Tulipa Ruiz Chagas was born in Santos, São Paulo on October 19, 1978. Her father, Luiz Chagas, was a member of Itamar Assumpção's live band Isca de Polícia; in an interview, she stated her name was a tribute to one of her father's favorite films, The Black Tulip (1964). After her parents divorced, she moved with her mother Graziella and brother Gustavo to São Lourenço, Minas Gerais, where she was raised; after growing up, she worked at a record store until moving to São Paulo at 22 years old to study journalism at the PUC-SP.
She made part of many musical ensembles during her college years, but only began her career officially in 2009.[3] Her critically acclaimed debut album, Efêmera, came out one year later, and its eponymous song was featured in the soundtrack of the video game FIFA 11. Its 2012 follow-up, Tudo Tanto, awarded her a Multishow Brazilian Music Award and an APCA Award. Her third album, Dancê, which came out in 2015, awarded her a Latin Grammy Award. In 2013 she was a guest musician on rapper Emicida's debut O Glorioso Retorno de Quem Nunca Esteve Aqui, and in 2016 she collaborated with former Titãs member Nando Reis on his eighth solo album, Jardim-Pomar.
Her most recent release, Tu, came out in 2017 and counts with a guest appearance by Mexican musician Adan Jodorowsky, son of filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky.
Aside from her musical career, Tulipa has also provided illustrations for magazines, album covers, concert posters and notebooks; her artworks are showcased in her official Tumblr page.
Efêmera
Tulipa Ruiz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Para ver se acontece alguma coisa nessa tarde de domingo
Congele o tempo preu ficar devagarinho
Com as coisas que eu gosto e que eu sei que são efêmeras
E que passam perecíveis
E acabam, se despedem, mas eu nunca me esqueço
Vou ficar mais um pouquinho
Martelo o tempo preu ficar mais pianinho
Com as coisas que eu gosto e que nunca são efêmeras
E que estão despetaladas, acabadas
Sempre pedem um tipo de recomeço
Vou ficar mais um pouquinho, eu vou
Vou ficar mais um pouquinho
Para ver se acontece alguma nessa tarde de domingo
Vou ficar mais um pouquinho
Para ver se eu aprendo alguma nessa parte do caminho
In "Efêmera" by Tulipa Ruiz, the lyrics speak about the desire to slow down time and savor the ephemeral things in life. The singer wants to stay a little longer to see if anything significant happens on a lazy, Sunday afternoon. She wants to freeze time to appreciate the things she loves that are fleeting and perishable, but that she never forgets. She wants to slow down and learn from the experiences on her path, taking her time to appreciate the journey. The contrast between the things she loves that are ephemeral and those that are not also gets highlighted in the lyrics of the song.

Vou ficar mais um pouquinho
I'm going to stay a little longer
Para ver se acontece alguma coisa nessa tarde de domingo
To see if something happens on this Sunday afternoon
Congele o tempo preu ficar devagarinho
Freeze time so I can slow down
Com as coisas que eu gosto e que eu sei que são efêmeras
With the things I like that I know are ephemeral
E que passam perecíveis
And that they pass perishable
E acabam, se despedem, mas eu nunca me esqueço
And they end, say goodbye, but I never forget
Martelo o tempo preu ficar mais pianinho
Hammer time so I can stay quieter
Com as coisas que eu gosto e que nunca são efêmeras
With the things I like that are never ephemeral
E que estão despetaladas, acabadas
And that are without petals, finished
Sempre pedem um tipo de recomeço
Always ask for a kind of restart
Vou ficar mais um pouquinho, eu vou
I'm going to stay a little longer, I am
Vou ficar mais um pouquinho
I'm going to stay a little longer
Para ver se acontece alguma nessa tarde de domingo
To see if something happens on this Sunday afternoon
Vou ficar mais um pouquinho
I'm going to stay a little longer
Para ver se eu aprendo alguma nessa parte do caminho
To see if I learn something in this part of the journey

I'll stay a little longer
to see if anything happens
That Sunday afternoon.
Freezes time preu slow slowly
With the things I like and
That I know are ephemeral
And that pass perishable
And end, say goodbye
But I never forget
I'll stay a little longer
To see if I learn anything
That part of the path
Hammer time I want to be more pianinho
With the things I like and
That are never ephemeral
And that are unfinished, finished
Always ask for a kind of restart
I'll stay a little longer, I'll
I'll stay a little longer
To see if anything happens
That Sunday afternoon
Freezes time preu slow
with the things I like
And that I know are ephemeral
And that pass perishable
And end, say goodbye
But I never forget
So I'll stay a little longer
To see if I learn anything
That part of the path
Hammer time I want to be more pianinho
With the things that I like and that are never ephemeral
And that are unfinished, finished
Always ask for a kind of restart
I will stay a little longer
To see if anything happens
This Sunday afternoon
I will stay a little longer
To see if I learn anything
This part of the way
I will stay a little longer
To see if anything happens
That Sunday afternoon
I will stay a little longer
To see if I learn something
this part of the path

Vou ficar mais um pouquinho,
Para ver se acontece alguma coisa
Nessa tarde de domingo.
Congela o tempo pr'eu ficar devagarinho
Com as coisas que eu gosto
E que eu sei que são efêmeras
E que passam perecíveis
Que acabam, se despedem,
Mas eu nunca me esqueço.
Vou ficar mais um pouquinho
Para ver se eu aprendo alguma coisa
nessa parte do caminho.
Martela o tempo pr'eu ficar mais pianinho
Com as coisas que eu gosto
E que nunca são efêmeras
E que estão despetaladas, acabadas
Sempre pedem um tipo de recomeço.
Vou ficar mais um pouquinho, eu vou.
Vou ficar mais um pouquinho
Para ver se acontece alguma coisa
Nessa tarde de domingo.
Congele o tempo pr'eu ficar devagarinho
Com as coisas que eu gosto
E que eu sei que são efêmeras
E que passam perecíveis
Que acabam, se despedem,
Mas eu nunca me esqueço.
Por isso vou ficar mais um pouquinho
Para ver se eu aprendo alguma coisa
Nessa parte do caminho.
Martela o tempo pr'eu ficar mais pianinho
Com as coisas que eu gosto
E que nunca são efêmeras
E que estão despetaladas, acabadas
Sempre pedem um tipo de recomeço.
Vou ficar mais um pouquinho
Para ver se acontece alguma coisa
Nessa tarde de domingo.
Vou ficar mais um pouquinho
Para ver se eu aprendo alguma coisa
Nessa parte do caminho.
Vou ficar mais um pouquinho
Para ver se acontece alguma coisa
Nessa tarde de domingo.
Vou ficar mais um pouquinho
Para ver se eu aprendo alguma coisa
Nessa parte do caminho.

I'll stay a little longer,
To see if anything happens
That Sunday afternoon.
Freezes time so I can slow down
With the things I like
And that I know are ephemeral
And that pass perishable
That end, say goodbye,
But I never forget.
I'll stay a little longer
To see if I learn anything
that part of the way.
Hammer time to get more pianinho
With the things I like
And that are never ephemeral
And that are unfinished, finished
They always ask for a type of restart.
I'll stay a little longer, I will.
I'll stay a little longer
To see if anything happens
That Sunday afternoon.
Freeze the time to slow down
With the things I like
And that I know are ephemeral
And that pass perishable
That end, say goodbye,
But I never forget.
So I'll stay a little longer
To see if I learn anything
That part of the path.
Hammer time to get more pianinho

And that are never ephemeral
And that are unfinished, finished
They always ask for a type of restart.

I'll stay a little longer
To see if I learn anything
That part of the path.
