Analyze gives music Like Nossos Pais

Stanzas 1 and 2

I do not want to fail
Meu big love
You give things that I learned
We disks
I want to tell him how he lived
E tudo or what happened with me

Viver é melhor que sonhar
Eu I know what or love
É uma coisa boa
More also sei
What any song
Is less than life
Of qualquer pessoa

From the very first verses, we can perceive that the music is an interlocutor. Or little guy is falando with someone, who he identifies as being or his "great love".

He explains that he did not want to talk about abstract issues such as dreams, art or music. The precise falar of his life, partilhar as another aquilo that has passed away.

Exists, no ar, um emergency climate, which will be confirmed throughout the song. The second stanza, is sublime or value gives life as something superior, more important than any other thing.

Stanzas 3 and 4

By isso careful, meu bem
Ha perigo na corner
They will win and win
It is dated pra nós
That we are young

To embrace seu irmão
E beijar sua menina na rua
What is fez or seu braço
Or your lips and your voice

A third strophe comes with a warning. There is a constant ameaça that paira em volta do subjeito, or "perigo na corner" that he waits to attack.

O subject to your interlocutor who is allied to a war in which they were defeated. You adversaries ganharam and leaf persecute you. This is uma reference to ditatorial regime established in 64 and the setbacks of mentality that trouxe ao povo Brasiliro.

Perante a repressão, a Tentava youth resist more stagnant, stop not "sinal vermelho", waiting or seu tempo. The music, or climate of media and violence contrasts with the nature of individual sessions, which prove to be good for or loving the comrade.

Stanzas 5 and 6

You ask me
Pela minha paixão
I say that you are delighted
Like a nova invention
Eu vou ficar nesta city
Não vou voltar pro sertão
Pois vejo vir vindo no vento
Cheiro de nova estação
Eu sinto na ferida viva
My heart

Ja face tempo
Eu vi você na rua
Cabelo ao vento
Young people gathered
Na parede gives memory
Essa lembrança
É or quadro que domi mais

In spite of everything, or eu-lyrical do not give up. Assim, he declares that he is not going to leave a city, but to return to a terra onde nasceu. I do not have chaos, I continue to have hope Please note that there are no indications of a new tempo that is on the way.

The same tempting a different perspective, or subject does not hide him, declaring that his heart is a "ferida viva." Going through the lembranças, he shares memories of a different past, where everything was freedom and lightness.

The ideas of "hair ao vento" and "young people reunited" seem to be references to movement hippie, a counterculture that pregava "peace and love". For or little subject, all that harmony was suddenly interrupted and dominated by oppression.

Refrão

Minha dor é perceber
What despite thermos
Feito tudo or what do we fize
Ainda we are mesmos
And we live
Ainda we are mesmos
And we live
As nossos country

Or refrão carrega or weighing a little guy, forced to admit defeat. Olhando em volta, he perceives that all of you efforts foram em vão, to luta não adiantou. Despite its geração, the ideias are considerably different days than Vigoravam before, or Brazil was standing still for no time.

Because of this, the youngsters were forced to live for the second time, the same conservative parents from the previous gestation, feeling that their era was routed between their fingers.

Stanza 7

Our idols
Ainda são we mesmos
E as appearances
No cheating, no
You say that you give them
I do not appear anymore

In addition, as he took two previous verses defeatist, the third stanza shows that these individuals are in prison for the past. Face a dark present, continue traveling to memories ...

A passagem also transmits uma feeling of abandonment, by orfandade. Or little subject and your interlocutor seems to feel that they are lost and there is no way to indicate or walk.

Stanzas 8 and 9

You can até dizer
What are you for fora
Ou então
What are you inventing

More é você
Who loves or passed away
What do you see
É você
Who loves or passed away
What do you see
That or novo always see

The stanzas 8 and 9, or eu-lyrical and his love seem to disagree. The interlocutor já não certifies that a move is possible, enquanto or subject to the positive side.

Even discouraged with the reality that he lives in, he tries to convince another that "or novo always see me." Embora seems impossível, facing so much repression, free to go check.

A message seems to be intended for all of you who listen to music: Belchior asks us not to deliver the pontos, because in reality it will change.

Stanza 10

Hoje eu sei
That burned me due to idéia
Of uma nova consciência
E youth
You are at home
Saved by Deus
Counting or vile metal

The last verse seems to be a reflection on everything or course of his geração. Disillusioned, or subject, uma face obvious criticism Let them be your companions of Luta.

You old revolutionaries, and the same artists, who will awaken your consciousness of him, will only be sold. It is visível or rancor of a little subject, to or perceive that his old corrupted foram idols dinheiro hair, or "vile metal".

Meaning of music

O theme gives voice to a geração de jovens that viram to their freedom confiscated by the instauração da Brazilian military rank.

Fruits of an era marked by innovation, experimentation and counterculture, their lifestyle was altered by repression.

OR cultural and social regression Gerou sentiments of anguish and frustration nessa youth, that does not have the opportunity of trilhar seus paths longe of persecution and of censorship.

Belchior é, em Like Nossos Pais, voice-bearer of his tempo and of the gerational conflict that was lived. Embora think differently and have struggled for freedom, these young people will end up condemned to live second to the same conservative morality than the previous generation.
