Canto de Ossanha Lyrics
O homem que diz “dou” não dá, porque quem dá mesmo não diz
O homem que diz “vou” não vai, porque quando foi já não quis
O homem que diz “sou” não é, porque quem é mesmo é “não sou”
O homem que diz “tô” não tá, porque ninguém tá quando quer
Coitado do homem que cai no canto de Ossanha, traidor
Coitado do homem que vai atrás de mandinga de amor
Vai, vai, vai, vai, não vou
Vai, vai, vai, vai, não vou
Vai, vai, vai, vai, não vou
Vai, vai, vai, vai
Não vou!
Eu não sou ninguém de ir em conversa de esquecer
A tristeza de um amor que passou
Não, eu só vou se for pra ver uma estrela aparecer
Na manhã de um novo amor
Amigo sinhô, saravá, Xangô me mandou lhe dizer
Se é canto de Ossanha, não vá, que muito vai se arrepender
Pergunte ao seu Orixá, o amor só é bom se doer
Pergunte ao seu Orixá, o amor só é bom se doer
Vai, vai, vai, vai, amar
Vai, vai, vai, sofrer
Vai, vai, vai, vai, chorar
Vai, vai, vai
Dizer
Que eu não sou ninguém de ir em conversa de esquecer
A tristeza de um amor que passou
Não, eu só vou se for pra ver uma estrela aparecer
Na manhã de um amor

Canto de Ossanha Lyrics Meaning
The song starts by talking about people who say things they don’t really mean. Someone who says they will give usually doesn’t, because real giving comes from action, not words. Someone who says they will go often doesn’t, because if they really wanted to, they would have gone already. The same goes for people who claim to be something—they usually aren’t. The lyrics suggest that true qualities don’t need to be announced. Then, the song warns about falling for the “song of Ossanha,” which represents deceit and illusions, especially in love. It’s a warning about getting tricked by false promises.
The chorus repeats “vai, vai, vai” (go, go, go), followed by “não vou” (I won’t go). This shows hesitation. It’s like the singer is being pushed to believe in something, but they refuse because they know better. They don’t want to fall into the trap of fake love or easy solutions to heartbreak.
Later, the song brings in Afro-Brazilian spiritual references. Xangô, a powerful Orixá (spiritual force), warns not to follow Ossanha’s deceptive song. The message is clear: real love isn’t simple or painless—it comes with suffering. The song ends by repeating that love brings both happiness and pain. It reminds us that true love is deep, not just an illusion or a quick fix.
