Poder Da Criaçao Lyrics in English João Nogueira
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Poder Da Criaçao by João Nogueira from Portuguese to English.
Viva o samba
Long live samba
Viva o samba
Long live samba
Não
No
Ninguém faz samba só porque prefere
Nobody makes samba just because they prefer to
Força nenhuma no mundo interfere
No force in the world interferes
Sobre o poder da criação
With the power of creation
Não
No
Não precisa se estar nem feliz nem aflito
One doesn't need to be happy or distressed
Nem se refugiar em lugar mais bonito
Nor take refuge in a more beautiful place
Em busca da inspiração
In search of inspiration
Não, ela é uma luz que chega de repente
No, it's a light that arrives suddenly
Com a rapidez de uma estrela cadente
With the speed of a shooting star
Que acende a mente e o coração
That lights up the mind and the heart
É, faz pensar
Yes, it makes one think
Que existe uma força maior que nos guia
That there's a greater force that guides us
Que está no ar
That's in the air
Vem no meio da noite ou no claro do dia
It comes in the middle of the night or in broad daylight
Chega a nos angustiar
It even distresses us
E o poeta se deixa levar por essa magia
And the poet lets himself be carried away by this magic
E um verso vem vindo e vem vindo uma melodia
And a verse is coming and a melody is coming
E o povo começa a cantar
And the people begin to sing
Lalaialá
Lalaialá
Não
No
Ninguém faz samba só porque prefere
Nobody makes samba just because they prefer to
Força nenhuma no mundo interfere
No force in the world interferes
Sobre o poder da criação
With the power of creation
Não
No
Não precisa se estar nem feliz nem aflito
One doesn't need to be happy or distressed
Nem se refugiar em lugar mais bonito
Nor take refuge in a more beautiful place
Em busca da inspiração
In search of inspiration
Não
No
Ela é uma luz que chega de repente
It's a light that arrives suddenly
Com a rapidez de uma estrela cadente
With the speed of a shooting star
Que acende a mente e o coração
That lights up the mind and the heart
É, faz pensar
Yes, it makes one think
Que existe uma força maior que nos guia
That there's a greater force that guides us
Que está no ar
That's in the air
Vem no meio da noite ou no claro do dia
It comes in the middle of the night or in broad daylight
Chega a nos angustiar
It even distresses us
E o poeta se deixa levar por essa magia
And the poet lets himself be carried away by this magic
E um verso vem vindo e vem vindo uma melodia
And a verse is coming and a melody is coming
E o povo começa a cantar
And the people begin to sing
Lalaialá
Lalaialá
Lalaialá
Lalaialá
Lalaialá

criação — creation
Criação means "creation" and it's a central theme in this samba. It refers to the act of creating, specifically the artistic creation of samba music itself.
The song emphasizes that this creative power is an intrinsic force, not something that can be forced or found in a specific place. It's a beautiful and profound word that captures the essence of artistic inspiration.
