Laurinda Lyrics in English Karetus , Vitorino, Iolanda

Karetus takes a timeless Portuguese folk refrain and drops it onto a dance floor, turning "Laurinda" into a lively tug-of-war between desire and empowerment. At first the chorus sounds like a simple serenade: a smitten voice praises Laurinda as "more beautiful than the sun" and begs to spend a single night wrapped in her sheets. With its hypnotic repetition and upbeat electronics, the song invites listeners to sway along and believe they are hearing a classic love plea.

Then Laurinda answers back, and the story flips. She declares that she decides his fate, warns that sharing a bed with him could mean her own ruin, and calls out his wandering ways with other women. In a few sharp lines she reminds him she has ironed his shirts, paid his bills, and finally walks away, unafraid. What begins as an ode to beauty becomes a showdown about respect, loyalty, and self-worth, all wrapped in a vibrant mix of traditional vocals and modern bass that makes the drama impossible to ignore.
