Maria Gadú Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ela entra divina beleza em meu coração
Canta, canta
Ela veste uma túnica cor de lugares sagrados
E segreda em silêncio cansaço pra mais solidão
E canta, canta, canta
Penso nela como um raio de emoção
Paralela a toda feminilidade
E ela canta, canta, canta
As paredes do quarto se abrem prum céu de Pandora
Ela entra divina beleza em meu coração
E canta, canta, canta, canta
Ela veste uma túnica cor de lugares sagrados
E segreda em silêncio cansaço pra mais solidão
E canta, canta
Eu não vejo mais meus músculos de ferro
Penso nela como um raio de emoção
Paralela a toda feminilidade
Ela canta, canta, canta
In Maria Gadú's song "Ela," the lyrics describe a woman who enters the singer's heart with divine beauty. The walls of the room open up to reveal a sky reminiscent of Pandora, the mythical planet in the movie Avatar. The woman wears a tunic that represents sacred places and whispers her weariness and loneliness in silence. Despite this, she continues to sing, expressing her emotions and captivating the singer. The song emphasizes the woman's femininity and her ability to evoke strong emotions, to the point where the singer no longer sees their own strong muscles but instead perceives the woman as a powerful force of emotion. The repetition of the phrase "e canta, canta, canta" highlights the woman's continuous singing and perhaps her ability to bring joy and beauty into the singer's life.
