Rapte-me Camaleoa
Caetano Veloso & Maria Gadú Lyrics

"Rapte-me Camaleoa" is a song by Caetano Veloso and Maria Gadú that talks about love and unpredictability, comparing the person being loved to a chameleon, a reptile known for changing its skin color to mimic its surroundings. The lyrics begin with the request to the person, the chameleon, to take the singer away, to something good and comfortable, where they can be themselves while still staying connected to the world. The lyricist then asks the chameleon to capture a meaningless message, perhaps an indication of the need for a break from the mundane and a yearning for something exotic, non-sensical, and special. The song's title alludes to the idea of the chameleon "kidnapping" or "abducting" the singer, taking them into a new life where there are endless possibilities to explore, a place that is as diverse and changeable as the chameleon.

The second verse presents a series of wordplays that explore the emotions that are at the heart of a chameleon-like love. The singer comments on the perfect beds, but instead of talking about a place to sleep, he is talking about the perfect place in someone's arms. The image of peitos direitos (straight breasts) that look at him evokes a sense of acceptance and admiration. The lyrics move on from the perfect bed setup to the singer, a "fine boy" who leans to the side of "yes." The song's meaning is still in reference to the chameleon's colors that simulate the background, as the boy mimics the chameleon's flexibility and is willing to change his direction. The chameleon is in control, but it is also up to the singer's heart to be whatever the chameleon wants.
