Brincar de Vida
Dani Russo Lyrics

The lyrics of Dani Russo’s song Brincar de Vida are conveying a message of self-confidence and self-love in the face of envy and criticism. The persona of the song asserts her own worth and shines so brightly that she dims the light of others. She apologizes for nothing, knowing that she is doing nothing wrong. In fact, she asserts that she is “bem legal” or very good in spite of the envy of others. When confronted, she simply responds with a cool, collected attitude, explaining that she doesn’t value their opinions. The persona is not hostile, but she is also not willing to compromise her own sense of self-worth for the sake of others’ friendships or approval.

The chorus of the song shifts to a celebratory tone, as the persona raises a glass to “inimigas” or enemies and waving them off as she enjoys her own life. The persona is suggesting that everyone should mind their own business and enjoy their own lives, rather than trying to bring others down. This idea is encapsulated in the phrase “a gente brinca de vida, cada um cuida da sua” or “we play at life, everyone takes care of themselves”. The song is an anthem of self-love and respect, encouraging people to focus on themselves and ignore the negativity of others.
