Menina Solta Lyrics in English Giulia Be

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Menina Solta by Giulia Be from Portuguese to English.
You’re gonna have to get over it ah ah ah
You’re gonna have to get over it ah ah ah
That free girl
She was from Barra
And he was from Ipanema
They went to watch the championship
Over in Saquarema
Thinking it'd turn out good
But it only caused trouble
Only caused trouble
The girl showed up huge
Loaded with schemes
The kid was in love and she was totally chill
He wanted love
And she only felt pity
While he slept
Little did he know
That down on the sand
Somebody else calls her mermaid
That free girl
That free girl
While he slept
Little did he know
And back at her place
She’d sit and choose
Whoever she wanted
That free girl
He’s gonna have to get over it
He’s gonna have to get over it
That free girl
That free girl
He’s gonna have to get over it
He’s gonna have to get over it
That free girl
That free girl
Saquarema was hot, and she was ice-cold
Saying she was heading to a party she wasn’t even gonna go to
Even after getting stood up he didn’t quit
Clinging to the moments they once shared
Clueless about the mess he was getting into
Crazy, not understanding the game she played
GO GIRL!
While he slept
Little did he know
That down on the sand
Somebody else calls her mermaid
That free girl
That free girl
While he slept
Little did he know
And back at her place
She’d sit and choose
Whoever she wanted
That free girl
He’s gonna have to get over it
He’s gonna have to get over it
That free girl
That free girl
He’s gonna have to get over it
He’s gonna have to get over it
That free girl
That free girl
Soon enough he
Who found it hard to fall in love
Him of all people!
He’s gonna have to get over it
He’s gonna have to get over it
He’s gonna have to get over it
He’s gonna have to get over it
That free girl
That free girl
That free girl

SONG MEANING

“Menina Solta” (“Free-spirited Girl”) drops us straight onto the warm beaches of Rio de Janeiro, where a guy from chic Ipanema falls head-over-heels for a laid-back girl from Barra. They meet at a surf contest in Saquarema, but while he’s dreaming of romance, she’s busy living her best life: choosing partners like seashells in the sand and slipping away to new adventures while he’s asleep. The song playfully shows the clash between his hopes for commitment and her taste for freedom, wrapping the story in breezy guitar riffs and catchy hooks.

At its core, the track celebrates female independence and modern dating realities. The menina solta is not cruel—she’s simply unapologetically herself, reminding listeners that everyone has the right to set their own rhythm in love. His lesson? Sometimes you have to “superar” (get over) someone who was never meant to stay, and let them keep dancing to their own carefree beat.
