Sei Lá is Jade Baraldo’s gentle pep-talk to anyone who hides their sadness behind a “mask of coldness.” Speaking as a caring friend, the Brazilian singer paints vivid images: a heavy stone crushing your spirit, a shadowy “creature” that wilts your inner flower, and an ocean of sorrow that threatens to pull you under. Yet the message is anything but gloomy. With every line she urges you to reignite the sparkle in your eyes, to remember the “many beautiful things” you have to give, and to trust that this bad tide will eventually roll away.
The repeated phrase sei lá (Portuguese for “I don’t know”) captures that frustrating mystery of where sadness comes from. Instead of offering easy answers, Jade offers companionship, hope, and a reminder that pain is temporary. By the end, the song feels like a warm hug: it invites you to let the weight drop, let the creature die, and step back into your own radiant light. A soulful blend of vulnerability and encouragement, Sei Lá turns personal struggle into a universal call to heal and shine.
