Sinais De Fogo Lyrics in English Preta Gil

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Sinais De Fogo by Preta Gil from Portuguese to English.
When you see me I watch a spark ignite
That flame once again
So why hide, you must know
How much you love me
What distance will keep our longing
Where will I find you again
Send fire signals
So you can see me
When I saw you, when I met you
I didn't wanna believe in loneliness
Or too much in the two of us
So I wouldn't freak out
I get dressed, I adorn myself, I fix myself
I question my mirror
Mirror where I look at myself
So you can see me
Why don't you look me in the face
You stay in that pass-or-not
What's missing is courage
You chased me in Guanabara
Me looking for you through Lapa
We lost the trip
When you see me I watch a spark ignite
That flame once again
So why hide, you must know
How much you love me
What distance will keep our longing
Where will I find you again
Send fire signals
So you can see me
When I saw you, when I met you
I didn't wanna believe in loneliness
Or too much in the two of us
So I wouldn't freak out
I get dressed, I adorn myself, I fix myself
I question my mirror
Mirror where I look at myself
So you can see me
Why don't you look me in the face
You stay in that pass-or-not
What's missing is courage
You chased me in Guanabara
Me looking for you through Lapa
We lost the trip
And when you see me I watch it ignite
That flame once again
So why hide, you must know
How much you love me
What distance will keep our longing
Where will I find you again
Send fire signals
So you can see me

SONG MEANING

Sinais de Fogo lights up the dance floor with the irresistible push and pull of two people who just cannot hide their chemistry. Every time their eyes meet, Preta Gil feels that old spark burst into flame again, making her wonder why her crush keeps playing hide-and-seek with their feelings. The chorus is a playful dare: if the other person would only look at her “cara a cara,” they would admit what everyone else can see… love is blazing between them.

As the verses wander through famous Rio spots like Guanabara Bay and the nightlife hub of Lapa, the song turns into a cinematic chase. She is dressed to impress, checking herself in the mirror, while he circles the city trying to be brave enough to meet her gaze. Those “sinais de fogo” (fire signals) are her flirty SOS, calling him to stop the mixed signals and start a real connection. It is a vibrant anthem of confidence, longing, and the electric thrill of love that is so close you can almost touch the heat.
