Menta Lyrics in English David Carreira , Djodje
Saudades is one of the most famous and unique words in the Portuguese language, often considered untranslatable with a single English word. It describes a deep emotional state of nostalgic longing for something or someone that is absent.
In the song, David Carreira sings, "Sinto saudades do teu perfume" (I feel longing for your perfume). This line beautifully captures the essence of missing someone so intensely that even their scent evokes a powerful sense of yearning, making it a truly captivating word for learners.
Feel the chill of a mint-flavoured kiss and the heat of a tropical night. “Menta” pairs Portuguese pop star David Carreira with Cape-Verdean singer Djodje for an irresistibly fresh love song where every beat celebrates a dizzying crush. One touch of her lips “congela” the heart, yet the music is pure summer warmth, an addictive blend of kizomba, pop and Afro-beat that makes you want to sway till sunrise.
Beneath the catchy hook lies a simple but powerful story: a man so smitten he can’t think of anything else. He dreams of waking up beside her, dancing by the ocean on Sal Island, and planning a lifetime together. Mistakes and doubts melt away; her perfume, her smile and that minty kiss make him a willing “refém” (prisoner) of love. “Menta” is a reminder that the right person can freeze time, spark goosebumps and turn an ordinary night into an unforgettable escapade.
