Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Preta by ANAVITÓRIA from Portuguese to English.

Verse 1

When I call you

Don't hold back

Verse 1

I wanna see you coming real slowly

See your walk winning all my affection

Be the reason there's only a smile on your face

Oh, babe

I'm glad you exist

To know me and take care of me

If it's sad here

And teach that no means no

And life really is better when you give love

If by chance I tell you

That my secret is staying a secret for you

Would that change the wanting inside you?

I won't risk losing your love

I don't know

It's just that this life without living

In your calm

Shouldn't have any fun

My prayer is for you to unravel me

I'll tell you

It's foolish letting time beat us

Verse 2

Whenever you want

I'm waiting for you here

Verse 2

I've already made a list of everything you like

I've already forgotten the gestures you don't approve of

I can even pretend I really know how to cook

Oh, babe

I'm glad you exist

To know me and take care of me

If it's sad here

And teach that no means no

And life really is better when you give love

If by chance I tell you

That my secret is staying a secret for you

Would that change the wanting inside you?

I won't risk losing your love

I don't know

It's just that this life without living

In your calm

Shouldn't have any fun

My prayer is for you to unravel me

I'll tell you

It's foolish letting time beat us

Baby

The sky's right there to adorn you

There's no weight on someone who came to love

There's no choice when it's the heart that speaks

Baby

There's no problem if it hurts

Let me stay close to make it pass

There's nothing wrong if it's what makes you happy

SONG MEANING

In Preta, Brazilian duo ANAVITÓRIA paint a sweet, almost whispered declaration of love. The singer calls her beloved “pretinha” and invites her to arrive “bem devagarinho” – very slowly – so every step can be showered with affection. The lyrics glow with gratitude: the narrator feels lucky that this person exists, because she teaches boundaries ("não é não") while also proving that life gets brighter when love is freely given.

Dig a little deeper and the song is a playful promise of devotion. The narrator is willing to keep secrets, learn to cook, and even rewrite old habits just to see the other smile. There is no fear of vulnerability; if it hurts, they will stay close until the pain fades. Preta celebrates the courage to love openly, the joy of small gestures, and the belief that time is only wasted when it steals moments that could be shared together.
