Pra te espiar
Eu dou a volta no seu muro
Eu pulo seu muro
Pra te encontrar
Eu dou a volta no seu mundo
Eu mudo meu mundo
Faço o que quiser de brincadeira
Carrossel no céu, selva branca
Ai ai ai ai
E nascer em cada estrela a novidade
Que o muro do seu mundo era saudade
Porque não dizer, posso derreter (porque não dizer)
Um moranguinho no copinho
Esperando por você oh uoh uoh oh
Quanto mais sorvete
Quero seu calor
Quanto mais desejo de amor
Quanto mais desejo
Quero seu calor
Quanto mais sorvete de amor
Quanto mais sorvete
Quero seu calor
Quanto mais desejo de amor
Quanto mais desejo
Quero seu calor
Quanto mais sorvete de amor
Joga no chao, no chao, no chao
Faço o que quiser de brincadeira
Carrossel no céu, selva branca
Vi nascer em cada estrela a novidade
Vi que o muro do seu mundo era saudade
Porque não dizer, posso derreter (porque não dizer)
Um moranguinho no copinho
Esperando, bora incendiar macaco gordo aí, vai vai vai
Quanto mais sorvete
Quero seu calor
Quanto mais desejo de amor
Quanto mais desejo
Quero seu calor
Quanto mais sorvete de amor
Quanto mais sorvete
Quero seu calor
Quanto mais desejo de amor
Quanto mais desejo
Quero seu calor
Quanto mais sorvete de amor
The lyrics of "Selva Branca" by Claudia Leitte and Macaco Gordo speak of the desire to be with someone, even if it requires jumping over walls and exploring new worlds. The singer expresses their willingness to play and have fun, imagining themselves on a carousel in the sky amidst a white jungle. The repetition of the phrase "quanto mais" (the more) highlights the intensity of their longing to be with their loved one, and how they are willing to melt and give in to their desires.
The mention of a strawberry in a cup waiting for the other person is a metaphor for their longing and anticipation for the other's presence. The phrase "esperando por você" (waiting for you) emphasizes this desire. The song ends with a call to let loose and throw oneself to the ground, suggesting a feeling of freedom and abandonment.
Overall, "Selva Branca" conveys a sense of playful and joyful yearning for love, while also highlighting the obstacles and determination required to overcome them.
Pra te espiarEu dou a volta no seu muroEu pulo seu muro
To spy on you, I circle your wall and jump over it
Pra te encontrarEu dou a volta no seu mundoEu mudo meu mundo
To find you, I travel the globe and change myself
Faço o que quiser de brincadeiraCarrossel no céu, selva branca
I play freely, riding a carousel in the sky, in a white jungle
Ai ai ai aiE nascer em cada estrela a novidadeQue o muro do seu mundo era saudadePorque não dizer, posso derreter (porque não dizer)
Oh oh oh oh, and discover something new in every star, that the walls of your world were made of longing, why not say it, I can melt (why not say it)
Um moranguinho no copinhoEsperando por você oh uoh uoh oh
A little strawberry in a cup, waiting for you
Quanto mais sorveteQuero seu calorQuanto mais desejo de amor
The more ice cream I have, the more I crave your warmth and love
Joga no chao, no chao, no chao
Throw it on the ground, on the ground, on the ground
Vi nascer em cada estrela a novidadeVi que o muro do seu mundo era saudadePorque não dizer, posso derreter (porque não dizer)
I saw something new in every star, and realized that the walls of your world were made of longing, why not say it, I can melt (why not say it)
Um moranguinho no copinhoEsperando, bora incendiar macaco gordo aí, vai vai vai
A little strawberry in a cup, waiting, let's ignite Macaco Gordo (a person?), let's go go go
