2). Gaia is an alias of dutch trance producer Armin van Buuren. It was first used back in 2000 for an uplifting trance track produced for the 4 Elements festival in Holland, also titled 4 Elements. He abandoned the majority of his aliases soon after and focused on producing under his own name. However, in 2009 he resurrected the Gaia alias with Tuvan, a track produced with Benno de Goeij from Rank 1 exclusively for his A State of Trance 2009 compilation that had many parallels with his classic work. In 2010 he continued the tradition by producing Aisha for the A State of Trance 2010 compilation, also featuring heavily in the 450th episode of his radioshow.

4). If you scrobble under the Korean band Gaia ,correct your tags to 가이아 instead. Their official website lists them under the alias in Hangul. http://www.gaia.co.kr/

6). Gaia are based in South Yorkshire and were formed in 1996 after Dave and Iains first band "Strawberry Hill" split up in the early 95. In 2002 John Westy and Dave got together and have been the cornerstones of the band. Steve G joined in 2008 after the departure of long time serving drummer Steve Booth and the band are back on fire with a new album, "Sun into gold"due out in 2010 after four years since their first album attempt namely "Soulwind". This next attempt is simply more than before and has been a pleasure to create. Gaia will be gigging regularly over the next year promoting and selling what will be the bands best work so far.

Bela Flor
Gaia Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Acordei na lua cheia
Acordei com os pés no mar
Filha desta amazônia
Filha do cheiro de sal

E fui sempre eu que matei a saudade do colo de avó
Que eu cantei a bossa nova só
Me perdi nas lembranças para Iemanjá

Me perdi pra poder me achar

Ai, eu já fui cigana, cidadã do ar
Eu já beijei na boca antes do sol se apagar

Hey, hey, hey

Bom dia bela flor
Bom dia bela flor
Bom dia bela flor
Bom dia bela flor

Bom dia bela flor
Bom dia bela flor
Bom dia bela flor
Bom dia bela flor

Acordei na neve branca
Acordei com o Berry White
Acordei com cappuccino
Minha Itália, minhas good vibes

Ai, eu já fui cigana, cidadã do ar
já beijei na boca antes do sol se apagar

Sangue misto, não repartido, vivo
sou um mulata branca sem querer
Sangue misto, não repartido, vivo
Eu sou um mulata branca bom dia

Bom dia bela flor
Bom dia bela flor
Bom dia bela flor
Bom dia bela flor

Bom dia bela flor
Bom dia bela flor
Bom dia bela flor
Bom dia bela flor

E quando eu acordei, minha vida
Achou o meu lugar
E quando eu encontrei uma saída
Eu não queria mas voltar

E quando agradeço ao céu por essas terras
Quem moram em mim
O fruto eterno desse amor que vive em um pai e mãe

Hey, hey, hey

Bom dia bela flor
Bom dia bela flor
Bom dia bela flor
Bom dia bela flor

Bom dia bela flor
Bom dia bela flor

Bom dia bela flor
Bom dia bela flor

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Gaia's song "Bela Flor" capture a sense of awakening and self-discovery. The singer describes waking up under the full moon, with their feet in the sea, and identifies themselves as a child of the Amazon and the scent of salt. They reminisce about longing for their grandmother's embrace, singing bossa nova, and losing themselves in memories for Iemanjá (the Afro-Brazilian goddess associated with the sea) in order to find themselves.

The chorus "Bom dia bela flor" translates to "Good morning beautiful flower," which can be interpreted as a way of greeting oneself with positivity and self-affirmation each day. The lyrics then shift to waking up in the snow, with the presence of Berry White and cappuccino, evoking a sense of new experiences and influences from Italy. The singer reflects on being a free-spirited traveler and having romantic encounters before the sun sets.

The lyrics also touch upon the singer's mixed heritage, describing themselves as a "mulata branca" (white mulatta) - a term used to describe someone who is of mixed black and white heritage in Brazil. The song celebrates this diverse heritage and the singer's connection to both their African and European roots.

The final verse expresses gratitude for finding their place in life and not wanting to go back once they have found an escape. The singer acknowledges their appreciation for the land and the eternal love that exists within their parents.

Overall, "Bela Flor" is a song that explores themes of self-identity, nostalgia, wanderlust, and embracing one's mixed heritage.
