É Sal Lyrics in English Matuê

É Sal plunges you into the sweltering streets of Fortal City (Fortaleza), where, ironically, the singer says it is “snowing.” That “snow” is a playful code for cocaine, and the whole track is packed with local slang that paints the everyday hustle of the coastal city’s underground scene. Matuê contrasts postcard-perfect beaches with the gritty reality of drug deals, quick getaways on motorbikes, and constant run-ins with the police. The hook “pivete, é sal” is a shouted warning to the young hustlers: stay sharp, the product is in, and danger is always close.

Throughout the lyrics, the narrator shifts between bravado and caution. He flashes his quadrada (slang for a pistol) “in a velvet outfit,” claims divine protection, and boasts about being “the terror of Pirambu,” yet he also reminds listeners that one wrong step can bring a sudden “susto” (scare). In short, the song is a high-energy snapshot of Fortaleza’s street life, mixing swagger, local color, and a clear sense of how fast the mood can flip from relaxed to deadly. It feels like a late-night ride through the city where the music is loud, the tension is real, and survival depends on keeping your eyes wide open.
