In Na Pele ("On the Skin"), Elza Soares and Pitty invite you to look closely—straight into their eyes and across every curve of their faces. The singer points out her shallow, frayed smile and the young yet hard-won wrinkles that line her skin, daring the listener to judge whether she has truly seen nothing or, in fact, lived everything. What may appear as silence or disguise is actually a quiet archive of adventures, escapes, and raw emotions that words can barely contain.
At the heart of the lyrics runs a powerful image: life as water, forever carving winding channels through the "riverbed" of the skin. Each wrinkle becomes a tributary, each scar a valley, all testifying to resilience and survival. Rather than hiding these marks, Elza and Pitty celebrate them as living maps of struggle, endurance, and unapologetic pride. The song is a bold anthem encouraging us to embrace our own visible and invisible stories—because every line on the skin is proof that the river of life is still flowing.
