Ele quer dedicar-te uma marmelada


Explanation:
No conozco este tipo de canción, pero la palabra vino del portugués, como indica el DRAE:

mermelada.
(Del port. marmelada).
1. f. Conserva de membrillos o de otras frutas, con miel o azúcar.

Si viniera precedido de "brava" (brava mermelada), el sentido cambiaría:

brava ~.
1. expr. coloq. p. us. U. para tachar de despropósito algo mal hecho o mal dicho.
