Hernani da Silva's song 'Nanas Lindas' is a vibrant and playful ode to the beautiful women of Mozambique. The lyrics are a joyful celebration of the diverse and captivating beauty found in the women he encounters. The song opens with a long list of female names, each representing a different woman who has caught the artist's eye. This extensive list sets the tone for the song, emphasizing the abundance of beauty that surrounds him.
As the song progresses, Hernani describes a lively party atmosphere where he is overwhelmed by the presence of so many attractive women. He mentions specific names and details, such as Vanessa, Sheila, and Carla, each with their unique charm and allure. The repeated refrain, 'Por que tem de haver tantas nanas lindas em Moz,' translates to 'Why are there so many beautiful women in Mozambique?'
