Pipa Voada Lyrics in English Rashid , Emicida, Lukinhas
Rabiola literally translates to "kite tail". It's a specific and somewhat playful word that isn't commonly found in everyday conversation or many song lyrics.
In the context of "Pipa Voada" (Flying Kite), the word rabiola is particularly interesting because the entire song uses the metaphor of a kite to describe freedom, love, and life. The artist sings, "Eu vou cortar você na mão e aparar pela rabiola," which is a clever double entendre. It refers to the act of cutting a kite string and trimming its tail, but also playfully suggests a romantic pursuit, making it a unique and memorable word in the song.
Pipa Voada paints the picture of a love so uplifting that it turns the singer into a runaway kite, free in the open sky. Rashid compares his spirit to a pipa (kite) that has just been “given line” – the slack on the string that lets it climb higher and higher. Over a lively hip-hop beat he jokes about pop icons, big city hustle and even NASA satellites, all to show how far this feeling of freedom can travel. The romance is playful, full of quick-fire cultural references, yet it is also spiritual, hinting that soaring in love can feel like getting closer to the divine.
When Emicida and Lukinhas join in, the mood becomes even brighter. They describe courage born from a partner’s smile, a wind so sweet it makes every worry disappear. Together the rappers celebrate a bond that is leve mas indestrutível – light but unbreakable – capable of lifting two ordinary people far above the impossible. In short, the song is an ode to love that lets you dream big, glide over everyday struggles and cruise the sky with nothing but joy on the horizon.
