Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Ela tem nome de mulher guerreira

She has the name of a warrior woman

E se veste de um jeito que só ela

And dresses in a way that's uniquely hers

Ela vive entre o aqui e o alheio

She lives between the here and the other

As meninas não gostam muito dela

The girls don't really like her


Ela tem um tribal no tornozelo

She has a tribal on her ankle

E na nuca adormece uma serpente

And on her neck, a snake sleeps

O que faz ela ser quase um segredo

What makes her almost a secret

É ser ela assim, tão transparente

Is being herself so transparent


Ela é livre e ser livre a faz brilhar

She is free, and being free makes her shine

Ela é filha da terra,céu e mar

She is a daughter of the earth, sky, and sea

Dandara

Dandara


Ela faz mechas claras no cabelo

She highlights strands in her hair

E caminha na areia pelo raso

And walks on the sand in the shallows

Eu procuro saber os seus roteiros

I try to find out her routes

Pra fingir que a encontro por acaso

To pretend that I meet her by chance


Ela fala num celular vermelho

She talks on a red cellphone

Com amigos e com seu namorado

With friends and with her boyfriend

Ela tem perto dela o mundo inteiro

She has the whole world near her

E à volta outro mundo, admirado

And around, another world, admired


Ela é livre e ser livre a faz brilhar

She is free, and being free makes her shine

Ela é filha da terra,céu e mar

She is a daughter of the earth, sky, and sea

Dandara

Dandara


Dandara...
