I wanna know if you'll run after me
In an airport
Asking me to stay, not to fly
For me to slow down a bit
That you'll paint a canvas of my naked body
Have you memorized how many tattoos I have?
If I care about cartoons or scribble my drawings
How many shows are on my calendar, my favorite album
The weight of my heart
Where will the holidays be? How big's the demand?
In samba, I know it sambas, and what is it that makes you cry?
Do you know that, deep down, I'm scared
Of running alone and never reaching?
I fill myself with hope, with something new to happen
Will the one who plucks the rose be there for whatever happens?
Some days I'm needy, whole, enough
I want reciprocal love to witness
When I take the most beautiful flight of my life
Who'll call me love, sexy, dear?
Who'll wait for me at home, polish the rare jewel
Be the pseudofruit, the skin of the cashew
I wanna know if you'll run after me
In an airport
Asking me to stay, not to fly
For me to slow down a bit
That you'll paint a canvas of my naked body
Have you memorized how many tattoos I have?
If I care about cartoons, if I scribble my drawings
How many shows are on my calendar? My favorite album?
The weight of my heart
Where will the holidays be? How big's the demand?
In samba, I know it sambas, and what is it that makes you cry?
Do you know that, deep down, I'm scared
Of running alone and never reaching?
I fill myself with hope, with something new to happen
Will the one who plucks the rose be there for whatever happens?
Some days I'm needy, whole, enough
I want reciprocal love to witness
When I take the most beautiful flight of my life
Who'll call me love, sexy, dear?
Who'll wait for me at home, polish the rare jewel
Be the pseudofruit, the skin of the cashew

SONG MEANING

Caju feels like a late-night confessional at the airport gate, where Liniker wonders: “If I take off, will you chase me down?” The Brazilian singer turns everyday details—her tattoos, her doodles, her tour schedule—into tiny quiz questions for a potential lover. Each line tests how closely this person has paid attention, because true affection, for her, is shown in the small facts we carry about each other. Beneath the playful interrogation sits a real fear: flying solo forever and never quite “reaching.”

Yet hope pulses through the song. Liniker dreams of a partner who will cheer her biggest takeoff, polish her “rare jewel,” and become the sweet, protective skin around her—the “pseudofruit” of the cashew. By mixing vulnerability, samba swagger, and vivid Brazilian imagery, she invites listeners to think about their own relationships: Who knows your favorite record? Who would sprint after you at the gate? Caju is a soulful reminder that love is equal parts grand gesture and careful attention.
