Walkpeople
Lulu Santos Lyrics

The lyrics of Lulu Santos’s “Garota do Walkman” describe the singer’s fascination with a girl wearing a Walkman, a portable cassette player that was popular in the 1980s. He observes her as she walks back and forth, with her chin up in the air, lost in her music. The girl remains a mysterious figure to the singer, and he wonders what kind of music she listens to and if she might be heading to a concert on a Saturday night. He finds himself trying to come up with ideas to approach her and strike up a conversation.

Despite his attempts to figure her out, the singer realizes that the girl has deleted everything he thought he knew about himself in the same moment that she passed by him without even smiling. The song captures the feeling of the mystery and excitement of fleeting encounters with strangers, while also highlighting the ways in which these encounters can leave lasting impressions on us.

Overall, the song is a tribute to the power of music to spark connections between people, even when they don’t speak the same language or know each other’s stories. It also speaks to the idea that such connections can be both fleeting and profound, leaving us with memories that we carry with us long after the moment has passed.
