Tell me the truth
There's no vanity left
I'm gonna stay on the street
And drink just one more glass
I open some wine, still drown
Waiting for a picture of you
Tell me the truth
You don't need to miss me
Because I'm not only yours
I'm gonna drink just one more glass
I open some wine, still drown
Waiting for a picture of you
Verse 1
I'm waiting for the call you hardly ever make
And I end up wanting to hear what your fado says
It's you and your poems
I want that space
Write your songs on my scars
And pay attention to the paragraph
Step into my meter
I want you to understand
You're not just looks to me
But I was never yours
Make plans with me
Come meet me on my street
Giving Cupid a dance
Or grab the glass, come closer
Sit next to me
And don't say you're not only mine if you look at me like that
So if you want the truth
I miss you
And today I'm the one insisting you drop by here
Come get to know my house
I wanna feel you close when the light goes out
I love your smell on my pillow
And even if you don't come tomorrow
Listen to the rain hitting the tiles
While the night isn't over
Tonight I'm heading home thinking about you
Tomorrow I'll make sure I don't even pass by here
On every street a blackout
Turn off the crimson light
I throw the glass to the ground just to put an end
To this night
To this night
Tell me the truth
You don't need to miss me
Because I'm not only yours
I'm gonna drink just one more glass
I open some wine, still drown
Waiting for a picture of you
Outro
Tell the truth, my fadista

SONG MEANING

“Fala-me A Verdade” (Tell Me the Truth) drops us into a late-night Lisbon scene where Piruka, glass in hand, wrestles with love, freedom and the famous Portuguese saudade. Over a hypnotic beat colored by Bia Caboz’s fado-tinged vocals, he begs for honesty while admitting he might drown his feelings in “só mais um copo” – just one more drink. The song plays like a dialogue: he insists he is not exclusively hers, yet he keeps waiting for her call, her scent on his pillow and the spark that turns the streetlights crimson. The push-and-pull creates a relatable portrait of modern romance – half bravado, half vulnerability.

Under the party lights we find deeper questions about identity and connection. Piruka uses rap verses to carve his own “métrica,” inviting her poetry to heal his scars, while Bia’s voice echoes the bittersweet fatalism of traditional fado. Between their lines we hear the clash of independence versus attachment: Can we claim our own space and still crave another’s presence? The answer is never simple, so the singer pours another glass, listens to the rain on the roof tiles and hopes the night lasts long enough for truth to finally arrive.
