Then Aldina was invited to sing nightly in a Fado venue; it was as if she had passed a tough entrance exam into a Fado school. She respected and maintained the rituals she had always found distinctive and beautiful about Fado: a black shawl, a black dress, silence, diffuse lighting. Everything she had ever loved about Fado. Her success led to invitations to sing in other Fado venues, to guest in concerts. One day she was invited to sing abroad, in the Piccolo Teatro of Milan; to sing Fado in a play about poet Fernando Pessoa, written by novelist and essayist Antonio Tabucchi and directed by lead actor Giancarlo Dettori, director Lamberto Puggelli and the Master, Giorgio Strehler. The experience helped shape what was to become her attitude towards Fado, leading her to be more careful about what she sang, and how she sang it. Besides singing professionally at the Senhor Vinho venue, Aldina has worked in the the Portuguese Cinemathèque - Cinema Museum and is currently a researcher at EMI Music Portugal where she is organizing the company's immense archives of Portuguese music - much of which is made up of Fado recordings. Beginning 2004, Aldina Duarte released her debut album “Apenas o Amor”. Since then she has been performing concerts in Portugal, Spain, France, Morocco, Italy, Belgium, Austria and The Netherlands. “Apenas o Amor” since its release has been referred as one of the best albums of 2004 by the Portuguese press. Her second cd "Crua" was released in January of 2006.The album was produced by João Monge who was also responsible for writing the lyrics... And now, 2008, the third album "Mulheres ao Espelho"...

Aldina Duarte Lyrics

Quando nós junta o bagui fica quente
Nem percebi já tô envolvidão
Mas minha batida é bem lenta
Diferente do teu coração
Ai o bagui entra em cena
Nós vai pro fight lá no meu colchão
Fica de 4 chacoalhando a raba
Ontem a noite tu veio aqui em casa
Sem perceber viramo a madrugada
Disse que curtiu a minha pegada
Tu já sabia que eu era o cara
Primeira vez fico apaixonada
Mas te avisei que era só pente e rala
Então não se apega em mim
Te avisei que o bagui era assim
Nao quis te fazer sofrer
Nao foi intenção te iludir
Nem preciso dizer
Ninguém prende esse neguim
Gata minha vida é cheia de problema, mas teu sorriso é minha solução
Quando nós junta o bagui fica quente
Nem percebi já tô envolvidão
Mas minha batida é bem lenta
Diferente do teu coração
Ai o bagui entra em cena
Nós vai pro fight lá no meu colchão
Na madrugada ela fica safada
Vem pra minha cama quer ficar pelada
Nosso romance né fogo palha
E logo mais vamo morar na praia
Só espera essa porra vingar
Só espera minha gangue crescer
Que nós vamo pra beira do mar
Sentar na areia e ver o amanhecer
E nossa história começou assim
Eu tava distante tu colou em mim
E tu veio logo me chamar de amor
Difícil entender porque tudo acabou
Talvez tenha sido a porra do ciúme
Talvez tenha sido essa minha vida louca
Gosto de tu bem pertinho de mim
Gosto de ver você tirando a roupa
Meu sentimento ta aqui nesse beat
E se Deus quiser essa'qui vira hit
Em você eu não vi verdade
Tudo em você era só falsidade
E até hoje eu sinto saudade
Nunca conheci o amor de verdade
The lyrics of Aldina Duarte's song "Ela" portray a complex and tumultuous relationship between two individuals. The singer describes their life as full of problems, but finds solace and happiness in the smile of their partner. The mention of the partner's smile being the singer's solution suggests that their relationship brings a sense of joy and comfort amidst life's challenges.
As the lyrics progress, the singer reflects on the intensity of their connection with their partner. The mention of the "bagui" (slang for situation or scenario) becoming intense and passionate when they are together indicates a deep and passionate bond between them. Despite the singer's slow-paced rhythm contrasting with the partner's fast-paced heart, they are drawn to each other and engage in a passionate encounter in the singer's bedroom.
The narrative takes a more explicit turn as the singer describes intimate moments with their partner, emphasizing physical desire and passion. The lyrics depict a night of passion that turns into a morning filled with longing and memories of their time together. However, the singer also acknowledges that their initial warning about keeping things casual was not heeded by their partner, leading to conflicting emotions and a sense of detachment.
Towards the end of the song, the singer reflects on the evolution of their relationship, from initial attraction to eventual disillusionment. The mention of jealousy and the chaos of their wild lifestyle hint at insecurities and challenges that may have contributed to the breakdown of the relationship. Despite still feeling a sense of longing and reminiscing about their time together, the singer grapples with the realization that the love they experienced may not have been genuine.
Overall, "Ela" delves into themes of passion, desire, disillusionment, and the complexities of romantic relationships. The lyrics capture the rollercoaster of emotions experienced in a tumultuous love affair, highlighting moments of intimacy, intensity, and ultimately, the bittersweet realization that not all relationships are built on true love and lasting connection.

Gata minha vida é cheia de problema mas teu sorriso é minha solução
Despite my life being full of problems, your smile is my solution
Quando nós junta o bagui fica quente
When we come together, things get heated
Nem percebi já tô envolvidão
I didn't even notice I was already deeply involved
Mas minha batida é bem lenta
But my rhythm is quite slow
Diferente do teu coração
Different from your heart
Ai o bagui entra em cena
Then the situation comes into play
Nós vai pro fight lá no meu colchão
We'll have a good time in my bed
E no meu quarto tu fica safada
And in my room, you get naughty
Fica de 4 chacoalhando a raba
Bend over, shaking your booty
Ontem a noite tu veio aqui em casa
Last night you came to my place
Sem perceber viramo a madrugada
Without realizing, we stayed up until dawn
Disse que curtiu a minha pegada
You said you liked my style
Tu já sabia que eu era o cara
You already knew I was the man
Primeira vez fico apaixonada
First time you got all lovey-dovey
Mas te avisei que era só pente e rala
But I warned you it was just a fling
Então não se apega em mim
So, don't get attached to me
Te avisei que o bagui era assim
I told you things were like this
Nao quis te fazer sofrer
I didn't want to make you suffer
Nao foi intenção te iludir
It wasn't my intention to deceive you
Nem preciso dizer
I don't even need to say
Ninguém prende esse neguim
No one can hold this guy down
Na madrugada ela fica safada
In the wee hours, she gets naughty
Vem pra minha cama quer ficar pelada
Comes to my bed wanting to get naked
Nosso romance né fogo palha
Our romance is like a flash in the pan
E logo mais vamo morar na praia
And soon we'll move to the beach
Só espera essa porra vingar
Just wait for this to succeed
Só espera minha gangue crescer
Just wait for my crew to grow
Que nós vamo pra beira do mar
So we can go to the seashore
Sentar na areia e ver o amanhecer
Sit on the sand and watch the sunrise
E nossa história começou assim
And that's how our story began
Eu tava distante tu colou em mim
I was distant, but you stuck to me
E tu veio logo me chamar de amor
And you soon called me love
Difícil entender porque tudo acabou
Hard to understand why it all ended
Talvez tenha sido a porra do ciúme
Maybe it was damn jealousy
Talvez tenha sido essa minha vida louca
Maybe it was my crazy life
Gosto de tu bem pertinho de mim
I like you close to me
Gosto de ver você tirando a roupa
I like seeing you undress
Meu sentimento ta aqui nesse beat
My feelings are in this beat
E se Deus quiser essa'qui vira hit
And if God wills, this will be a hit
Em você eu não vi verdade
In you, I didn't see truth
Tudo em você era só falsidade
Everything about you was just falsehood
E até hoje eu sinto saudade
And even today I miss you
Nunca conheci o amor de verdade
I never truly knew love
