“Beijo Pilantra” plunges us into the fiery push-and-pull of a situationship that tastes sweet in the moment and hurts like a hangover the next day. Marília Tavares sings as someone who knows exactly how dangerous their lover’s kiss is, yet keeps circling back for more. She tries to keep her guard up—“tira a mão do meu pescoço” (“take your hand off my neck”)—but the chemistry is explosive. Two more drinks and she forgets every red flag, letting the smooth-talking “pilantra” (trickster) tie her tongue in knots with empty “I love you”s.
Behind the catchy beat lies a tale of temptation, regret, and self-realization. The partner disappears “with the moon,” leaving her to face a week of tears and a bed full of lonely memories. Each time he slips away, she drowns the heartbreak in alcohol, swearing she’ll ignore him next time—yet his rogue kiss keeps resetting the cycle. The song captures that relatable moment when desire overpowers logic, painting a vivid picture of a love that’s intoxicating, addictive, and ultimately unsatisfying.
