As a teenager, Sangalo started to sing and play acoustic guitar at events, festivals and presentations of the school where she studied. Her debut show happened in the Ondina Neighborhood, Salvador, in August 1992. With that show she won the Dorival Caymmi trophy, the Grammy of Bahian music.
In 1993, Sony decided to reform the axé group Banda Eva and she was chosen as the lead singer. With her charismatic image, their first album soon topped the Brazilian album chart. Her live album with the band, Banda Eva Ao Vivo, was their best-selling album, selling over a million copies in 1997. In 1999, she decided to start a solo career and released her first self-titled album. With lots of upbeat Bahian rhythms and axé, the album received gold and platinum certification. The following year she released another album, Beat Beleza, which also achieved platinum status.
In 2001 she released the album Festa. The title teack was very popular and the album got platinum certification. "Festa" was her biggest hit single up to that point and the video also received huge airplay. "Festa" ended up being the most popular song of 2001 in Brazil. In 2002, she released the compilation album Se Eu Não Te Amasse Tanto Assim, titled after one of her biggest number-one hits. The album, which features a duet with American singer Brian McKnight, didn't sell as much , but was still a hit. Following Se Eu Não Te Amasse Tanto Assim, she released Clube Carnavalesco Inocentes Em Progresso in 2003. It was the lowest-selling solo album of her career but it still managed to receive gold certification.
Her first solo live album MTV Ao Vivo Ivete Sangalo released in 2004, included her biggest hits, lots of them never released on an album before, and some Banda Eva hits. The album received diamond certification and was the second best-selling album of 2004.
Her 2005 album, As Supernovas, received triple platinum certification shortly after it's release. The album was less upbeat than the others and included some songs with a 70's touch, with the big influence of Brazilian singer Ed Motta. She also included the hit "Soy Loco Por Ti America", a Gilberto Gil song. "Quando a Chuva Passar" recently reached number two on the Brazilian singles chart and was notable for being nominated at the Latin Grammy Awards, an uncommon feature for a non-Spanish speaking singer.
On December 16, 2006, she performed in the biggest stadium in the world, Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro, where Paul McCartney, Rolling Stones, Kiss, The Police, and Madonna have also performed. She was the first Brazilian act to perform in this stadium since pop phenomenon Sandy & Junior in 2002.
Ivete has sold more than 7 million CD copies and more than 2.5 million DVD copies.
Teus Olhos
Ivete Sangalo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Todos os encantos
Teus olhos abrem pra mim
Teus olhos abrem pra mim
Todos os encantos bons
Tudo que se quer vai lá
Você chegando assim
Assim, de um jeito tão sereno
Ai, ai, meu Deus do céu
Eu vivo sem pensar
Se sou só
Acho que não vou mais
Agora tudo tanto faz,
meu bem
Eu vi você passar
levando meu encanto
Caminho sem saber de mim
Eu vivo sem pensar
Se sou só
Ou sou mar
Mas eu conto com você
Pois enquanto eu não me resolver
Eu vou lá, eu vou lá
Mas enquanto eu não me resolver
Eu vou lá, eu vou lá
The lyrics to "Teus Olhos" are about someone who is drawn to another person because of their eyes. The singer describes how their "eyes open up" to them and reveal all of their "enchantments." They also talk about seeing this person arrive on Earth in a calm, serene way. The singer then expresses some confusion about their own feelings, saying that they "live without thinking" and are not sure if they are alone or part of the bigger universe. They express a desire to rely on this other person, at least until they can figure out their own feelings and identity.
The lyrics suggest a deep connection between the two people, with the singer unable to resist the pull of the other person's gaze. They also hint at a sense of searching or uncertainty in the singer's own life, with the other person bringing some sense of clarity and meaning. The use of the phrase "meu bem" (my dear) throughout the song suggests a strong emotional bond between the two people.
One interesting aspect of this song is the collaboration between Ivete Sangalo and Marcelo Camelo. Sangalo is a hugely popular Brazilian singer known for her energetic live performances, while Camelo is best known as the lead singer of the band Los Hermanos. Their musical styles are quite different, but they are able to harmonize beautifully on "Teus Olhos."
Another interesting aspect of the song is the use of the Portuguese language, which adds a sense of exoticism and romance to the lyrics even for those who don't speak the language. The way that the words are sung in the song adds to the sensuality of the lyrics.

Nada mais mágico do que os olhos
de quem amamos.
Olhos que revelam segredos
guardados a sete chaves em nosso coração.
Olhos que acordam as poesias
escondidas em nosso silêncio.
Olhos que nos fazem viajar as estrelas
sem tirar os pés do chão.
Olhos sagrados
que nos fazem ter vontade de viver
e viver e viver e viver,
todo dia uma história de amor
com a mesma pessoa,
que nos conhece completamente
e ainda assim nos ama,
e permanece ao nosso lado
independente do tempo,
escrevendo a história fiel
iluminada pelos olhos inspiradores,
de quem amamos tão completamente...
