While still a teenager, she started performing in local bars. Wishing to become a professional singer, she moved to Rio de Janeiro, leaving her studies in literature. After a gig at Mistura Fina she met Luciana de Moraes and two weeks later signed a contract with BMG.
Her debut album, Ana Carolina, was released in 1999 with songs from classic Brazillian singers like Chico Buarque and Lulu Santos, songs written by herself, and some written by others, for example, Totonho Villeroy. This album was nominated for a Latin Grammy Award.
In 2001 she realesed her second album entitled Ana Rita Joana Iracema e Carolina. In 2005 released a CD and DVD of her acoustic show with Seu Jorge entitled Ana e Jorge. The song "É Isso Ai" reached number 1 on the Brazilian charts. In late 2005, she announced that she was a bisexual. She has since released her sixth, a double CD called Dois Quartos (Two Rooms). The album received a Parental Advisory warning.
Tudo bem
Ana Carolina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
De quantos barrancos despenquei
E quantas pedras me atiraram
E quantas atirei
Tanta farpa, tanta mentira
Tanta falta do que dizer
Nem sempre é so easy se viver
Hoje não consigo mais me lembrar
E quanto rastro de incompreensão
Eu já deixei
Tantos bons, quantos maus motivos
Tantas vezes desilusão
Quase nunca a vida é um balão
Mas o teu amor me cura
De uma loucura qualquer
Encostar no teu peito
E se isso for algum defeito por mim
Tudo bem
The lyrics to Ana Carolina's song "Tudo bem" speak to the struggles and hardships that one experiences in life. The opening line, "Já não tenho dedos pra contar" ("I no longer have fingers to count"), suggests that the singer has experienced numerous setbacks and difficulties in their life. They have fallen from many cliffs and been hit by many stones, both figuratively and perhaps even literally. The next line, "E quantas pedras me atiraram / E quantas atirei" ("And how many stones were thrown at me / And how many did I throw"), implies that the singer has not only experienced hardships, but has also been responsible for causing pain to others.
The lyrics also touch on the themes of lies, misunderstandings, disillusionment, and the difficulties of life. The singer has encountered many lies and misunderstandings, which have left them with nothing to say. Life is not always easy, and the singer has been disillusioned many times. Despite these struggles, the singer finds solace in the love that they receive from another person. The line "Mas o teu amor me cura / De uma loucura qualquer / Encostar no teu peito / E se isso for algum defeito por mim / Tudo bem" ("But your love heals me / From any craziness / To rest on your chest / And if that's a flaw on my part / It's all right") suggests that the singer finds comfort in the love of another, even if it may not be seen as conventional or accepted by others.
