In the ever-evolving landscape of Brazilian music, certain performances and collaborations manage to capture the zeitgeist, leaving a lasting impact on both the artists’ careers and the audience’s hearts. One such noteworthy performance is the live rendition of “Não Vitalício (Nunca Mais)” by the popular Brazilian duo Matheus & Kauan, featuring Mari Fernandez. Recorded during the #Basiquinho2 tour, specifically in Fortaleza, this live version stands out for its emotional depth and the synergy between the artists.
The Artists: Matheus & Kauan and Mari Fernandez
Matheus & Kauan, hailing from Goiás, Brazil, are renowned for their contributions to the sertanejo genre—a style deeply rooted in Brazilian rural music but with modern influences. The duo, comprising brothers Matheus and Kauan, has carved out a niche with their heartfelt lyrics and melodic tunes. Their music often explores themes of love, heartbreak, and personal growth, resonating with a broad audience across Brazil.
Mari Fernandez, on the other hand, represents a newer generation of Brazilian artists with a distinctive style that blends sertanejo with contemporary pop and folk elements. Her vocal prowess and emotive delivery have made her a rising star in the Brazilian music scene, and her collaboration with established artists like Matheus & Kauan has only amplified her reach and influence.
The Song: “Não Vitalício (Nunca Mais)”
“Não Vitalício (Nunca Mais)” is a track that exemplifies the emotional complexity often found in sertanejo music. The title translates to “Not Lifelong (Never Again),” suggesting themes of impermanence and the end of a significant relationship. This song delves into the pain of realizing that something once considered permanent or everlasting is, in fact, transient and destined to end.
Lyrically, the song is a poignant exploration of love and loss. The narrative voice expresses a sense of finality and resignation, grappling with the acceptance that a once-cherished relationship is no longer sustainable. The verses convey a powerful sense of nostalgia and melancholy, while the chorus delivers an anthemic yet bittersweet reflection on moving forward despite the lingering echoes of what once was.

LETRA
(Renno Poeta / Marcos Steves)
Eu tenho raiva de você
Porque cê beija bem demais
Na cama cê tem o poder
De tirar minha paz
Mas dessa vez prometo que é pra sempre
Você não vai entrar na minha mente
Esse meu não agora é vitalício
Mas é sempre isso
Juro que eu não volto nunca mais
Olha eu beijando na boca do nunca mais
Olha eu tirando a roupa do nunca mais
Juro que eu nao corro mais atrás
Olha eu correndo pra casa do nunca mais
Olha eu me acabando na cama do nunca mais
