Marisa Monte is a Brazilian popular singer, and one the biggest stars of contemporary MPB. She was born on July 1, 1967 in Rio de Janeiro. While classically trained in opera singing, she grew up surrounded by the sounds of the Portela samba school, and combines diverse influences into her music. While most of her music is in the style of modern MPB, she has also recorded traditional sambas and folklore tunes, and songs by Marvin Gaye and Lou Reed. Much of her work has been in collaboration with musicians/songwriters Carlinhos Brown, Arnaldo Antunes, and Nando Reis, and producer Arto Lindsay.

A Menina Dança Lyrics
Marisa Monte
congelo el fuego
incendio el agua y me derrito.
Y si te miro
divido al mundo en universos
y soy vecino de la luna.
Y si te miro al Poema Veinte,
lo hago mio
veo estrellitas que se fugan ya
de cada hebra de tu pelo.
Y si te miro,
me guardo el mundo y el infinito
en un bolsillo.
Y si te miro
veo a la octaba maravilla
y la hago mia.
Me traigo el lago de los cisnes hasta ti
para ponerlo en tus jardines.
Y despus cuando sospecho que me miras,
otra vez a traves de la ventana
y despus cuando sospecho que me miras
asi no casi no puedo respirar.
Si me distraigo,
y si me sorprendes
con un beso mudo aqu en el cuello.
