Sobrenaturais translates to "supernatural". It's an intriguing and less common word in everyday Portuguese, making it stand out in the lyrics.

In the song, the singer expresses a desire to talk about "uns assuntos sobrenaturais" (some supernatural subjects) with a little bird. This word adds a touch of magic and wonder, hinting at a deeper, more mystical connection with nature and its creatures.

Have you ever felt so connected to nature that it felt like magic? Marisa Monte's "A Língua dos Animais" captures this feeling perfectly. The song is a beautiful celebration of the simple joys found outdoors. It paints a vivid picture with images of:

• "Gotas do céu" (Drops from the sky) that bring a garden to life
• "Ondas do mar" (Ocean waves) that murmur songs
• "Flores de luz" (Flowers of light) that decorate the morning

As the singer walks in the sun and steps on the grass, this deep connection to the world around them leads to a wonderful discovery. When they are alone and follow their instincts, they find they can understand a secret language: the "língua dos animais" (the language of the animals). It's a song about finding a magical, intuitive sense of belonging in the natural world, where you can even have a conversation with a bird about "supernatural subjects."
