Vai Mentir Pra Lá
Wanessa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tá bom, eu acredito (ha ha)
Tô vendo que tá firme e forte
Igual prego na areia (ih, tá)
Se o vento sopra meu perfume 'cê' cai
E recai, e vem correndo atrás
Minha presença te incomoda demais
Diz que tá bem resolvido
Mas quando falam meu nome
'cê' chega a gaguejar
Diz que tá bem resolvido
Saindo com os amigos
Vai mentir pra lá
Diz que tá bem resolvido
Mas quando falam meu nome
'cê' chega a gaguejar
Diz que tá bem resolvido
Saindo com os amigos
Vai mentir pra lá
Vai mentir pra lá
Se o vento sopra meu perfume 'cê' cai
E recai, e vem correndo atrás
Minha presença te incomoda demais
Só pra te lembrar: quem esnoba quer pegar
Diz que tá bem resolvido
Mas quando falam meu nome
'cê' chega a gaguejar
Diz que tá bem resolvido
Saindo com os amigos
Vai mentir pra lá
Diz que tá bem resolvido
Mas quando falam meu nome
'cê' chega a gaguejar
Diz que tá bem resolvido
Saindo com os amigos
Vai mentir pra lá
Diz que tá bem resolvido
Mas quando falam meu nome
'cê' chega a gaguejar
Diz que tá bem resolvido
Saindo com os amigos
Ah, vai!
Diz que tá bem resolvido
Mas quando falam meu nome
'cê' chega a gaguejar
Diz que tá bem resolvido
Saindo com os amigos
Vai mentir pra lá
Vai mentir pra lá
Vai mentir pra lá
The lyrics of Wanessa's song "Vai Mentir Pra Lá" express a sense of self-assurance and power over someone who tries to pretend they are unaffected by the singer's presence. The opening lines "Tá de cabeça erguida, é? / Tá bom, eu acredito" (Are you holding your head up high? / Okay, I believe you) suggest that the person being addressed is trying to appear confident, but the singer sees through their facade. The following line "Tô vendo que tá firme e forte / Igual prego na areia" (I can see you're strong and firm / Like a nail in the sand) further emphasizes the idea that the person is trying to hold their ground, but ultimately failing.
The chorus repeats the idea that the person is lying about their confidence and stability. It highlights their stuttering reaction when the singer's name is mentioned, indicating that they are still affected by the singer's presence. The line "Só pra te lembrar: quem esnoba quer pegar" (Just to remind you: those who brush off want to catch) suggests that the person's attempt to appear uninterested is in fact a cover-up for their true feelings.

Are you feeling confident?
Tá bom, eu acredito (ha ha)

Tô vendo que tá firme e forte
I can see that you're strong and steady
Igual prego na areia (ih, tá)

Se o vento sopra meu perfume 'cê' cai
If the wind carries my fragrance, you fall

My presence bothers you too much
Só pra te lembrar: quem esnoba quer pegar
Just to remind you: those who ignore, want to catch
Diz que tá bem resolvido
You say you're all figured out

But when they mention my name
'cê' chega a gaguejar
You start to stutter
Saindo com os amigos
Going out with friends
Vai mentir pra lá
Go lie there
Ah, vai!

Go lie there
