Segunda Pele
Roberta Sá Lyrics

The song "Segunda Pele" by Brazilian artist Roberta Sá is a sensual and intimate ode to the power of physical and emotional connection with a loved one. The song explores the idea of a romantic relationship being like a second skin or protective layer, providing warmth, comfort, and safety. In the opening lines, the singer invites her lover over for the night, but despite the attention from other women, they are drawn together in a powerful bond.

The lyrics use a number of interesting metaphors and images to convey the theme of intimacy and closeness. For example, the line "Quando ele vem, faço dele minha luva, meu collant" ("When he comes, I make him my glove, my leotard") describes the way in which the singer feels completely enveloped and protected by her partner, much like a glove or leotard would snugly fit the body. The idea of the lover being a second skin is reinforced later in the song, with the repeated refrain "A minha segunda pele, o meu cobertor de lã" ("My second skin, my woolen blanket").

Throughout the song, there are also references to physical touch and sensation, such as the line "Sou eu na sua pele, que afago com afã" ("It's me on your skin, which I stroke with care"), emphasizing the sensual and erotic nature of the relationship. However, there is also a deeper emotional connection present, with the line "O meu cobertor de lã" suggesting that this bond provides not just physical warmth, but also emotional comfort and solace.
