Terra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Moro num cantinho pequenino do universo
feito de areia de montanha e mar aberto
perto de um riacho onde canta o ben-te-vi

Os meus irmãozinhos são também pequenininhos
são da cor da terra, brancos, negros, marronzinhos
todos tão morenos como a cor do açaí
Risca uma estrela, toda apaixonada
pela nossa terra, tão iluminada
riso de uma lua
brilho de um mar azul

Terra, minha linda Terra
vejo da janela arredondada quão mais bela
Terra leva-me pra passear

Terra, minha linda Terra
Quando cai a chuva cada gota te perfuma
Terra quero tanto te abraçar

Moro num cantinho pequenino do universo
feito de areia de montanha e mar aberto
perto de um riacho onde canta o ben-te-vi

Os meus irmãozinhos são também pequenininhos
são da cor da terra, brancos, negros, marronzinhos
todos tão morenos como a cor do açaí

Risca uma estrela, toda apaixonada
pela nossa terra, tão iluminada
riso de uma lua
brilho de um mar azul

Terra, minha linda Terra
vejo da janela arredondada quão mais bela
Terra leva-me pra passear

Terra, minha linda Terra
Quando cai a chuva cada gota te perfuma
Terra quero tanto te abraçar
Terra quero tanto te abraçar
Terra quero tanto te abraçar





Moro num cantinho pequenino do universo

Overall Meaning

The song begins with the singer describing her small corner of the universe, made of sand from mountain and open sea near a creek where she can hear the melody of a bird. The second stanza speaks of her siblings, who, like her, are small and of the earthy colors of the land, including white, black, and brown. They all blend together like the color of acai, a fruit native to Brazil.


The chorus of the song repeats the word "terra," which means "earth" in Portuguese. The singer admires the planet through a window and sees how beautiful it is. She longs to go out and explore it, to be close to it and embrace it. The third stanza talks about how everything in nature shines with passion for the earth, including stars, moon, and the blue sea.

@mac_c

I recently danced to this song when playing DDR at Round 1. Such a fun and energetic song!

@Space_Cadet_

Anyone else like this version better than the official song? They're not very different but it's just enough

@SchoolRumbleX

This is an official version too, lol. I assume you’re talking about the long version. I like both versions, but I agree, this one is a bit better.

@KedaiNasi

Album version vs game soundtrack version. I like both but more leaning to the album version as it's much more richer

@mrmillsart

if the original was the album version, then this is the radio edit lol
