Lero-Lero (free) 04:43
Lero-Lero (Hey, What’s Up) Look who’s coming now: Just, "Hey, What’s up?" and a glance eye to eye He’s on our side No hurry, no delay Everything’s all right He’s of the same blood Our flow is telepathic Beyond words And when life gets tough It’s just, "Hey, What’s up?" And a glance eye to eye And I’m back to all right This is for you, my brother This is for you, my brother Everything’s all right __________________ Quem vem ali agora: É lero-lero olho no olho e nada mais Esse é do mesmo time Não tem pressa e nem atraso Tudo é em paz Parece o mesmo sangue Quando um pensa o outro sabe Nem fala não E quando a vida aperta É lero-lero olho no olho e me volta a paz Quero dizer valeu irmão Quero dizer valeu irmão E nada mais

Alento 03:29
I get up early with my foot on the brake And the whole world begins to turn In the bathroom, I look in the mirror I take in the courage to get on the move Wallet and keys in my pocket my cell phone is charging Listen up, better let me be Nobody’s going to hold me back Yeah, I’m in control of my life So happiness will come So my dreams can fly Don’t mess with me If I’m laughing, I’m laughing for you Look up at the sky, honey I wasn’t born to fake it I’m tuned in to the love We have for life ______________ Acordo cedo com o pé no freio E o mundo inteiro começa a girar No banheiro, olho no espelho Crio coragem e ponho pra andar A carteira, a chave no bolso Tá carregando o meu celular Acredita, ninguém apita Quem vai querer hoje me segurar É, eu tô na vida e é pra virar Que a felicidade vem Eu tô sonhando mais além Não nem vem aqui me atazanar Se eu tô rindo é pra você Olha pro céu meu bem É eu não fui feita pra fingir Eu tô ligada é no amor Que se tem pra viver

Aí Vem Ele 04:12
It was so cold, but look who’s here Getting closer: it’s love Your certainty gazed at me Follow its line, bringing you in What do I do? Stop now, don’t make a scene Just as I thought Oh, my God, Mother Mary What should I say The time has come And look who’s here I take him in, I kiss him, and that’s that ____________________ Tava tão frio, quem chegou Quem se aproxima é o amor Sua certeza me olhou Segue a risca já vem O que é que eu faço Agora pára olha o clima Como eu pensei Ai meu deus ave maria Ai o que é que eu falo Tá na hora vem chegando Ai aí vem ele Deixo vir e beijo e pronto

It happened at a Baile funk* She got home late at night Wanton, almost nude Still whistling the refrain Isabel, brunette, Curly hair A poem of waist and mouth With a bright, seductive gaze It happened at a Baile funk, She danced, madly Her sweat bathed her many partners She sang the refrain with no shame… *baile funk – a party featuring Rio funk music (a genre with origins in Miami Bass) ____________________ Foi num baile funk E chegou de madrugada Desencabulada, quase tava nua Inda assoviava um refrão Isabel, morena Do cabelo cacheado Uma poesia de cintura e boca De olhar atento e sudutor Foi num baile funk, Dançou, deseperada Seu suor banhava os parceiros muitos O refrão cantava sem pudor...

Fulaninha 03:35
Jane Doe left town to the rhythm of love Set sail without fear She won’t miss a step along the way She’s gonna make it Where would it all get her? And fear crept in slowly But her desire to dream Just took over Fixed on her goal, the clock ticking A life still to be made The world opening itself up She’s understanding It was a bridge to be crossed Where would the bridge get her? And fear crept in slowly But her desire to dream Just took over ________________________ Fulaninha se foi na toada do amor Embarcou sem medo de cair Sem render nenhum passo de todo trajeto Dali iria até o fim Onde é que aquilo ia dar E o medo vinha devagar Mas um desejo de sonhar Tomava conta do lugar Arretada na meta o relógio rodando E a vida longe de existir Quando o mundo se abrindo, Fulana entendendo Era a ponte para se cumprir Onde é que ponte ia dar E o medo vinha devagar Mas um desejo de sonhar Tomava conta do lugar

Mire E Veja 04:36
I take my road I wander through chaos I ride my bike idly Around my big city I turn every corner God, this place is all gray I stop by a wall I see a window There, I see a vase, I see the rose, I see a shadow flash, a woman’s body Magnetic, quick chill and I move on to someplace else Pedaling slowly Same absence of color The window, the rose and the woman return To reveal color in the black and white portrait of the city Around me I go aimlessly I wander through chaos Riding my bike In the big city, whistling An old song I once heard in this very place I stop by another wall I peep through the door I take a look and see a pink girl In a blue dress, spin Around over a gray, old and dirty patio To the sound of that old song Pedaling in the past I lay colors in the present I remember the pink and blue girl I remember her and reinvent the way I look at My city, my place I remember the pink and blue girl _____________________ Sigo o meu caminho Vago pelo caos Pedalando minha bicicleta Na cidade grande a vadiar Revirando cada canto esquina Deus, é todo cinza meu lugar Paro rente a um muro Vejo uma janela Nela vejo um vaso, vejo a rosa, Vejo um vulto, um corpo de mulher Magnético arrepio vivo e Logo viro rumo outro lugar Pedalando devagar Mesma ausência de cor Voltam janela, rosa e mulher Revelam cor no retrato PB da cidade Ao meu redor Vago meu caminho Sigo pelo caos Pedalando minha bicicleta Na cidade grande a assoviar Uma velha melodia um dia Ouvida bem aqui neste lugar Paro noutro muro Olho pela porta Miro e vejo uma menina rosa, Vestidinho azul, rodopiar Sobre um velho pátio sujo e cinza Ao som daquela velha melodia Pedalando no passado Deito cores ao presente Lembro a menina rosa e azul Lembro e repenso a maneira de olhar A cidade, o meu lugar Lembro a menina rosa e azul

The Kid was taking some time by the fire Smoking a joint in the alley up to the slums When Maria Rita do Anescar passed by The sweetest smelling, most beautiful girl in the hood The Kid went after the girl He left Formiga in charge of the slums But the hard truth was that she was taken She already had two sons with Anescar (Cidimar and Tom) The Kid grabbed her by the arm He cursed her for not being his, The girl shook him off, she ran, she tripped He was the boss of the hood and he wanted her She was touched, she smiled And they made love in an Opala with tinted windows At a street corner, Vila das Mercês Rita sighed in total bliss All wet, her pleasure overflowed And they made love in an Opala with tinted windows At a street corner, Vila das Mercês Rita rode him with fury Exuding the scent of the sea _____________________ Moleque tava dando um tempo na fogueira Puxando um “back” na ladeira da favela Quando passou Maria Rita do Anescar A mais cheirosa e mais bonita do lugar Moleque se mandou atrás da rapariga Deixou Formiga no controle da favela Mas o diabo é que a donzela era do lar Já tinha dois barrigudinhos com o Anescar (O Cidimar e o Tom) Moleque pegou pelo braço da menina Mal disse a sina de não ser seu namorado Menina estremeceu, correu, tropeçou Era o malandro da quebrada e a desejou Se emocionou, sorriu E se amaram num opala de vidro fumê Em qualquer encruzilhada, Vila das Mercês Rita suspirava embevecida, Encharcada, o próprio prazer vertia E se amaram num opala de vidro fumê Em qualquer encruzilhada, Vila das Mercês Rita cavalgava enfurecida Exalava um cheiro de maresia

Anunciou 03:14
It stung, it burned It declared that life had changed It hurt, it gnawed But the one who arrived didn’t back off He loved, he came in Didn’t get lost upon saying goodbye He left, he came back He imagined whatever he wanted… He was shaken, he suffered He found, he loved He uprooted, he planted He cast a spell, he fell _____________ Ardeu, queimou Anunciou que a vida virou Doeu, comeu Mas quem chegou não renunciou Amou, entrou Não se perdeu na hora do adeus Se foi, voltou Imaginou o que quis... Abalou, sofreu Encontrou, amou Arrancou, plantou Encantou, caiu

Um Vento Bom 03:49
A good wind, I discovered Now is the time to live When it happens, you’ll know That everything will find its place A certain love glides Between the lines through the air When it comes it will whisper Now is the time to live I want to see you dance Dance so light you float I just want to feel That the atmosphere is going to lighten up now. __________________ Um vento bom, eu descobri Agora é hora de viver Cê vai sacar, quando virar Que tudo encontra o seu lugar Um certo amor, a deslizar Nas entrelinhas pelo ar Vai sussurrar, quando chegar Agora é hora de viver Quero te ver dançar Dançar tão leve a flutuar Eu quero só sentir Que o clima agora vai se abrir

Alívio 03:33
Who’s never gone nuts Diving into this sea Who’s never felt A samba here by Candeia Will he find Will he find Will he... Who’s never dreamed Looking at the starry sky Who’s never danced A samba on this street Will he love Will he find Will he... ____________ Quem nunca pirou Ao mergulhar nesse mar Quem nunca sentiu Um samba cá de Candeia Será que vai achar Será que vai achar Será... Quem nunca sonhou Ao ver o céu de estrelas Quem nunca dançou Um samba nessa avenida Será que vai amar Será que vai achar Será...

Amor e Paz 02:44
Love stayed It stopped it’s coming and going Peace has come It doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t want The wonders I saw Only made me cry I got tired, I found I’m by your side, so close, so close To protect you It’s mine, it’s yours, it’s... _________________ O amor ficou Não vai, não vem A paz chegou Não dói, não quer A maravilha que eu via, que eu via Só me fez chorar Cansei, achei Tô do teu lado tão perto, tão perto Pra te proteger É meu, é teu, é...

about

Sultry, seductive and infused with that inimitable samba swing, the music of Luísa Maita embodies the modern spirit of Brazil. Inspired by the bustling urban life found in her native city of São Paulo, Lero-Lero has a contemporary vibe with influences from alternative pop and downtempo electronic music melded with an acoustic foundation deeply rooted in samba, bossa nova and MPB. Fans of Bebel Gilberto, Céu and Seu Jorge will find much to love in Luísa Maita’s tropical, forward-looking sound, and her sensual yet soulful voice begs comparisons with everyone from Billie Holiday and Sade to Feist, St. Vincent and Cat Power. Hailing from a country overflowing with musical talent, Luísa Maita rises above the fray as one of the most promising young singers of her generation.
