Da Cor Brasileira
Joyce Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

De quem falo me acha direita
Se casa comigo, se rola e se deita
Me namora quando não devia
E quando eu queria me deixa na mesa
De quem falo me fala macio
E finge que entende o que nem escutou
Me adora e me quer tão somente
Enquanto que mente é o que acreditou
Esse homem que passa na rua
Que encontro na festa e me vira a cabeça
É aquele que me quer só sua
E ao mesmo tempo que eu seja mais uma
De quem falo ele é feio e bonito
Mais velho e menino, meu melhor amigo




É o homem da cor brasileira
A loucura e a besteira que dorme comigo.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Joyce's song Da Cor Brasileira describe a complex and contradictory relationship with a man of Brazilian color who is variously praised and criticized. The singer is in love with this man and desires a deeper relationship, but he only wants her as one of many women in his life. He flirts with her when he shouldn't and ignores her when she wants attention. The singer also recognizes that this man is dishonest with her, and yet she still sleeps with him. The man is described as both handsome and ugly, young and old, and is referred to as the singer's best friend.


Overall, the lyrics suggest a complicated and emotionally charged relationship that is both pleasurable and painful. The singer is caught between her desire for this man and her acknowledgement of his flaws, a tension that is epitomized in the song's final line, which describes him as the "madness and foolishness that sleeps with me."


Line by Line Meaning

De quem falo me acha direita
The person I am talking about sees me as conservative


Se casa comigo, se rola e se deita
If we get married, we'll roll and lay together


Me namora quando não devia
He dates me when he shouldn't


E quando eu queria me deixa na mesa
And when I want him, he leaves me waiting


De quem falo me fala macio
The person I'm talking about talks to me softly


E finge que entende o que nem escutou
And pretends to understand what he didn't hear


Me adora e me quer tão somente
He loves and desires me solely


Enquanto que mente é o que acreditou
While he lies about what he believes


Esse homem que passa na rua
That man walking down the street


Que encontro na festa e me vira a cabeça
Whom I meet at parties and dazzles me


É aquele que me quer só sua
Is the one who wants me all to himself


E ao mesmo tempo que eu seja mais uma
And at the same time, he treats me like just another one


De quem falo ele é feio e bonito
The person I'm talking about is ugly and beautiful


Mais velho e menino, meu melhor amigo
Older and childish, my best friend


É o homem da cor brasileira
He is the man with the Brazilian color


A loucura e a besteira que dorme comigo.
The craziness and nonsense that sleeps with me.
