As the poet says
What can a creature do but
Among creatures, love?
What can, I ask
The loving being
In universal rotation, do but
Spin as well, and love?
Love
Today I asked myself
What's behind
Those green eyes of yours
Those green eyes of yours
Today I asked myself
What's behind
Those green eyes of yours
Those green eyes of yours
Love, come call me
With those eyes
I wait to love you
And that kiss you promised me
I'm still waiting
In slow time
In your orbit, hovering through the air
And that moon you promised me
Come here, I'll give it to you, aah-aah
My love nice and slow
Slowly
I wanna give you, aah-aah
My love nice and slow
Slowly
Today I asked myself
What's behind
Those green eyes of yours
Those green eyes of yours
Today I asked myself
What's behind
Those green eyes of yours
Till it arrives
I wait for you, I surrender
My body in your gaze
For when all this turns to night
And we can finally meet
And our bodies free like the sea
And that moon you promised me
Come here, I'll give it to you, aah-aah
My love nice and slow
Slowly
I wanna give you, aah-aah
My love nice and slow
Slowly
I wanna give you, aah-aah
My love nice and slow
Slowly
I wanna give you, aah-aah
My love nice and slow
Slowly
I wanna give you, aah-aah
My love nice and slow
Slowly
I wanna give you, aah-aah
My love nice and slow
Slowly

SONG MEANING

“Devagarinho” feels like a warm sunset over the beaches of Bahia. Gilsons - the trio descended from Brazilian music legend Gilberto Gil - blend gentle samba-soul grooves with the smoky voice of Mariana Volker and a spoken cameo by iconic actress Fernanda Montenegro. Right from the borrowed verse of Brazilian poet Carlos Drummond de Andrade, the song places love in a vast, starry universe. If “all a creature can do among other creatures is love,” then the singers choose to spin in that cosmic choreography, inviting us to listen, sway and feel.

The lyrics orbit around someone’s mesmerizing green eyes and the patient promise of a slow-burn romance. The narrator wonders what hidden galaxies lie behind that gaze, waits for a long-promised kiss and even offers the moon - but only when the time is right. “Devagarinho” means “slowly,” and the track celebrates savoring affection at an unhurried pace, like letting waves lap at your feet. Love here is gentle, deliberate and vast, echoing the rhythm of tides and celestial cycles. Press play, relax your shoulders and let the song teach you how to fall in love one soft beat at a time.
