Melim is a Brazilian pop trio made up of siblings Rodrigo, Gabriela, and Diogo Melim, twins Rodrigo and Diogo plus their younger sister Gabi, all born and raised in Niterói, in Rio de Janeiro state.

The group came together in 2015 and reached a national audience the following year as semifinalists on the Brazilian television competition "Superstar." Their self-titled debut album followed in 2018, filled with warm, acoustic-driven pop songs the three siblings wrote themselves.

Melim became known across Brazil for feel-good hits like "Meu Abrigo," "Ouvi Dizer," and "Gelo," blending pop melodies with gentle Brazilian singer-songwriter harmonies. That hopeful, easygoing spirit runs through their catalogue, wrapping simple wishes for peace and kindness in a breezy sound.

CONTENTS SUMMARY
Meu Abrigo (My Shelter)
Desejo a você
O que há de melhor
A minha companhia
Pra não se sentir só
I wish you
the very best there is
my company
so you don't feel alone

Meu Abrigo is a musical love letter painted with sun-kissed colors. Over gentle acoustic grooves, Melim invites us on an imaginary trip where the ticket includes "o sol, a lua e o mar." The siblings list everything delightful they want to share: ocean breezes, sunset games, starlit dances, and even flowers for Iemanjá, the Afro-Brazilian sea goddess. Each image feels like a postcard from a perfect beach holiday, yet the true destination is emotional rather than geographical.

At the heart of the song lies a simple message: real paradise is found in the arms of the one you love. The chorus repeats that the beloved is "a razão da minha felicidade" and "meu abrigo"—a safe place that outshines any idyllic backdrop. By blending tropical scenery, playful melodies, and affectionate Portuguese, Meu Abrigo reminds listeners that laughter, peace, and joy become infinite when shared with a soulmate.

Dois Corações (Two Hearts)
Eu era apenas eu
Nada demais
Chorava enquanto meu coração escondido
Ia seguindo os teus sinais
I was just me
Nothing much
I cried while my hidden heart
Kept following your signs

“Dois Corações” is a warm, sun-kissed love story that celebrates the magical moment when two separate lives melt into one. At first the singer feels ordinary and even a little lost, but the arrival of a special someone flips everything upside down—in the best way possible. Their partner’s gaze is compared to a child eagerly waiting for a Christmas present, hinting at innocence, excitement, and pure joy. When the narrator discovers the other person living inside their own heart, they realize that real love is happening and willingly lose themselves in that feeling.

Melim paints this union with playful pairings: verse and poetry, bread and bakery, piano and melody, movie and popcorn. Each duo only makes sense together, just like the two sweethearts who now beat as one. By the end of the song, “two hearts” fuse into a single rhythm that is “worth more than two or three,” reminding listeners that true connection multiplies happiness beyond simple arithmetic.

Paz E Amor (Peace And Love)
Te amo demais, nunca se esqueça
Pro que der e vier, 'cê sabe
Eu 'to aqui, eu 'to aqui
Levante a mão, sorria e agradeça
I love you so much, never forget
For whatever comes, you know
I'm here, I'm here
Raise your hand, smile and give thanks

Melim opens this one like a hug: "Te amo demais, nunca se esqueça" (I love you so much, never forget it), then "Pro que der e vier, 'cê sabe / Eu 'to aqui, eu 'to aqui" (Whatever comes, you know / I'm here, I'm here). Then the advice gets almost comically practical. "Positividade cura a dor / A dor de cabeça" (Positivity cures the pain / The headache), they sing, as if good vibes were an aspirin, and they tell you that finding something that makes you laugh is "a chave pra fugir dos seus problemas" (the key to escaping your problems).

The best line is the mirror one: "A bondade que 'cê vê, é o espelho de você / E o mal que faz pro outro te envenena" (The kindness you see is a mirror of you / And the harm you do to others poisons you). From there the trio zooms out to everyone, wishing for "empatia / Entre todos os povos, nações" (empathy / Among all peoples, nations) and shrugging "Chega de briga" (Enough fighting). The chorus asks "Quem no mundo não quer paz e amor?" (Who in the world doesn't want peace and love?), and by the outro they just keep repeating "Quero paz" (I want peace) until the question answers itself.

Alegria (Joy)
A lua nova atraí, se a gente acreditar
Tem que correr atrás
Mas pega leve, take it easy
Mentalize
The new moon attracts, if we believe
You have to chase
But take it easy, take it easy
Mentalize

"Alegria" is Melim and Natiruts joining two of Brazil's warmest genres, pop and reggae, around one simple idea: joy is a choice you can practice.

The verses lean on the new moon as a small ritual for belief and renewal: if you trust it, you have to go after what you want, but gently, taking it easy and mentalizing rather than forcing it. The line about time healing those who have suffered too much frames the song as encouragement rather than denial of hard times.

The chorus is the payoff: let joy invade and overflow your heart with good energy, and let it light you up. The repeated, almost chanted 'alegria' turns the word itself into the mantra, echoing the reggae tradition of using rhythm and repetition to lift a mood rather than just describe one.

Menina De Rua (Street Girl)
Andando no meio dos carros
Sem teto entre prédios tão caros
As mãos dividindo os centavos
E os pés sem sapatos
Walking between the cars
Homeless among such expensive buildings
Hands sharing the pennies
And feet with no shoes

Imagine traffic lights blinking, luxury skyscrapers towering, and right in the middle of it all a barefoot little girl who sings instead of cries. That is the striking picture Melim paints in Menina De Rua. The trio turns a harsh urban scene into a lesson on resilience: despite having no roof or shoes, the “street girl” beams with gratitude for a simple plate of food and hums melodies of love. Her optimism flips the script on what it means to be rich or poor, reminding us that joy and dignity can bloom even in concrete corners.

The song then invites the listener to join that melody. Melim nudges us to look past labels, share our “centavos” of kindness, and recharge our own spirits through gratitude. Love is the common currency, they sing, and every “Eu te amo” we offer helps build a world filled with hope, freedom, and peace. By the final chorus you are left believing that if a child in chaos can celebrate life, we can too—and we all have a part in making the city, and the world, hum a little sweeter.

Cabelo De Anjo (Angel Hair)
Pra que razão
Se ela não pode dar asas
E eu amo um anjo
Sem direção
Why
If it can't give wings
And I love an angel
With no direction

Have you ever felt like love just landed in your lap? That is the sweet surprise behind “Cabelo De Anjo.” The singer wanders aimlessly (“Já andei por tanta estrada”) until an almost celestial crush swoops in (“você chegou voando”). This person is so perfect—right down to their “angel hair”—that the narrator is convinced they hid their wings and came straight from heaven. Every “oi” wipes out years of loneliness, and the once-restless traveler suddenly has a reason to stay put.

Yet the song is not only about arrival but about the afterglow. Longing (“saudade”) keeps growing, proving that real love does not fade when the other person steps away; it only intensifies. Wrapped in laid-back Brazilian pop, the lyrics celebrate how a single greeting can flip a life from solitude to boundless, weightless joy.

Eu Feat. Você (Me Feat. You)
Hoje eu vou sair
Só um shot de auto estima
E meio copo de amor próprio eu bebi
Pra me divertir
Today I'm going out
Just a shot of self-esteem
And I drank half a glass of self-love
To have fun

“Eu Feat. Você” is Melim’s feel-good invitation to turn love into a chart-topping collaboration. The singer starts the night with a shot of self-esteem and a half-glass of self-love, ready to have fun. When they spot someone whose smile and paradise-like vibe match their own energy, the scene is set: sunset on the horizon, music in the air, and two hearts syncing to the same beat.

The chorus flips relationship talk into music-studio slang: you are the perfect “feature” on my track, and together we can light up an entire crowd. As day fades, their shared “inner light” replaces the stars, spreading joy to everyone singing and dancing around them. At its core, the song celebrates self-love that overflows into collective happiness, proving that “Eu feat. Você” is always a hit.

Ouvi Dizer (I Heard)
Mhhmhh
Papapaparapapapa
Ôôuôô, ôôuôô
Se eu acordasse todo dia
Mhhmhh
Papapaparapapapa
Ôôuôô, ôôuôô
if I woke up every day

Ouvi Dizer paints a sun-soaked picture of love that turns the ordinary into pure magic. The singer daydreams about lazy mornings with endless coffee, sketching their partner's features until even a simple doodle becomes a Mona Lisa. Riding tandem on a bicycle, fixing what is broken, and adding color to black-and-white scenes, every line celebrates how light and playful life feels when the right person is around.

In the chorus, Melim admits they had only heard that heaven could exist on Earth and that goosebumps signal true love... until they experienced it themselves. Meeting this special someone makes sense of every rumor, filling empty spaces with peace, humor, and a sense of wholeness. This is an upbeat anthem to the transformative power of love, wrapped in tropical harmonies and irresistible “papapa” hooks that will leave you smiling.

Alegria (Glæde)
A lua nova atraí, se a gente acreditar
Tem que correr atrás

Nymånen tiltrækker, hvis man tror på det
Man må kæmpe for det
Men tag det roligt, take it easy
Visualisér

I “Alegria” bliver glæde næsten til en kraft, man kan lukke ind i sig selv. Den nye måne, “A lua nova atrai” [Den nye måne tiltrækker], bliver et billede på håb og på det, man ønsker sig, hvis man tør tro på det. Men teksten har også begge ben på jorden: “Tem que correr atrás” [Man må gå efter det] betyder, at man selv skal gøre en indsats. Og så kommer den venlige påmindelse: “Mas pega leve, take it easy” [Men tag det roligt]. Det brasiliansk-portugisiske udtryk pega leve betyder netop, at man ikke skal presse sig selv for hårdt. “Mentalize” [Tænk det klart for dig] handler om at rette tankerne mod det gode.

Efter svære tider lover sangen ikke en hurtig løsning. “Pra quem sofreu demais, o tempo faz curar” [For den, der har lidt for meget, heler tiden] siger enkelt, at tiden kan hjælpe sårene med at hele. Imens bliver musikken til bølger: “As ondas desse som vão amplificar / Tudo de bom que há pra se viver” [Dette lyds bølger vil forstærke alt det gode, der er at opleve]. Omkvædet gentager “Alegria” [Glæde], indtil ordet næsten føles som en invitation: “Deixa invadir e transbordar seu coração com boas energias” [Lad den trænge ind og flyde over i dit hjerte med gode energier]. Det er en varm og ligefrem idé: Gå efter det, du håber på, tag det roligt undervejs, og lad glæden få så meget plads, at den løber over.

«Alegria» звучит как солнечное напоминание: за хорошими переменами стоит идти, но без паники и надрыва. Луна становится здесь почти талисманом: «A lua nova atrai, se a gente acreditar» [новая луна притягивает, если мы верим]. Сразу после этого песня советует: «Tem que correr atrás» [нужно добиваться своего], но тут же смягчает приказ английским «take it easy» [не напрягайся, полегче]. «Mentalize» [представляй желаемое, держи это в мыслях] звучит немного по-магически, будто настрой действительно помогает сделать шаг вперёд.

Для тех, кто слишком много страдал, есть простая мысль: «o tempo faz curar» [время лечит]. А музыка превращается в волну: «As ondas desse som vão amplificar / Tudo de bom que há pra se viver» [волны этого звука усилят всё хорошее, что есть в жизни]. Припев не стесняется повторяться: «Alegria» [радость], «deixa invadir e transbordar seu coração com boas energias» [позволь радости войти и переполнить сердце хорошей энергией]. Очень прямолинейно, зато именно поэтому работает: перестань держать радость на расстоянии и дай ей заполнить тебя целиком.

„Alegria“ je vedra pesma o tome da se čovek ponovo okrene dobrim stvarima, ali bez forsiranja. Stih „A lua nova atrai, se a gente acreditar“ [Mlad mesec privlači, ako verujemo] zvuči kao mala poruka nade: verovanje pokreće želju, a zatim treba ići za njom, „Tem que correr atrás“ [Moraš da potrčiš za tim]. Ipak, pesma odmah dodaje „Mas pega leve, take it easy“ [Ali polako, bez pritiska], pa je njen savet simpatično uravnotežen: potrudi se, ali ne pretvaraj život u trku. „Mentalize“ [Zamisli to, usmeri misli] govori o tome da u glavi zadržiš ono čemu se nadaš.

Za one koji su mnogo patili, pesma kaže „o tempo faz curar“ [vreme leči], a zatim zamišlja kako talasi muzike pojačavaju „Tudo de bom que há pra se viver“ [sve dobro što može da se doživi]. Refren poziva da „Alegria“ [radost] uđe u srce i „transborde“ [prelije se], zajedno sa dobrim energijama. To nije tiha, skromna radost, već nešto što treba pustiti da zauzme prostor: „Deixa invadir e transbordar seu coração“ [Pusti je da uđe i prelije tvoje srce].

Melimi ja Natirutsi „Alegria” on nagu soe julgustus pärast rasket aega. Laul algab kujundiga noorkuust: „A lua nova atrai, se a gente acreditar” [„Noorkuu tõmbab ligi, kui me usume”]. Seejärel tuleb praktiline nõuanne: „Tem que correr atrás” [„Tuleb ise selle poole joosta ehk pingutada”], kuid kohe ka tasakaalustav „Mas pega leve, take it easy” [„Aga võta rahulikult”]. „Pega leve” on kõnekeelne viis öelda, et ei tasu end liiga kõvasti tagant sundida. „Mentalize” [„Mõtle sellele teadlikult, kujutle seda”] suunab kuulaja mõtteid heade asjade poole.

Laul ütleb otse, et kannatusele võib järgneda paranemine: „Pra quem sofreu demais, o tempo faz curar” [„Selle jaoks, kes on liiga palju kannatanud, aitab aeg paraneda”]. Muusika lained võimendavad kõike head, mida elul pakkuda on, ja lasevad sellel edasi kõlada: „As ondas desse som vão amplificar / tudo de bom que há pra se viver” [„Selle heli lained võimendavad kõike head, mida on elada”]. Siis kordub peamine kutse: „Alegria” [„Rõõm”]. Rõõm ei pea jääma väikeseks tundeks, vaid võib „invadir e transbordar seu coração com boas energias” [„siseneda su südamesse ja ajada selle heast energiast üle ääre”]. Mulle meeldib, kui siiralt ja natuke suurelt see kõlab: lase rõõmul tulla, kuni süda on seda täis.

Alegria (Joie)

La nouvelle lune attire, si on y croit
Il faut foncer
Mais vas-y mollo, take it easy
Visualise

Dans « Alegria », Melim et Natiruts proposent une petite méthode pour remettre du soleil dans les jours difficiles. La chanson commence avec la lune nouvelle, qui « atraí, se a gente acreditar » [attire, si l’on y croit], puis conseille de faire sa part : « Tem que correr atrás » [il faut se démener, poursuivre ce que l’on veut]. Mais sans se rendre malade : « Pega leve, take it easy » [vas-y doucement, prends ça tranquillement]. Le mot mentalize signifie ici se concentrer sur ce que l’on souhaite, comme une pensée positive à garder en tête.

Le message devient plus tendre pour les personnes qui ont beaucoup souffert : « O tempo faz curar » [le temps finit par guérir]. Ensuite, la musique elle-même devient une force : ses « ondas desse som » [ondes de ce son] amplifient « tudo de bom que há pra se viver » [tout le bonheur qu’il y a à vivre]. Et le refrain insiste, presque comme une invitation à ouvrir une fenêtre : « Deixa invadir e transbordar seu coração com boas energias » [laisse les bonnes énergies entrer et déborder dans ton cœur]. Le mot alegria [joie] revient encore et encore, jusqu’à donner envie de le chanter avec eux. Voilà une chanson qui dit franchement : arrête de souffrir, avance à ton rythme, et laisse la joie prendre toute la place.

La luna nueva atrae, si creemos
Hay que ir tras ello
Pero tómatelo con calma, take it easy
Mentalízate

“Alegria” presenta una receta sencilla y contagiosa para volver a abrirle espacio a lo bueno. La luna nueva aparece como una señal de esperanza: “A lua nova atrai, se a gente acreditar” [La luna nueva atrae, si creemos]. Pero creer no basta: “Tem que correr atrás” [Hay que ir tras ello]. Y aquí llega el consejo más simpático de la canción: “Mas pega leve, take it easy” [Pero tómatelo con calma]. Hay que actuar, sí, aunque sin convertir la vida en una carrera agotadora. “Mentalize” [Mentalízalo] invita a dirigir la mente hacia lo que se quiere vivir.

Para quien ha sufrido mucho, la canción ofrece una idea directa: “o tempo faz curar” [el tiempo cura]. Después, las ondas de la música amplifican “tudo de bom que há pra se viver” [todo lo bueno que hay por vivir]. El estribillo repite “Alegria” [Alegría] como una energía que no debe quedarse pequeña: “Deixa invadir e transbordar seu coração com boas energias” [Deja que invada y desborde tu corazón con buenas energías]. Incluso aparece un “chega de sofrer” [ya basta de sufrir], claro y decidido. La imagen final es preciosa por su sencillez: dejar entrar la alegría hasta que rebose.

„Alegria“ bedeutet auf Portugiesisch Freude, und genau diese Freude soll in dem Lied Raum bekommen. Die „lua nova“ [Neumond] zieht etwas an, wenn man daran glaubt: „A lua nova atrai, se a gente acreditar“ [Der Neumond zieht an, wenn wir daran glauben]. Danach folgt ein kleiner, sympathischer Widerspruch: „Tem que correr atrás, mas pega leve, take it easy“ [Man muss etwas dafür tun, aber mach langsam, ganz entspannt]. Also: Ziele nicht einfach erwarten, ihnen nachgehen, sich dabei aber nicht kaputtmachen. „Mentalize“ [Stell es dir in Gedanken vor / richte deinen Geist darauf] klingt wie ein kurzer Motivationsruf.

Für Menschen, die sehr gelitten haben, verspricht das Lied Zeit als Heilerin: „Pra quem sofreu demais, o tempo faz curar“ [Für jemanden, der zu sehr gelitten hat, lässt die Zeit heilen]. Die Wellen des Sounds sollen alles Gute im Leben verstärken und weitertragen. Im Refrain wird daraus eine Einladung: „Deixa invadir e transbordar seu coração com boas energias“ [Lass die Freude eindringen und dein Herz mit guter Energie überfließen]. Ich mag daran, dass die Botschaft ziemlich direkt ist: Schluss mit dem Leiden, ein bisschen Leichtigkeit, und dann darf die Freude ruhig über den Rand des Herzens schwappen.

«Alegria» er en varm oppmuntring til å tro på det gode, samtidig som man ikke stresser seg gjennom livet. Bildet av nymånen, «A lua nova atrai» [nymånen tiltrekker], kobles til tanken om at tro kan trekke fine ting nærmere. Men sangen er også direkte: «Tem que correr atrás» [man må gå etter det]. Så kommer den vennlige bremsen: «Mas pega leve, take it easy» [men ta det rolig, ta det med ro]. Det portugisiske uttrykket pega leve betyr omtrent å ikke presse for hardt. Sammen med «Mentalize» [se det for deg / tenk positivt] blir dette en enkel oppskrift: ha håp, gjør en innsats, men pust litt også.

For den som har «sofrido demais» [lidd for mye], sier sangen at tiden kan lege, og at musikken kan gjøre alt det gode i livet sterkere: «As ondas desse som vão amplificar» [bølgene fra denne lyden skal forsterke]. Så kommer refrenget som en liten energibølge: «Deixa invadir e transbordar seu coração com boas energias» [la det trenge inn og flyte over i hjertet ditt med gode energier]. Alegria betyr «glede», og her blir ordet gjentatt til det nesten føles som et rop alle kan synge med på. Det er en solrik tekst om å slippe gleden inn, la den «transbordar» [flyte over], og slutte å holde den tilbake.

“Alegria” propone una piccola filosofia solare: credere in ciò che si desidera e impegnarsi per ottenerlo, senza però trasformare la vita in una gara. La luna nuova “atrai, se a gente acreditar” [attira, se ci crediamo], mentre “tem que correr atrás” [bisogna darsi da fare] viene subito bilanciato da “pega leve, take it easy” [vai piano, prendila con calma]. È un bel contrasto: inseguire i propri obiettivi, sì, ma respirando e usando anche la mente, come suggerisce “mentalize” [visualizza, concentrati mentalmente].

Il cuore della canzone è un invito a lasciare spazio alla gioia. A chi ha sofferto, il tempo promette una cura: “o tempo faz curar” [il tempo fa guarire]. Poi la musica diventa quasi un’onda capace di amplificare “tudo de bom que há pra se viver” [tutto ciò che di bello c’è da vivere]. Il ritornello insiste, con energia contagiosa, su “deixa invadir e transbordar seu coração com boas energias” [lascia che la gioia invada e faccia traboccare il tuo cuore di buone energie]. “Transbordar” significa proprio superare il bordo, come un bicchiere troppo pieno: qui il cuore non deve trattenere la felicità, deve lasciarla uscire.

«Alegria» звучить як доброзичливе нагадування: мрій, вір у себе й роби кроки назустріч бажаному, але не виснажуйся. У рядку «A lua nova atrai, se a gente acreditar» [«Молодий місяць притягує, якщо ми віримо»] місяць стає символом надії та бажань. А фраза «Tem que correr atrás, mas pega leve, take it easy» [«Треба бігти за своїм, але не поспішай, сприймай легше»] чудово поєднує наполегливість із відпочинком. «Mentalize» [«Уявляй це, налаштовуй думки»] звучить майже як маленька щоденна порада.

Для тих, хто «sofreu demais» [«надто багато страждав»], час поступово приносить зцілення. Потім музика ніби підсилює все добре: «As ondas desse som vão amplificar tudo de bom que há pra se viver» [«Хвилі цього звуку посилять усе хороше, що є в житті»]. Центральний заклик пісні дуже простий і заразливий: «Deixa invadir e transbordar seu coração com boas energias» [«Дозволь радості увійти й переповнити твоє серце доброю енергією»]. Тут радість не треба ховати чи дозувати: нехай вона «invadir» [увійде] і «transbordar» [переллється через край].

„Alegria“ на Melim с Natiruts е като музикално напомняне да вървиш към хубавото, но без да се изтощаваш по пътя. Луната е нова и привлича желанията, ако вярваш в тях: „A lua nova atrai, se a gente acreditar“ [Новолунието привлича, ако повярваме]. След това идва практичният съвет „Tem que correr atrás“ [Трябва да го преследваш, да се бориш за него], веднага смекчен с „Mas pega leve, take it easy“ [Но не се насилвай, спокойно]. „Mentalize“ [Мисли съсредоточено за това, което искаш] звучи като кратка мантра, а английското take it easy прави посланието още по-непринудено.

За човек, който е страдал много, песента обещава време за изцеление: „o tempo faz curar“ [времето лекува]. После самата музика се превръща във вълни, които усилват всичко добро в живота. Припевът повтаря „Alegria“ [Радост] и кани тази радост да нахлуе и да прелее от сърцето като „boas energias“ [добри енергии]. Тук няма сложна загадка: стига вече със страданието, вярвай, действай, но по-леко, и остави радостта да се разпространи. Повторението „Ale-alegria“ е точно толкова заразително, колкото звучи.

Η νέα σελήνη ελκύει, αν πιστέψουμε
Πρέπει να το κυνηγήσεις
Μα χαλάρωσε, take it easy
Οραματίσου το

Το «Alegria» είναι μια μικρή, φωτεινή υπενθύμιση να κυνηγάς όσα θέλεις, χωρίς να ξεχνάς να αναπνέεις. Η εικόνα της νέας σελήνης ανοίγει το τραγούδι: «A lua nova atrai, se a gente acreditar» [η νέα σελήνη έλκει, αν το πιστέψουμε]. Μετά έρχεται μια πρακτική συμβουλή: «Tem que correr atrás» [πρέπει να το κυνηγήσεις], αλλά αμέσως μαλακώνει τον τόνο με το «pega leve, take it easy» [χαλάρωσε, μην το πιέζεις]. Το «mentalize» σημαίνει να το οραματιστείς και να το κρατήσεις στο μυαλό σου. Έχει κάτι χαριτωμένα άμεσο αυτή η συνταγή: προσπάθεια, πίστη και λίγο λιγότερο άγχος.

Για όποιον έχει υποφέρει πολύ, το τραγούδι λέει «o tempo faz curar» [ο χρόνος θεραπεύει] και προσθέτει «chega de sofrer» [φτάνει πια με τον πόνο]. Έπειτα, οι «ondas desse som» [τα κύματα αυτού του ήχου] δυναμώνουν «tudo de bom que há pra se viver» [όλα τα καλά που υπάρχουν για να ζήσουμε]. Στο ρεφρέν, η «Alegria» [χαρά] δεν μένει απλώς ως λέξη: «Deixa invadir e transbordar seu coração com boas energias» [άφησέ τη να μπει και να ξεχειλίσει την καρδιά σου με καλή ενέργεια]. Η επανάληψη του «ale-alegria» λειτουργεί σαν τραγουδιστή πρόσκληση: άφησε τη χαρά να γεμίσει χώρο, να σε φωτίσει και να ξεχειλίσει.

Az újhold vonz, ha hiszünk benne
Menni kell utána
De vedd lazán, take it easy
Képzeld el

Az „Alegria” egy könnyed, biztató dal arról, hogyan lehet újra helyet csinálni az élet jó dolgainak. A holdújítás képe reményt hoz: „A lua nova atrai, se a gente acreditar” [Az újhold vonz, ha hiszünk benne]. A következő sor, „Tem que correr atrás” [Utána kell menni, meg kell dolgozni érte], lendületet ad, de rögtön érkezik hozzá egy baráti fék is: „Mas pega leve, take it easy” [De csak lazán, nyugodtan]. A „mentalize” itt azt jelenti, hogy összpontosíts arra, amit szeretnél, és tartsd a fejedben a jó irányt. Szép, hogy a dal nem sürget folyamatosan: a célokért tenni kell, de közben nem kell szétfeszíteni magad.

Aki sokat szenvedett, annak „o tempo faz curar” [az idő gyógyít], a zene hullámai pedig felerősítik „tudo de bom que há pra se viver” [mindazt a jót, amit át lehet élni]. Ezután jön a refrén egyszerű, ragadós üzenete: „Deixa invadir e transbordar seu coração com boas energias” [Engedd, hogy elárassza és túlcsordítsa a szívedet a jó energia]. Az „alegria” portugálul öröm vagy vidámság, és a dal szinte szótagokra bontva ismételgeti, mintha maga az öröm kopogtatna az ajtón. A végén már nincs szükség sok magyarázatra: csak engedd be, hagyd túlcsordulni.

Alegria (Bucurie)
A lua nova atraí, se a gente acreditar
Tem que correr atrás
Mas pega leve, take it easy
Mentalize
Luna nouă atrage, dacă noi credem
Trebuie să alergi după visuri
Dar ia-o ușor, take it easy

„Alegria” pornește de la imaginea unei luni noi care atrage lucrurile bune atunci când crezi în ele: „A lua nova atrai, se a gente acreditar” [Luna nouă atrage, dacă noi credem]. Dar cântecul nu promite că dorințele apar singure. „Tem que correr atrás” [Trebuie să alergi după ele] este îndemnul direct, imediat îmblânzit de „Mas pega leve, take it easy” [Dar ia-o ușor, fără să te grăbești]. E o combinație simpatică între ambiție și pauză: fă-ți partea, apoi respiră și „mentalizează”, adică ține în minte direcția în care vrei să mergi.

Pentru cine a suferit mult, versul „o tempo faz curar” [timpul vindecă] aduce o promisiune simplă: „chega de sofrer” [gata cu suferința]. Apoi muzica devine aproape o forță care mărește binele: „As ondas desse som vão amplificar / Tudo de bom que há pra se viver” [Valurile acestui sunet vor amplifica tot ce e bun de trăit]. Refrenul repetă „Alegria” [Bucurie] ca pe o invitație foarte clară: las-o să intre și să umple inima cu energie bună. „Deixa invadir e transbordar seu coração com boas energias” [Las-o să pătrundă și să-ți reverse inima cu energii bune] nu vorbește despre o bucurie discretă, ci despre una care dă pe dinafară.

Alegria (Radost)
A lua nova atraí, se a gente acreditar
Tem que correr atrás
Mas pega leve, take it easy
Mentalize
Mladi mjesec privlači, ako vjerujemo
Moraš se potruditi
Al' polako, take it easy

„Alegria” je pjesma o tome da dobro raspoloženje treba pustiti u život, ali bez grozničave žurbe. Stih „A lua nova atrai, se a gente acreditar” [Mladi Mjesec privlači, ako vjerujemo] donosi pomalo čarobnu sliku: vjera i otvorenost mogu privući nešto novo. Odmah zatim pjesma postaje vrlo praktična: „Tem que correr atrás” [Treba krenuti za tim, potruditi se], ali uz prijateljski podsjetnik „Mas pega leve, take it easy” [Ali polako, bez pritiska]. Izraz pega leve doslovno znači „uzmi lagano”, a engleski take it easy ponavlja istu poruku. „Mentalize” [Zamisli to, usmjeri misli] poziva slušatelja da se usredotoči na ono dobro.

Za osobu koja je mnogo patila pjesma nudi jednostavnu, nježnu nadu: „o tempo faz curar” [vrijeme liječi]. Glazba zatim postaje poput valova koji pojačavaju sve lijepo što život nudi: „As ondas desse som vão amplificar / Tudo de bom que há pra se viver” [Valovi ovog zvuka pojačat će sve dobro što treba proživjeti]. Refren stalno vraća riječ „Alegria” [Radost] i poziva je da „invadir e transbordar seu coração com boas energias” [uđe u tvoje srce i prelije se iz njega dobrom energijom]. To je vedra, pomalo zarazna zapovijed: dosta patnje, udahni radost i pusti je da se prelije.
