Her style is considered axé but her music also steers into samba and MPB territory, also drawing on African rhythms and reggae at times. Menezes is best known in Brazil for her song "Me Abraça e Me Beija", a major hit in 1990. She also scored another hit with "Dandalunda", a song which became the unofficial anthem of the 2003 Salvador carnival.

Something Worth Leaving Behind
Talk To Me Talk To Me
(David Grissom/Kevin Hunter)
If your heart is willing, then your head can rest
Start at the beginning, lay it down on my chest
If your soul is living, do your best
Chorus: If you can tell me what you're thinking
Find the words for how you feel
Understanding is forgiving
I can give you what you need
Darling, talk to me
As I sit here breathing, as I watch you undress
As your shoulder catches the sun in the west
As you cry so softly, put your fears to rest
Forgive yourself, let your tears steal your breath
(Repeat Chorus twice)
Talk to me
Talk to me
In the Margareth Menezes hit song "Me Abraça e Me Beija", the lyrics in the bridge "Talk to Me Talk to Me" shares a common theme with Womack Lee Ann's song "Something Worth Leaving Behind". The latter is about being open and honest with your feelings and communicating them effectively to your partner. The lyrics suggest that if you're willing to put your heart on the line, your mind can rest easy. The singer asks their partner to start at the beginning, to lay down their worries on their chest. They promise to listen and support their partner, allowing them to let go of their fears and embrace vulnerability.
The chorus reiterates the importance of communicating one's thoughts and feelings, expressing that understanding leads to forgiveness. It's about being there for your partner and meeting their emotional needs, even when it's difficult. The singer acknowledges that they can provide what their partner needs, but they require communication to do so. This is a crucial aspect of any healthy relationship, the ability to talk openly and listen with compassion.
Overall, the song is a reminder that communication and vulnerability are key components of a strong and healthy relationship. It is necessary to let go of fear, trust our partner with our emotions, and let them in to support and care for us.
