Meu Deus
Vanessa da Mata Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Um homem bonito assim
O que quer de mim
O que ele fará comigo?
Um homem bonito que planos
O que Deus me deu
E que ele fará com os seus
Braços de amansar desejos
Boca de beijo

Corpo de tocar
Meu coração muito tonto
Quer sair de mim

Olhos flechando meus zelos
Bem que o meu corpo já me mostrava
Tentação das mais safadas
Sem dor sem penar

Meu Deus, Ave Maria!
Se ele não é um dos Seus
Ninguém mais seria
Ninguém mais seria

Um homem bonito assim
O que quer de mim
O que ele fará comigo
Um homem bonito que planos
O que Deus me deu
E o que ele fará com os seus
Braços de arrancar desejos
Olhos de gato
Sabor de hortelã
Meu coração muito louco
Quer chegar-se em mim

Olhos flechando os meus zelos
Bem que o meu corpo já me mostrava
Conclusão das mais safadas
Sem dor sem penar

Meu Deus, Ave Maria!
Se ele não é um dos Seus
Ninguém mais seria
Ninguém mais seria
Meu Deus, Ave Maria!
Se ele não é um dos Seus

Ninguém mais seria
Ninguém mais

Overall Meaning

The song "Meu Deus" by Vanessa da Mata is a sensual and emotional portrayal of a woman's internal struggle with her desire for a handsome and alluring man. The first verse expresses her confusion and curiosity about the man's intentions and his impact on her life. She questions what he wants from her and what he will do to her. The second verse describes the man's physical attributes and their effect on her heart and senses. The sensual imagery of his embrace, kiss, and touch heightens her desire for him, and she feels like her heart is about to burst with excitement.

The chorus of the song, "Meu Deus, Ave Maria!" (My God, Hail Mary!) reflects the woman's spiritual conflict. She questions whether this man is a gift from God or a temptation from the devil. She wonders if he is a blessing or a curse in disguise. The repetition of the phrase adds to the intensity of her feelings and emphasizes the emotional turmoil she is experiencing.

Overall, "Meu Deus" is a poignant and heartfelt reflection on the complexities of desire, spirituality, and human nature. It explores the inherent contradictions and conflicts that arise when our physical and emotional desires clash with our spiritual beliefs and values.

Uma música que mostra um homem bonito e atraente como um "muso" do desejo dela. As mulheres sempre são as musas das canções e dos poetas...difícil ver uma mulher cantar os adjetivos físicos de um homem...parabéns Vanessa!!!
