As her names suggests (in Portuguese "da Mata" means "from the forest") is a force of nature. This singer and composer cannot play all the instruments, but she has an overt musicality. She gathers more than 250 compositions in book notes and tapes which she always carries in her purse. Before her debut album brought her name into the spotlight, many artists recorded some of her songs. One of them, Chico César pushed for making her compositions more famous in Brazil.
Good Luck / Boa Sorte
Vanessa da Mata Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Não tem mais jeito
Acabou, boa sorte
Não tenho o que dizer
São só palavras
E o que eu sinto
Não mudará
Tudo o que quer me dar
É demais
É pesado
Não há paz
Tudo o que quer de mim
Irreais
Expectativas
Desleais
That's it
There's no way
It's over
Good luck
I've nothing else to say
It's only words
And what I feel
Won't change
Tudo o que quer me dar (everything you want to give me)
É demais
É pesado (it's too much) não há paz (it's heavy)
Tudo o que quer de mim (all you want from me)
Irreais (there is no peace)
Expectativas
Desleais
Mesmo se segure
Quero que se cure
Dessa pessoa
Que o aconselha
Há um desencontro
Veja por esse ponto
Há tantas pessoas especiais
Now even if you hold yourself
I want you to, to get cured
From this person
Who advises you
There is a disconnection
See through this point of view
There are so many
Special people in the world
So many special
People in the world
In the world
All you want
Tudo o que quer me dar
É demais
É pesado, não há paz
Tudo o que quer de mim
Irreais
Expectativas
Desleais
Mesmo se segure
Quero que se cure
Dessa pessoa
Que o aconselha
Há um desencontro
Veja por esse ponto
Há tantas pessoas especiais
I'm falling (falling), I'm falling into the night
Into the night
I'm falling (falling)
Falling
Um bom encontro é de dois
Falling (falling), falling into the night
Into the night
Falling
Falling, falling
The lyrics of Vanessa da Mata's Boa Sorte / Good Luck express the end of a relationship with resignation and a certain degree of sadness. The singer of the song acknowledges that there is nothing left to do, and wishes good luck to the other person, but admits that the hurt caused by the breakup is too heavy to bear. The sense of weight is accentuated throughout the song, both in the repetition of the word "pesado" (heavy) and in the insistent "falling" at the end of the lyrics, suggesting a sense of helplessness and loss of control.
The second verse of the song seems to touch upon issues of unrealistic expectations and inequality within the relationship. The singer emphasizes that the other person's demands are too much and unfair, and that there is no peace to be found in them. This might suggest a power dynamic in which one person feels overly responsible for the relationship and the other is content with taking and demanding without regard for the other's needs.
In the third verse, the singer urges the other person to let go of the advice they receive and to look at the situation from a different perspective. The lines "There are so many special people in the world/So many special people in the world" suggest a kind of release from the preoccupation with the specific person and relationship at hand, and an invitation to shift the focus onto other possibilities.
Overall, the song portrays a moment of closure and acceptance, tinged with sadness, but also with a sense of hope for the future.

I want you to get cure from this person
Who advices you, there is a disconnection
See through this point of view
There are so many special people in the world
So many special people in the world
In the world
All you want, all you want
All that you want to give
It's too much, it's so heavy
There's no peace
All that you want from me (there's no peace)
Unreal expectations, unfaithful
