Leão Lyrics in English Xamã , Marília Mendonça

Home / Lyrics Translation / Xamã / Leão

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Leão by Xamã from Portuguese to English.

But if you want to look at me

Like an unexplained painting

I'm on a lunar jet

In the capital of São Sebastião

May the morning sun dissolve you

Your vampire from slapstick movies

But who will judge us?

I'm your tousled lion

I know you understand me well

You always run away when you date

If you don't love anyone

Why are you listening to me now?

You're beautiful, so crazy, my Mona Lisa

Take off my clothes, fascinate me

Assassinate me, kiss me on the mouth

My woman, girl

Teach me to live wildly, your eyes like a pool

Drown me and give me mouth-to-mouth, renew my rhyme

Come with a fork because today is soup, girl

But if you want to stay

I'll pretend and grab your hand

Private villain

I'm a bluff from an action movie

If I step on this stage here

It was God who created me like this

And the spotlights come to me

It's because I love you and I don't even tell you

No, I can't be your saint

I'm a fact or a hypothesis

I'm a king, gypsy, or nomad

Sorry for my sovereign way

But today I sing for you

And I sing for you

I know you want me too

Marília, hot lioness

Can I call you, my dear

What are you doing now?

So beautiful, so crazy, my great friend

After you, the others are different, you know

Let's make love, sing old country songs

And kiss on the mouth, love

Maybe you won't give me attention

Until you see me in space at the newsstand

But if you want to look at me

Like an unexplained painting

I'm on a lunar jet

In the capital of São Sebastião

SONG MEANING

Leão throws you straight into a cosmic love chase where swagger meets sincerity. Xamã steps onto the scene as a "despenteado leão" ‒ a lion with messy hair and even messier feelings ‒ cruising in a lunar jet over São Sebastião. Between vampire jokes and movie-style bravado, he confesses a raw craving for connection: he is not a saint, not even sure if he is king, gypsy or nomad, yet all spotlights point to one thing, his desire to be truly seen and loved. The lyrics leap from surreal images to street-smart quips, painting romance as both a blockbuster stunt and an intimate whisper.

When Marília Mendonça enters, the duet flips into playful mutual teasing. She is the irresistible “leoa gostosa,” and together they mix rap flow with sertanejo heartache, proving that passion can be intense, humorous, and a bit chaotic all at once. Underneath the flirty banter lies a deeper message: fame, fantasy, and tough-guy poses cannot hush the simple need to hold someone’s hand. Leão is a vibrant reminder that even the most confident roar hides a soft spot eager for a genuine embrace.
