I have the Italian body
Birth in Brazil
The Lusitanian soul
African Matria
And in everything I do I am
No more than an impostor
I live in the world of the moon
But I cross deserts
Being that I prefer the seas
Part of Jewish blood
A name that is not only mine
And the belief in joy as proof of the nine
I have an Italian body
Birth in Brazil
The Lusitanian soul
African Matria
And in everything I do I am
No more than an impostor
I live in the world of the moon
But I cross deserts
Being that I prefer the seas
Part of Jewish blood
A name that is not only mine
And the belief in joy as proof of the nine

Impostora translates to "imposter" or "fraud". It's an intriguing word that immediately sparks curiosity about why the singer would describe herself this way.

In the song, Adriana Calcanhotto uses it to reflect on her multifaceted identity, suggesting that despite her diverse heritage and experiences, she sometimes feels like an imposter in her own life. This self-aware and somewhat vulnerable admission makes the word particularly engaging and memorable.

Have you ever felt like you're a mix of many different places and cultures? In "Prova Dos Nove," Brazilian artist Adriana Calcanhotto explores this very idea. She describes a rich and complex identity, tracing her roots across the globe:

  • An Italian body
  • A birth in Brazil
  • A Portuguese soul
  • An African motherland
  • Jewish blood

With so many influences, she sometimes feels like an "impostora" (impostor), as if she doesn't perfectly fit into any single category. It's a song about celebrating a unique heritage that is made of many wonderful parts.

Beyond her background, the singer reveals she's a dreamer who "vivo no mundo da lua" (lives on the moon), yet she is strong enough to cross deserts, even if she prefers the sea. The song's title, which means "Proof of Nines," comes from a math trick used to check if a calculation is correct. For her, the ultimate test of a life well-lived is simple: joy. She holds a "crença na alegria como prova dos nove" (belief in joy as the proof of nines), suggesting that happiness is the true measure of everything.
