Revolution and reinvention are in Daniela Mercuryâ€™s blood. At sixteen she began performing in bars in Salvador da Bahia and discovered that her calling in life was music. Her passion for Bahian Carnaval led to the ultimate challenge of singing in a trio elÃ©trico. Mercury took to the rolling, amplified bandstand that lumbers down the avenue among Carnaval revelers at a time in which only men sang in blocos. Since then the festa barroca has become her milieu of choice for redefining her artistry.

Santa Helena Lyrics

Daniela Mercury

Saiu na quarta-feira
Sexta e no chegou
J faz uma centena
Que o meu olho te espiou
luz de seis e meia
A noite anunciou
O brilho das estrelas
E voc no voltou
Corri festa de largo
Fitei brao e rezei
Lacei a f no espao
Mas eu no avistei ningum
OH! Santa Helena
OH! Santa Helena
Saiu na quarta-feira
Com os meus beijos de amor
Deixou uma incerteza
Num bilhete sem cor
Botei na prateleira
O orgulho e a razo
Consultei rezadeira
Me guiei por intuio
E ningum
OH! Santa Helena
OH! Santa Helena
