Girassol Lyrics in English Alceu Valença

“Girassol” (Sunflower) whirls listeners into a bright Brazilian landscape where the sea, the sun, and irresistible romance all spin together. Alceu Valença repeats gira, gira (“spin, spin”) to mimic the way a sunflower follows the sun across the sky and the way dancers twirl in a summer street party. At the song’s center stands a captivating morena (brunette) with a sunflower in her hair and bold red lipstick. Her scent clings to the singer’s bedsheets, triggering both sweet nostalgia and a playful hunter’s pursuit whenever he steps outside.

The lyrics celebrate sunlight, longing, and carefree passion. The sea and the sun set the stage for a love that feels both wild and natural, like a “gata selvagem” (wild cat). Each refrain circles back to the same vibrant images, reminding us that attraction can be as simple and unstoppable as a sunflower turning toward the light. Dive into this track to feel the warmth of Brazil’s northeast coast and the dizzying thrill of a summer crush.
