Song Meaning of “Não Mais / Gatinha Veneno – Ao Vivo” by Forró Perfeito
Não Mais/Gatinha Veneno, by Forró Perfeito, is a heart-wrenching story of two lovers who have experienced heartache and regret in their relationship. The song starts off with the narrator’s plea to his former love, asking her to come back, saying he’s sure they can work things out and restart what they once had. He carries on, mourning his lost love and wanting to reunite with her, but simultaneously warning himself to not get too close again as it will only lead to more heartache. He painfully reiterates his plea for her to return and take away his hurt, though he is reminded of the painful memories of what happened and why they went their separate ways.
The chorus is the narrator’s final vow to never again make the same mistake and open his heart up for such pain. In the bridge, the narrator’s sorrow turns into a warning to others. He warns people to be careful around the woman he is singing about, his former love, saying she is like a “gatinha veneno” (poisonous kitten), hinting that her beauty and charm makes it so easy for others to fall for her, only to experience the same pain and heartache he went through. The song serves as both an apology to his former love, and as a warning to others who might fall in the same trap as him.
