Verse 1
I've tried to understand the mysteries
God and the world and the names of things
And none of that has as many secrets as you
I've seen the sky and decorated stained-glass windows
The synchrony of fish in the water
You, strangely, keep being more beautiful
I want to live a love that poets envy
I want to die in your eyes and mouths and ears
To swear in the saints' name promises for us to break
I want to tell São Paulo that I love you
Verse 2
I tasted the salt of sweat and tears
I switched my honey sauce for pepper
And my tongue still prefers your taste
And on my face a request is pretty clear
Why don't you date me?
I've never been as happy as now
I want to live a love that poets envy
I want to die in your eyes and mouths and ears
To swear in the saints' name promises for us to break
I want to tell São Paulo that I love you
To have in my hands the possibility of making you dream
Higher, imagining a foolproof plan for both of us, for both of us
I want to live a love that poets envy
I want to die in your eyes and mouths and ears
To swear in the saints' name promises for us to break
I want to tell São Paulo that I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you
I love you, love you, love you

SONG MEANING

Quero Contar Pra São Paulo is a radiant love confession where the singer places her beloved above every marvel she has ever known. She compares this person to stained-glass heavens, synchronized fish in clear water, and even the grand mysteries of faith and the universe. Nothing, she insists, is as captivating as the one she loves. With playful audacity she dreams of a romance so intense that poets would envy it, promising exaggerated vows they might never keep, just for the thrill of feeling everything at full volume.

The chorus turns that private passion into a public announcement: she wants to tell the entire city of São Paulo that she is in love. From tasting salty tears and sweat to swapping sweet honey for fiery pepper, every sensory image highlights how deeply this relationship has transformed her. The song celebrates a love that is fearless, loud, and larger than life, daring both lovers to imagine impossible plans and reach for higher dreams together. In short, it is an invitation to love boldly and shout it from the rooftops—especially the rooftops of Brazil’s biggest city.
