Baianá
Alok Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mais outra vez apresentar meu baianá
Eu vou cantar com muita alegria
Vou apresentar essas baiana da Maria
Give me time to get fire with the people
How you wanna be inside your mind, I wanna be so
I believe your fire and the people
When we're up, people go with emotion
When we're up, people go with emotion
Overload to the door with emotion
Overload to the door with emotion
You better know, hey
You better grow, hey
You better do what you came here to do
Who is you? Hey
We're with the crew, hey
My colors green, yellow, white, blue
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
Boa noite, povo, que eu cheguei
Mais outra vez apresentar meu baianá
Eu vou cantar com muita alegria
Vou apresentar essas baiana da Maria
Simply all if you think
You could fall in a brink, we are now on a chill
On a flight to Brazil
Realize that you get high with a five-dollar bill
And then I feel alive with the vibe when you chill
You could take a left, go straight or right
Better yet don't let that flex your mind
Other men say you're baked, you're fried
Don't take your time, it's a part-time game
Boa noite, povo, que eu cheguei
Mais outra vez apresentar meu baianá
Eu vou cantar com muita alegria
Vou apresentar essas baiana da Maria
My colors green, yellow, white, blue
The Portuguese lyrics at the start of the song "Boa noite, povo, que eu cheguei / Mais outra vez apresentar meu baianá" roughly translate to "Good evening, people, I have arrived / Once again presenting my 'Baianá'." The term "Baianá" is a reference to a dance style from the northeastern state of Bahia in Brazil, which is known for its Afro-Brazilian influences. The singer is announcing his intention to perform this style of music and dance with joy and energy.
The following verses mix English and Portuguese lyrics, with a focus on the idea that music and dancing create a powerful emotional connection between people. The lines "Give me time to get fire with the people / How you wanna be inside your mind, I wanna be so" suggest a desire to connect with the audience on a deep level. The words "I believe your fire and the people / I believe your desire to achieve so" could be interpreted as a motivational message to encourage people to pursue their dreams and passions.
The chorus repeats the opening Portuguese lyrics, followed by the statement "My colors green, yellow, white, blue," which may be a reference to the colors of the Brazilian flag. The song ends with another verse about the power of music and a reminder to embrace the moment and not worry about the future.

You'd better take a look at Naturalize's remix. It's terrific! And way better than the original one
Christian
on Don't Ya ft. Bea Jourdan - Original Mix
Tell me why you have to go
It may seem so hard to me
'Cause since you're not around babe
I can barely breathe
Tell me why you had to be
My greatest remedy
Maybe that's the reason why
I can't fall asleep
Damn show your loving hands
I miss your dirty pants
And now I've heard you beg
Are you ready to attack
You will regret, won't ya
You make me sick, won't ya
You let me down, won't ya
Do you love me now, don't ya
