Menino Da Mamã Lyrics in English by Piruka
Escorra comes from the verb escorrer, meaning 'to drain' or 'to flow'. It's a vivid and somewhat intense word that isn't found in every song, making it memorable.
In the lyrics, Piruka sings, "Me'mo que o sangue me escorra pelas mãos, continuas cá" (Even if the blood drains from my hands, you're still here). This powerful imagery emphasizes the depth of his mother's unwavering presence and support, even in the most dire circumstances.
Piruka's "Menino Da Mamã" is a heartfelt shout-out to his mom, making it clear that no matter what, she's his constant. He sings, "Eu sou menino da mamã" [I am mama's boy], and it's a theme he repeats throughout the song. Even if he leaves today, he knows he can always come back tomorrow, and her house will always feel like home: "Será sempre em tua casa que eu vou encontrar um lar" [It will always be in your house that I will find a home].
He acknowledges her sacrifices and the priceless nature of what she does, even saying he'd "pintava o céu d'outra cor" [paint the sky another color] for her. It's a powerful declaration of love and gratitude, especially when he mentions, "Nunca tive pai presente" [I never had a father present], making his bond with his mother even more central to his life. This song is all about that unbreakable connection and the comfort of knowing she's always there, no matter what.
