I always share stuff from Argentina, but after listening to this song you might want to head towards Brazil instead.
I’ve been listening to it in a loop for the last few days. It’s like having a streaming service of sunny weather in your ears. I thought you could use some sun, too. It struck a chord in me. It made me feel good. It made me smile. I felt thankful.
Here goes a good translation of the lyrics in English via some IA over there:
(Let it go)
Let go of that low mood
Raise your head and face evil
Acting this way will be vital for your heart
Because in every experience you learn a lesson
I’ve already suffered for loving like this
I dedicated myself but it was all in vain
(Why?)
Why lament?
If in your life you can find
Someone who loves you with all their strength and passion
Then the pain will subside
(You have to fight)
You have to fight
Don’t get discouraged
Just give yourself
To someone who deserves you
I’m not giving or selling
As the saying goes
My advice is to see you happy
(repeat)
Lala-laia
Lala-laia laia, lala-laia laia, lala-laia, laia-laia-laia
I’m not giving or selling
As the saying goes
My advice is to see you happy
My advice is to see you happy
My advice is to see you happy
I’ve never learned Portuguese, so it’s uncanny how much I could understand (70%, easily) of the lyrics just on the first try. The original goes below, just for the sake of beauty. Brazilian Portuguese is such a beautifully sounding language, it’s almost obscene.
(Deixe de lado)
Deixe de lado esse baixo astral
Ergua a cabeça enfrente o mal
Agindo assim será vital para o seu coração
É que em cada experiência se aprende uma lição
Eu já sofri por amar assim
Me dediquei mas foi tudo em vão
(Pra que?)
Pra que se lamentar?
Se em sua vida pode encontrar
Quem te ame com toda força e ardor
Assim sucumbirá a dor
(Tem que lutar)
Tem que lutar
Não se abater
Só se entregar
A quem te merecer
Não estou dando nem vendendo
Como o ditado diz
O meu conselho é pra te ver feliz
(…)
Lala-laia
Lala-laia laia, lala-laia laia, lala-laia, laia-laia-laia
Não estou dando e nem vendendo
Como o ditado diz
O meu conselho é pra te ver feliz
O meu conselho é pra te ver feliz
O meu conselho é pra te ver feliz
