Sirigaita
Lulu Santos Lyrics

The song "Sirigaita" by Lulu Santos is a declaration of love where the singer admits to giving everything they had to offer to the person they love. The first stanza sets the tone by declaring "Dei meu corpo e coração" (I gave my body and heart) followed by "Dei meu tempo e meu dinheiro" (I gave my time and my money). The singer is making a point that they spared no expense when it came to their love. The last line of the stanza "Por amor" (for love) is a constant reminder that everything that was done was for the sake of love.

The second stanza suggests that the singer has been through a lot with this person. The line "Fui bandido e fui mocinho/Teu amigo e inimigo" (I was a bandit and a good guy/Your friend and enemy) provides a sort of context for the events leading up to this moment. The singer makes it very clear that they were everything to this person, from a loyal companion to a playful pet, and they enjoyed every moment of it. The chorus of the song is a plea for the person to come back, "Vem veleira, vem navegar/Vem voando vem me voar/Sirigaita doidivana/Vem sonhar" (Come sailor, come sail/Come flying, come fly/Silly and playful/come dream).
