The whole jungle lit up
And I only remember
The light that was yours and not electric
The air that escaped me with each syllable
I got lost in your quantum talk
You consumed me with that cynical look
And I watched with my nearsighted eye
I tried to fit into your logic
How many encounters fit in a life?
How many lives to live?
How much ground to walk?
How many suns will we see rise?
Worlds will crumble
Cures will emerge
And the two of us here
Your intoxicated cadence
I understand
I entrusted you with my karmic beliefs
You sang your doubt to me
Your skeptical side, my mystical wave
I fantasized about your most intimate place
I answered you in my wettest place
We built bridges over liquid loves
How many encounters fit in a life?
How many lives to live?
How much ground to walk?
How many suns will we see rise?
Worlds will crumble
Cures will emerge
And the two of us here
How many encounters fit in a life?
How many lives to live?
How much ground to walk?
How many suns will we see rise?
Worlds will crumble
Cures will emerge
And the two of us here

cármicaskarmic

Cármicas translates to "karmic," referring to beliefs or actions related to karma. It's a less common word in everyday Portuguese and stands out in song lyrics.

In "Selva," the line "Te confiei as minhas crenças cármicas" (I entrusted you with my karmic beliefs) suggests a deep level of intimacy and vulnerability. The speaker is sharing profound, spiritual convictions with another person, highlighting a significant connection beyond the superficial.

Selva ("Jungle") describes a love so intense it feels like its own ecosystem, a world lit by its own light instead of anything electric.

The verses lean into that image: a light that only the other person could give, air that slipped away with every word, a way of talking so unfamiliar it felt like "quantum talk" the singer could barely keep up with. Even a flaw, being nearsighted, becomes part of the wonder of watching someone so closely.

The chorus zooms out and turns almost philosophical, asking how many encounters, how many lives, how many sunrises a love like this could possibly need. It treats the relationship as something bigger than ordinary time.

By the final verses, two very different people, one grounded and skeptical, one dreamy and intuitive, still find each other, building bridges over everything that could pull them apart.
