise you I'm not that person anymore
And look
I swear I tried, but I hit rock bottom when you left
Hey
I promise
I swear, I swear I tried
Look

SONG MEANING

“Foste Embora” means “You Left,” and Nininho turns those two words into a whole roller-coaster of feelings. The narrator wakes up to gossip that he ran away from his lover on “that good night,” yet he insists it is all hearsay. What really matters is the ache left behind: he is drowning in regret, promising he is “no longer that person,” and desperately wishing he could rewind time. Every line circles back to one plea: come back, because life sank the moment you walked out.

At its heart, the song is a soulful confession of fault and a vow of change. Rumors swirl, pride crumbles, and tears fall, but hope flickers in every repeated “Olha” (Look). Nininho captures the universal moment when you realize too late what you lost, and you throw every ounce of honesty on the table to win it back. The upbeat Latin-flavored groove makes the sorrow feel almost danceable, reminding listeners that even in heartbreak there is rhythm, and maybe—just maybe—a second chance.
