Lyrics for Santa Maria de la Feira as interpreted by bellacella1130

Santa Maria de la Feira Lyrics
pensando
cada d�a, cada hora
pensando en ti

caminando
mi cesta llena de moras
son para ti

temprano
por la tarde y por la noche
sue�o de ti

larilarilarilarairirairirai...

comiendo pera
en Santa Mar�a De La Feira
qu� placer ir

la genter buena
solo goza, nunca hay pena
pa' qu� sufrir

jugando
en el mar en la arena
viviendo as�

larilarilarilarairirairirai...

ventana blanca
ay que venga la ma�ana
ay que venga otra vez

esperando
as� es como yo paso mi tiempo
esperando a Inaniel

y rezando
por su calor, por su aliento
sobre mi piel

te digo todo aqui va bien conmigo, menos dormir
amigo te suplico te lo pido que me ayudes a m�, a mi

buscando
con mi ancla en la marea
nadando en ti

yo voy andando
�yeme, te estoy llamando
te amo a ti

por el valle
me encontr� un r�o escondido
y me ahogu� ah�

y me recuerdo
hac�a calor, pero tenia fr�o
me iba a morir...

Bianca
ay Paloma y Angelina
por fin te v�

por fin te v�...

here's the lyrics in English... you get advised: they are quite nonsense!
anyway, i think the song is cool... maybe devendra needs to take some Spanish classes... ;-)

thinking / every day, every hour / thinking of you
walking / my basket full of mulberries / they're for you
early / by the day and the night / i dream of you

larilarilarilarairirairirai...

eating pears / in Santa María de La Feira / what a pleasure going there
good people / only enjoys, there's never sorrow / there's no reason to suffer
playing / in the sea, in the sand / living this way

larilarilarilarairirairirai...

white window / oh, i want the morning to come / want it to come back once again
waiting / that's the way i spend my time / waiting for Inaniel
and praying / for her warmth, fo her breath / over my skin

my friend, i tell you everything's going right on here, but sleeping
my friend i beg you to help me, me

searching / with my anchor on the tide / swimming on you
i'm already going / hear me, i'm telling you / i love you
by the valley / i found a hidden river / i drown on it

and i remember / it was warm, but i was cold / i was going to die
Bianca / oh Paloma and Angelina / finally i saw you

finally i saw you...

ohhh...

PS: Santa Maria da Feira (in Spanish: Santa María de la Feria") is a city in Portugal and Inaniel, Bianca, Paloma and Angelina are women names.

Devendra was raised in Venezuela. I hope he doesn't need Spanish lessons.

I think Devendra said that he feels more comfortable writing simple love song lyrics in Spanish than in English. It's a beautiful song. This is the kind of song in which I think he's channeling Caetano Veloso rather than Marc Bolan.

I always thought it was "hay que venga la manana / hay que venga otra vez." it's pronounced the same as "ay," but has a slightly different meaning that made more sense to me: "the morning has to come, the morning must come again." it's inevitable that the morning will come even though he wishes the night would last forever with his lover? i don't know... just my 2 cents.

I think people should stop knocking his Spanish since it was his first language and maybe take some English lessons?
anyway, this is a pretty song.

Okay so...this song is open to interpretation...BUT it is a love song for his girlfriend BIanca. BIanca is one of the members of the band COCOROSIe.

HOwever, i feel like in this song he is in a dream state wandering through santa maria de la feira, apparently a city in portugal. All he can do is think of her every hour of every day. So he dreams about Bianca (but we don't know this until the end of the song when he mentions that he finally found her)and he can't sleep, and he plays hence the ladidadida...so anyway it's a new day and he is looking for some dude named inaniel, whom he begs and pleads for him to help him (devendra) because he can no longer sleep. He is lost, looking, calling for her, because he loves her. So finally in the valley he finds a hidden river and drowns. He remembers that it was cold but he was warm, he was about to die. BUT FINALLY he finds bianca, his angelic dove.

p.s i love love this song and am extremely jealous of this Bianca character.


oh and indeed it is in a disneyworld commercial.

i did think inaniel was a guy's name. at first i thought it was some spiritual person or state or something along those lines. but if you look it up, every single hit for "inaniel" is about devendra banhart. i'm very curious as to who inaniel is.

Yes, his spanish is good. and this song is pretty.

but i think the translation is a bit off
"la gente buena, solo goza nunca hay pena... pa' qué sufrir?"
"good people, only have fun(gozar is just "to have fun"), there's never sorrow... why suffer?"

and i think Inaniel is a guys name, because after he says "amigo" meaning male friend.

here's my translation:
I think, every day and every night, I think of you.
Walking with my basket full of blueberries, they’re for you.
Early in the evening, early in the night, I dream of you.

Lalalalalalal

Eating a pear in Santa Maria de la Feira.
What a pleasure it is to go.

The good people on feel joy, they never feel sorrow.
Why suffer?

Playing, in the ocean, in the sand.
Living like this.

Lalalalalaalalal

White window.
let the morning come, let it come again.

Waiting is how I spent my time.
Waiting for Inaniel.

And praying for her warmth, for her breathe over my skin.

I tell you, everything’s great with me here, except sleep.
Friend, I beg, I ask of you to help me, help me.

Searching with my anchor on the tide.
Swimming In you.

I’m coming, listen to me I’m calling you
I am in love with you

In the valley I found a hidden river, and I drowned myself there.

And I remember that it was hot but I felt cold.
I was going to die.

Bianca
and Paloma and Angelina
I finally saw you.
I finally saw you.

***I don't think INANIEL is a boy (unless it it is Bianca's masculine alter ego).***
Bianaca (from CocoRosie, who he was partnered w/ at the time) has the second name LEILANI. Inaniel is very similar (phonetically & in spelling) to Leilani backwards.

In the song "Inaniel", which is clearly about Bianca, he sings "Inaniel miel Leilani"

Gretamar, imo, is spot on with the interpretation, except that he is not looking for "some dude" to save him, but Bianca/Inaniel.
