Leão Lyrics in English Xamã , Marília Mendonça

Home / Lyrics Translation / Xamã / Leão

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Leão by Xamã from Portuguese to English.

But if you wanna look at me

Like a painting with no explanation

I'm on a lunar jet

In São Sebastião's capital

May the morning sun melt you

You B-movie vampire

But who's gonna judge us?

I'm your tousled lion

I know you get me

You always run when you're dating

If you love nobody

Why are you hearing me now?

You beautiful, so crazy, my Mona Lisa

Strip my clothes, mesmerize me

Kill me, kiss me on the mouth

My woman, girl

Teach me to live wild, your eyes a pool

Drown me then mouth-to-mouth, recharge my rhyme

Bring a fork 'cause today it's soup, girl

But if you wanna stay

I'll play cool and grab your hand

Private villain

I'm the bluff in an action flick

If I step on this stage

It was God who made me like this

And the spotlights come at me

It's that I love you and don't even say it

No, I can't be your saint

I'm fact or hypothesis

I'm king, gypsy, or nomad

Sorry for my sovereign style

But today it's for you that I sing

And it's for you that I sing

I know you want me too

Hot lioness Marília

Can I call you, babe

What are you doing now?

So handsome, so crazy, my great friend

After you the others are just others, you know

Let's make love, sing old sertanejo

And kiss on the mouth, babe

Maybe you won't even give me props

Till you see me in space on the newsstand

But if you wanna look at me

Like a painting with no explanation

I'm on a lunar jet

In São Sebastião's capital

SONG MEANING

Leão throws you straight into a cosmic love chase where swagger meets sincerity. Xamã steps onto the scene as a "despenteado leão" ‒ a lion with messy hair and even messier feelings ‒ cruising in a lunar jet over São Sebastião. Between vampire jokes and movie-style bravado, he confesses a raw craving for connection: he is not a saint, not even sure if he is king, gypsy or nomad, yet all spotlights point to one thing, his desire to be truly seen and loved. The lyrics leap from surreal images to street-smart quips, painting romance as both a blockbuster stunt and an intimate whisper.

When Marília Mendonça enters, the duet flips into playful mutual teasing. She is the irresistible “leoa gostosa,” and together they mix rap flow with sertanejo heartache, proving that passion can be intense, humorous, and a bit chaotic all at once. Underneath the flirty banter lies a deeper message: fame, fantasy, and tough-guy poses cannot hush the simple need to hold someone’s hand. Leão is a vibrant reminder that even the most confident roar hides a soft spot eager for a genuine embrace.
