Maraisa

My mom already warned me to get rid of it

I wanted to dedicate this one to my friend Maraisa

There's no basis, nor amount

There's no day, nor week

For me to fall into the arms

Of my Goiana love

In Trindade I met

A charming girl

Born in Goiatuba

Raised in Pontalina

When I fell in love with her

My disappointment was great

Overcome by longing

I looked in all the cities

Of the Goian Midwest

There's no basis, nor amount

There's no day, nor week

For me to fall into the arms

Of my Goiana love

I looked for my love

In dear Itajá

In Mineiros and Caçu

Bom Jesus and Iporá

Rio Verde and Jataí

Doverlândia and Caiapônia

From the much-missed Paulo Lopes

Santa Helena and Quirinópolis

Aragarças and Britânia

There's no basis, nor amount

There's no day, nor week

For me to fall into the arms

Of my Goiana love

I looked in Aporé

In Itarumã I passed through

In Jussara I heard news

Of the eyes I adored

In Bom Jardim it ended

My tyrannical route

And I returned to Itumbiara

Bringing the rarest jewel

Of the Goian Midwest

There's no basis, nor amount

There's no day, nor week

For me to fall into the arms

Of my Goiana love

desengano — disillusionment

Desengano translates to "disillusionment" or "disappointment." It's a strong and evocative word that captures a sense of unexpected letdown or the shattering of an illusion.

In the song, the singer uses it to describe the profound disappointment experienced after falling in love with the girl, only to be separated from her. The line "Foi grande meu desengano" (My disillusionment was great) highlights the emotional impact of this separation, making it a powerful and memorable word in the context of the song's narrative.

"Paixão Goiana" is Maiara & Maraisa's tribute to their home state, Goiás, sung with Marília Mendonça as a guest verse. The song turns a love story into a road map: the singer goes town to town across the state — "Em Trindade conheci / Um encanto de menina" ("In Trindade I met / An enchanting girl") — chasing someone as elusive as she is unforgettable.

Every chorus insists there is no shortcut to her: "Não tem base, nem quantia / Não tem dia, nem semana / Para eu cair nos braços / Da minha paixão goiana" ("There's no basis, nor amount / No day, nor week / For me to fall into the arms / Of my Goiás passion"). The verses keep naming real towns — Goiatuba, Pontalina, Mineiros, Rio Verde, Jataí — as if the whole state were the search radius for one impossible crush.
