Their mother agreed, and Cibelle moved around from instrument to instrument, trying their hand at the piano, percussion, and voice. As a teenager they were more interested in acting, appearing in commercials and promotional spots on MTV Brazil, but eventually realized that singing was their true passion and started performing at jam sessions around the city. It was at one of these sessions that they met Mitar Subotić (a then-unknown Yugoslavian DJ, Suba), who performed his version of synth-heavy samba for the crowd. Cibelle was intrigued by his interpretation of Brazilian music and, at a friend's urging, got up on-stage to sing with him. Suba was so impressed that he invited them to come to his home recording studio to work on an album, what would later become the seminal São Paulo Confessions. Though the producer died tragically shortly after the record's release, Cibelle continued on, appearing on guitarist and singer/songwriter Celso Fonseca's 2003 album, Natural, and releasing their own self-titled debut album on Six Degrees/Ziriguiboom. They followed up in 2004 with their EP About a Girl, and two years later Shine of Dried Electric Leaves, which featured duets with Seu Jorge and Devendra Banhart, came out.

Deixa o bater das asas e a correnteza

Um rabo de arraiar o mar
Vai sem demora
A nuvem desmaia

Deixa ser cor de azul de ser vocÃª
Deixa o tempo parar
Deixa ser cor de azul de ser vocÃª
Deixa o tempo passar

Deixar o bater das asas e a correnteza
Deixa

Deixa beijar o are na beira da praia

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Cibelle's song "Deixa" highlight the importance of letting go and allowing oneself to be present in the moment. The repetition of "deixa" (which translates to "leave" or "let") emphasizes the idea of surrendering control and allowing things to just be. The first stanza suggests letting go of the chaos and flow of life, represented by the flapping of wings and the current of a river. The second stanza invites us to relish in simple pleasures, like kissing the sand on the beach.

The third stanza takes us to the sea, painted vividly as the sun sets with imagery of the "tail of the ray" winding away as the "cloud faints." This exemplifies how life and nature continue on with or without our involvement, and it is important to let go of the need to control and just exist. The repetition of "deixa" serves as a reminder to be present and appreciate what is happening in the moment, without worrying about the past or future.

In the final stanza, Cibelle sings "Deixa ser cor de azul de ser você," which can be translated to "Let it be blue color of being you." This line represents the idea that we should let our true selves shine and be who we truly are without hiding or putting on a facade. The chorus brings us back to the main message of the song, encouraging us to let time pass and stop trying to control everything.

Overall, "Deixa" is a beautiful reminder to slow down, let go, and embrace the present moment.
