E.T. - Katy Perry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ê que bela quitanda, quitandinha de Erê
Seu balancê tem quintadinha de Erê

É isso, é isso, é isso, vamo' assim
Que beleza, que beleza, que beleza Grande Rio

Ô, Zeca, tu 'tá morando ondé?
Saí com meu povo a te procurar
Botei minha cerva na encruzilhada
Pra moça da saia rodada e pro homê da capa

Cadê você?
É alvorada do seu padroeiro
Pra agradecer
Ao mensageiro de São Jorge Guerreiro
Tem patuá pra proteger
E tem mandinga no Velho Engenho
Quem tem um santo poderoso que é Ogum?
Eu tenho

Nas bandas do Irajá, gelada no botequim
Assim vou vadiar até no gurufim
Se tem patota, Ibeji e ajeum
Salve Cosme e Damião, Doum!

Ê que bela quitanda, quitandinha de Erê!
Seu balancê
Tem quitandinha de Erê!
Ê que bela quitanda, quitandinha de Erê!
Seu balancê
Tem quitandinha de Erê!

Passei procurando na feira
Em Del Castilho e na Tamarineira
E na gafieira, boêmios, malandros
Pelos sete lados eu vou te cercando

Jessé! Jessé! (Jessé! Jessé!)
Fiz um pagode pra Madrinha, salve ela!
Saudei a voz da Velha Guarda da Portela
E lá na roça vi florir um Carnaval (Zeca)

Zeca!
Levante o copo para o povo brasileiro
Te encontrei nesse terreiro
Xerém é o seu quintal!

Deixa a vida me levar
Onde o samba tem valor
Meu candiá
Encandeou!
Sou Grande Rio carregado de axé
Minha gira girou na fé!

Deixa a vida me levar
Onde o samba tem valor
Meu candiá
Encandeou!
Sou Grande Rio carregado de axé
Minha gira girou na fé, oh Zeca

Ô, Zeca, tu 'tá morando ondé? 'Tá morando ondé?
Saí com meu povo a te procurar
Botei minha cerva na encruzilhada
Pra moça da saia rodada e pro homê da capa

Cadê você?
É alvorada do seu padroeiro
Pra agradecer
Ao mensageiro de São Jorge Guerreiro
Tem patuá pra proteger (tem patuá pra proteger)
E tem mandinga no Velho Engenho
Quem tem um santo poderoso que é Ogum?
Eu tenho

Nas bandas do Irajá, gelada no botequim
Assim vou vadiar até no gurufim
Se tem patota, Ibeji e ajeum
Salve Cosme e Damião, Doum!

Ê que bela quitanda, quitandinha de Erê!
Seu balancê
Tem quitandinha de Erê!
Ê que bela quitanda, quitandinha de Erê!
Seu balancê

Overall Meaning

In "E.T.", Katy Perry sings about a love interest that she finds both hypnotizing and mysterious. She compares the person to an extraterrestrial being, with capabilities and qualities that are out of the ordinary. The lyrics suggest that the individual is not human and has different DNA than others, and that they hail from a different world or dimension. Despite this otherworldly nature, Perry is drawn to the person's touch, which feels magnetic and cosmic to her. She wants to be consumed by his love and taken away, much like a victim ready for abduction. In the end, she sees their love as being transcendental, on another level, and views the guy as being her lucky star.


Overall, the song is a metaphor for the power of love and the intense feelings that can arise in relationships. Perry uses imagery from science fiction to emphasize how all-consuming and foreign love feels when it first hits you. The song has an electro-pop sound and features powerful vocals from Perry, who delivers the lyrics with passion and conviction.
