Durval Lelys, band leader, is the face of Asa de Águia. His irreverence made him a figure quite charismatic, knowing how to rock the public like no one else. Durval is an architect, graduated from UFBA, but he left the drawing board to devote himself to the art career. He is singer, guitarist and composes most of the hits of the group.
Leví Pereira is a very experienced bassist and vocalist, a musician of great personality, and is also a composer. He began his career at age 16, bringing all the knowledge of years of work with Armandinho and the whole family of unforgettable Osmar Macedo.
Leading the heartbeat rhythm of drums of Asa de Águia is Rady Santos. A known musician in Bahia and with a beat full of energy, he commands with strong hands the band marking. He began his career playing in dancing balls at the age 16 in Barrocas (BA), his home town. Besides drums, Rady is also a songwriter and sings in performances of Asa.
A Uruguayan player of keyboard, Ricardo Ferraro came to Brazil in January 1987 to visit the beaches of Bahia. He fell in love with the place and decided to stay in the land, where he met Durval Lelys who invited him to join the group. Currently, the musician is on solo career as DJ Rambo.
Ubajara Carvalho is the drummer of the band. He also came from the school of Dodô and Osmar, and he was invited by Durval and Levi to join Asa de Águia. Bajara is also a composer and has some successful partnerships with Luiz Caldas, Durval Lelys, Carlinhos Brown and David Sersan.
In the Carnival of Salvador, Asa leads the blocks CocoBambu and Me Abraça. In micaretas through the country, the band leads the block Cerveja & Coco, a partnership between Asa de Águia and Ivete Sangalo, since 2005.
In addition to the blocks, differentiated projects of shows such as Trivela, Mica Hall, Carna Hall, FeijoAsa, Cocobambu Folia, Asa Beach, ArraiAsa, Asa Country, Asa Beats and ASA 3D were also developed, adding more innovation to its performances. Always betting in a mix of rhythms, the band has gained increasingly differentiated publics and accumulating hits such as: Bota pra Ferver, Take it Easy, Qual É?, A Gente Pede Festa, Com Amor, Não Tem Lua, Oba Vou Passear, Cocobambu, Dia dos Namorados, Pra Lá de Bragadá, Xô Satanás, A Dança da Tartaruga, Manivela, Dança do Vampiro, Pit Bull, O Rei da Rua, Reino da Folia, Casamento Não, Salvador Dalino, Abalou, O Mago, Amor de Fé, Gênio da Lata, O Lobo, Gladiador, O Que Tem Que Ser Será, Simbora, Dia do Asa and Quebra Aê, which rendered six trophies as the best music in Carnival 2007 and was the most performed song in Carnival 2008 of Bahia.
Não Tem Lua
Asa De Águia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Não tem lua que faça você me amar
Não tem lua que faça você passar por mim
Não tem cheiro, nem flor
Nem perfume de amor
Não tem lua não, não tem lua
Menina do mar
Menina do mar eh!
Menina do mar
Menina do mar eh!
Tô louco de dengo pra te ver
Eu só quero um pouquinho te amar
Mas se a vida me leva no calor
Faço tudo se você me der amor
Menina do mar
Menina do mar
Menina me leva
Menina do mar
Menina do mar
Sou filho da terra ...refrão
Menina do mar... até ...sou filho da terra
Aê aô
Aê aê iá iá iá
Aê aô
Aê aê iá iá iá
The lyrics of Asa de Águia's song "Não Tem Lua" express the singer's frustration and disappointment in trying to gain the love and attention of someone who seems uninterested. The refrain repeats the idea that not even the moon can make this person love or notice the singer, emphasizing the hopelessness of the situation. The verses mention various romantic symbols such as smells, flowers, and perfumes, but they are all powerless in changing the subject's feelings. The second part of the song shifts to a plea from the singer to be with the object of their affection, expressing a desire to love them and do anything for their love. The repeated phrase "Menina do mar" could be interpreted as a term of endearment for this unattainable person, or perhaps a reference to a place or situation that separates them.
