Asa de Águia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Meu coração revirou o céu
Entre as nuvens quentes fiquei sozinho
Pensando em ti me joguei no mar
Vem me dar calor vem me dar amor
Tô aqui esperando você chegar
Quero me envolver nessa tua dança
E na lua mansa te namorar
E mexe, mexe mais, e mexe e mexe amor
Seguro nessa cintura eu vou
E mexe mais, e mexe e mexe amor
Lembranças que dão suadades
Nessa cidade porto seguro
Ainda me lembro de você
Ôôô
E mexe, mexe mais, e mexe, e mexe amor
Seguro nessa cintura eu vou
E mexe mais, e mexe e mexe amor
Lembranças que dão suadades
Nessa cidade porto seguro
O ouro, um anel de tesouro
Vem na pedra do mar, na pedra do mar
Na pedra do mar olha aê!
The lyrics of Asa De Águia’s song “Porto Seguro” are about a person who is lost in their thoughts, thinking about a loved one. The song begins slowly, describing how the person’s heart was turned around in the clouds while thinking of their love. They then throw themselves into the sea hoping for them to arrive. The romantic tone of the song intensifies as the singer begs for the loved one to come and give them warmth and love, to dance with them and spend time under the moonlight.
The chorus “E mexe, mexe mais” which means “Move, move more” in English, signifies the singer’s desire to dance with his love, and to hold them in their arms tightly. The location of the song, “Porto Seguro,” is a coastal city in Brazil and the lyrics make reference to its beautiful sea and its cultural heritage, such as the city’s gold history. The song’s tone is soft and romantic, perfect for a moment of intimacy or to dance with someone you love.

Foi devagarinho, bem de mansinho
My heart turned the sky upside down slowly and gently
Meu coração revirou o céu
I was left alone among the hot clouds thinking of you and I jumped into the sea
Entre as nuvens quentes fiquei sozinho
Pensando em ti me joguei no mar
Come give me warmth, come give me love, I am waiting for you to arrive
I want to get involved in your dance and court you under the gentle moon
Vem me dar calor vem me dar amor
Tô aqui esperando você chegar
Quero me envolver nessa tua dança
E na lua mansa te namorar
Move, move more, and move, move my love
Holding onto your waist securely
Move more, and move, move my love
Memories that bring nostalgia
In this city, Porto Seguro
I still remember you
Oh oh oh
Move, move more, and move, move my love
Holding onto your waist securely
Move more, and move, move my love
Memories that bring nostalgia
In this city, Porto Seguro
The gold, a treasure ring
Come in the stone of the sea, in the stone of the sea
Look at it in the stone of the sea!
E mexe, mexe mais, e mexe e mexe amor
Seguro nessa cintura eu vou
E mexe mais, e mexe e mexe amor
Lembranças que dão suadades
Nessa cidade porto seguro
Move, move more, and move, move my love
Holding onto your waist securely
Move more, and move, move my love
Memories that bring nostalgia
In this city, Porto Seguro
O ouro, um anel de tesouro
Vem na pedra do mar, na pedra do mar
Na pedra do mar olha aê!
The gold, a treasure ring
Come in the stone of the sea, in the stone of the sea
Look at it in the stone of the sea!
