She is specialized in recording covers, such as Madonna, No Doubt, Oasis, U2, Sixpence none the Richer and Goo Goo Dolls.

With her appealing voice, she caught attention of the public around 2003, right after the debut of her first album, “Rock ‘N’ Road”, which sold over 80,000 copies; a sequel came a little after the first, “Rock ‘N’ Road Again”. Both albums are covers of great hits of international pop-rock music. Danni does all the job of rearranging tracks with Rick Ferreira and Rogério Lucas, resulting in a spiced up Don’t Speak (No Doubt), filled with sensual, Caribbean timbers, and a With or Without You (U2) set in a very feminine universe.

Kiss
Danni Carlos Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There used to be a graying tower alone on the sea
You, became the light on the dark side of me
Love remains, a drug that's the high and not the pill
But did you know that when it snows
My eyes become larger
And the light that you shine can't be seen?

Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray

Ooh, the more I get of you, the stranger it feels yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the gray

There is so much a man can tell you
So much he can say
You remain my power, my pleasure, my pain
Baby, To me, you're like a growing
Addiction that I can't deny
Won't you tell me, is that healthy, baby?
But did you know that when it snows
My eyes become large
And the light that you shine can't be seen?

Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray
Ooh, the more I get of you, the stranger it feels yeah

Now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the gray

I've been kissed by a rose on the gray
I've been kissed by a rose on the gray
And if I should fall, will it all go away?

There is so much a man can tell you
So much he can say
You remain my power, my pleasure, my pain
Baby, To me, you're like a growing
Addiction that I can't deny
Won't you tell me, is that healthy, baby?
But did you know that when it snows
My eyes become larger
And the light that you shine can't be seen?

Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray
Ooh, the more I get of you, the stranger it feels yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the gray

Now that your rose is in bloom

a light hits the gloom
on the gray
