Descontar literally means "to discount" or "to deduct," often used in financial contexts. However, in Brazilian Portuguese slang, it can also mean "to take out" or "to get revenge" on someone or something.
In "Coisa De Ex," the singer uses it in a very evocative way: "Vou descontar a raiva dela na sua boca" (I'm going to take out her anger on your mouth). This implies a passionate, almost vengeful act of love, turning negative emotions into intense physical affection. It's a unique and memorable use of the word that adds a layer of drama and intensity to the lyrics.
Get ready for some serious sass in Paula Mattos's "Coisa de ex"! This song is all about a new love interest telling her partner to completely forget about his ex. She's tired of the ex causing drama and trying to break them up, singing, "Esquece de uma vez o mal que ela te fez / Ficou lá no passado é coisa de ex" [Forget once and for all the harm she did to you / It stayed in the past, it's an ex-thing].
Our singer is not holding back! She's determined to show the ex that her man is hers now. She plans to "descontar a raiva dela na sua boca" [take out her anger on your mouth] and "dar o troco tirando a sua roupa" [get revenge by taking off your clothes]. Talk about a bold move to claim her territory! She even says, "Eu vou contar pra ela que a gente se ama" [I'm going to tell her that we love each other]. It's a fun, feisty declaration of love and a clear message to anyone trying to interfere.
