Santa Vaidade Lyrics in English Bryan Behr
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Santa Vaidade by Bryan Behr from Portuguese to English.
A beleza quando é crua
Beauty when it's raw
Não tem a cara de ninguém
Doesn't look like anyone
Não tem forma nem figura
Has no form or figure
Não tem peso nem altura
Has no weight or height
Só tem a beleza que tem
It just has the beauty it has
Estavam vendendo vaidade
They were selling vanity
Em outdoors pela avenida
On billboards along the avenue
Vendiam saudade nos bares, é
They sold longing in bars, yeah
Amor em copos de bebida
Love in drink glasses
Ah o que acontece se eu fechar
Oh what happens if I close
Os meus olhos agora?
My eyes now?
Ah beleza bonita aquela
Oh, that beautiful kind of beauty
Que o tempo não leva embora
That time doesn't take away
A beleza quando é nua
Beauty when it's naked
Não vale sequer um vintém
Isn't worth even a penny
Não se põe preço na doçura
You don't put a price on the sweetness
De ser feliz com o que se tem
Of being happy with what you have
Estavam vendendo vaidade
They were selling vanity
Rolando as fotos por aí
Scrolling through photos around
Meu deus, seu postar a verdade
My God, if I post the truth
Será que alguém vai me curtir?
Will anyone like me?
Ah o que acontece se eu fechar
Oh what happens if I close
Os meus olhos agora?
My eyes now?
Ah beleza bonita aquela
Oh, that beautiful kind of beauty
Que o tempo não leva embora
That time doesn't take away
Ah o que acontece se eu fechar
Oh what happens if I close
Os meus olhos agora?
My eyes now?
Ah beleza bonita aquela
Oh, that beautiful kind of beauty
Que o tempo não leva embora
That time doesn't take away
Ah o que acontece se eu fechar
Oh what happens if I close
Os meus olhos agora?
My eyes now?
Ah beleza bonita aquela
Oh, that beautiful kind of beauty
Que o tempo não leva embora, yeah
That time doesn't take away, yeah

The lyrics mention "vendendo vaidade em outdoors" (selling vanity on billboards) and "Santa Vaidade" (Holy Vanity), highlighting how vanity is marketed and almost worshipped. It's a thought-provoking word that encourages reflection on self-worth beyond external appearances.
