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.

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 - Track Name: Alento

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 - Track Name: Aí Vem Ele
-
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 - Track Name: Desencabulada

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... - Track Name: Fulaninha
-
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 - Track Name: Mire E Veja

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 - Track Name: Maria E Moleque

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 - Track Name: Anunciou
-
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 - Track Name: Um Vento Bom
-
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 - Track Name: Alívio
-
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... - Track Name: Amor e Paz
-
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...
