Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Vi outro dia julieta cheira ancas lá pra ceta tudo joia beleza pura
Com uma sura da minha terra e eu do alto la da janela naõ podia com
O jeito dela que ela mi chia e ti chia e eu fingia que dava pra ela
é mesmo dela eu gosto dela holee é mesmo dela eu gosto dela.
Mas foi de mais naõ aguentei batí um papo e nao mi controlei
So que desta vez deu tudo errado porque o namorado estava de lado
Aham quém ti mandou aham agora
A marrabenta esta na moda e arrebenta com a malta toda niguém segura
A marrabenta deixa de fazer historia e vêm pra roda,
A marrabenta esta a moda e arrenbenta com a malta toda niguém segura
Que amarrabenta e deixa de hostoria e vêm pra roda
, Humm cata cata ka humm olha julieta como ela mexe
The song "Julieta" by Stewart Sukuma is about a man who is infatuated with a woman named Julieta, whom he sees one day with her friends. He is enamored by her beauty and the way she moves (reflected in the chorus, "é mesmo dela eu gosto dela"). However, when he tries to talk to her, he discovers that she has a boyfriend. The man is caught off guard and becomes frustrated and upset, telling himself to "aguenta" (hold on, endure) and face the consequences of his actions. The song also references the marrabenta, a popular dance style from Mozambique, encouraging people to join in the fun and experience the music for themselves.
The lyrics are full of emotion and show the inner turmoil of the singer. He is almost powerless against his attraction to Julieta and acts impulsively even though he knows he shouldn't. The line "eu fingia que dava pra ela" (I pretended that I could give her what she wanted) shows how he tries to put on a façade of confidence when really he is unsure of himself. Furthermore, the line "A marrabenta esta na moda e arrebenta com a malta toda ninguém segura" (the marrabenta is in fashion and it breaks the group, no one can stop it) reflects the energy and enthusiasm associated with the dance style, and shows how music has the power to unite and uplift people.
