Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I felt the heat
A million faces stared at me
I felt the earth, move to a beat
A million ways in which to sing, ah
And in the mist I saw the mayor
He looked at me with such a glare
A million angels sang to me oh
Make sure she will be all right
Make sure she will be fine
A million voices will leave her
And then the crowd began to sway
A million eyes looking my way
I felt the sun beat on the earth
A thousand ways in which to play, ah
And then I felt one hundred hearts
A million angels smiled at me
And then I danced another dance
As people started to begin
Tell her she will be all right
Tell her she will be fine
A million voices will leave her
In the song "Anna Maria" by Bôa, the lyrics describe a memorable dance experience. The singer mentions feeling the heat and being watched by a large crowd while the earth moved to a beat. They also mention seeing the mayor give them a disapproving look. However, the singer found comfort in their "secret dance" as they were serenaded by a million angels.
Later on in the song, the crowd begins to sway and the singer feels the sun beat on the earth. They even mention feeling the beating of a hundred hearts and seeing a million angels smile at them. This leads the singer to dance again as the people around them start to join in. The lyrics end with a message to "tell her she will be all right" and that "a million voices will leave her."
The song seems to be about finding solace in dance during a moment of judgment and scrutiny from others. Despite feeling watched and scrutinized, the singer was able to find a sense of peace and release through their movements. The mention of the mayor's glance could represent a disapproving authority figure while the angels represent a release from that scrutiny. The final message of reassurance could be directed towards someone else who may be feeling similarly judged.
