What is the meaning of Tá Lá Lyrics from Chamas?
Lurdes Miranda addresses her critics directly. She lists her successes, like a house and a car, before shutting down gossip about her family life and personal losses. She delivers her confident reply, telling them to ‘just mind your own business, don’t stress me out’ (Cuida maze da tua vida, não me aquece a cabeça).
Cabelo Ta laMy hair is done.
Unha Ta laMy nails are done.
Também trabalhamosWe work hard, too,
Também vamos a se mimarso we are going to pamper ourselves.
tamo a se pilharWe are dressing to impress,
tamo a se investir (2x)we are investing in ourselves. (x2)
Dizem que eu vivo de aparênciaThey say I live for appearances,
Querem ver sofrenciathey just want to see me suffer.
Mas querem ser como euBut they want to be like me,
Ter marido como meuand have a husband like mine.
Não preciso provar nada a ninguémI don’t need to prove anything to anyone,
Tenho casa, tenho carro, dinheiro na conta tambémI have a house, a car, and money in the bank, too.
Quando perdi a minha filha, minha avòWhen I lost my daughter, and my grandmother,
Você que criticouyou were the one who criticized me.
Não me afetouIt didn’t affect me,
Ela se chupoushe just swallowed her own words.
Cuida maze da tua vida, não me aquece a cabeçaJust mind your own business, don’t stress me out.
Estas a me cansar a belezaYou are exhausting my beauty,
Não pões comida na minha mesayou don’t put food on my table.
Cuida maze da tua vida, não me aquece a cabeçaJust mind your own business, don’t stress me out.
Estas a me cansar a belezaYou are exhausting my beauty,
Não pões comida na minha mesayou don’t put food on my table.
Cabelo Ta laMy hair is done.
Unha Ta laMy nails are done.
Também trabalhamosWe work hard, too,
Também vamos a se mimarso we are going to pamper ourselves.
tamo a se pilharWe are dressing to impress,
tamo a se investir (2x)we are investing in ourselves. (x2)
Minha vida deu um salto tão altoMy life took such a massive leap,
hoje estou tão em cima que duvidam do passadotoday I’m so high up that they doubt my past.
so me veem em showThey only see me at shows,
estou mais rara que o cabelo do caladoI’m rarer than hair on a bald man’s head.
se apareço não demoro tipo dinheiro do roubadoIf I show up, I don’t stay long, just like stolen money.
desde o ano no club sem ser tagI’ve been in the club all year without being tagged,
mas eu tenho doçura na granabut my money is so sweet,
mais doçura que canasweeter than sugarcane.
a fama não me sobe, eu e que subo a famaFame doesn’t control me, I’m the one who elevates it.
mudei de estilo porque coço e porque quero, porque possoI changed my style because I hustle, because I want to, and because I can.
múltiplos talentos difícil de conceber, com rimas pesadas difícil de perceberI have multiple talents that are hard to grasp, dropping heavy rhymes that are hard to comprehend.
sou uma estrela na rua, submissa em casa, mana não segue bala, feminista não casaI’m a star on the streets, but traditional at home. Sister, don’t follow the hype, feminists don’t get married.
nos focamos no hustle e mimamos o bary, aquecemos a street e partimos a partyWe focus on the hustle and pamper our bodies, we heat up the streets and tear down the party.
o que tenho eu sonhei, o que sonho viraEverything I have, I dreamed of, and my dreams become reality.
o que faço nos show, salario de um PCAWhat I make at a show is the salary of a CEO.
Cabelo Ta laMy hair is done.
Unha Ta laMy nails are done.
Também trabalhamosWe work hard, too,
Também vamos a se mimarso we are going to pamper ourselves.
tamo a se pilharWe are dressing to impress,
tamo a se investir (2x)we are investing in ourselves. (x2)
