Music Drão, by Gilberto Gil: analysis, history and backstage

Drão It is two great classics of popular Brazilian music. Extremely original, an autobiographical song composed by Gilberto Gil, dealing with divorce in a very special way. The verses dedicated to separation are full of affection, love and respect.

Composted in 1981 and released in 1982, Drão é, before tudo, a beautiful tribute to Sandra Gadelha, ex-mulher of Gil and more of três dos seus filhos (Pedro, Preta and Maria).

Lyrics

Drão!
Or love gives people and like um grão
A mind of illusion
I was afraid to die to germinate
Plant nalgum place
Resuscitar no chão
Nossa likeness
Quem will be able to fazer that love to die
Nossa caminhadura
Hard walk
Pela noite dark

Drão!
I did not think of separation
Don't tear apart or heart
O true love and vão
Be infinite
Immense monolith
Nossa architecture
Quem will be able to fazer that love to die
Nossa caminhadura
Tatame bed
Pela vida afora

Drão!
Os meninos são todos sãos
You sins são todos meus
Deus tastes like minha confissão
There is nothing to forgive
For isso the same, what should be done more compaixão

Quem will be able to fazer
That love to die
I know love is like um grão
Morre, wheat is born
Live, morre pão
Drão!
Drão!

Analyze the lyrics

The title of music from a reference to the affectionate name given to Sandra Gadelha, in the mulher era of Gilberto Gil. By letter, autobiographical, was composted during separation.

A first word of the lyrics, which suddenly becomes a long song, and as if a chamamento, when or eu-lyrical is directed to the old beloved.

Enquanto a huge plot of compositions são raised to louvar or love or regret or lost love, Gil em Drão It is tempting to place non-divorce a solar and otimistic perspective:

Drão!
Or love gives people and like um grão
A mind of illusion
I was afraid to die to germinate
Plant nalgum place
Resuscitar no chão
Nossa likeness

Not how I know or love of so many years morresse, how is that paixão de outrora tivesse transformed into another thing, my sentiment also bom, but different daquilo that has not started.

A metaphor as a plantation is precious. For além da rhyme that is generated (Drão / grão), or ouvinte barnacle as or fim is necessary to establish a new relationship.

In the second part of the letter, for its time, it treats of the partilha subject between or casal:

Quem will be able to fazer that love to die
Nossa caminhadura
Hard walk
Pela noite dark

To affirm that either love does not die, or eu-lyrical guarantor that or affect that before I say I respect a love relationship now I find myself in mutation and it will turn another type of feeling.

A path that lacks the letter can be a reference to a tatame's bed, where or where it is customary to sleep, but a word can also be read as or recognition of the difficulty of the course. Logo depois to order of the words is inverted and the path turns hard when it is walked, ai então o eu-lrico, it recognizes the percalços of the path and the difficulty of giving life to two. Ele sublinha that everything is honey it's not over com a separation.

I am not going to continue, or eu-lyrical invites those who will become his future ex-wife to think in a new way:

Drão!
I did not think of separation
Don't tear apart or heart
O true love and vão
Be infinite
Immense monolith
Nossa architecture

Year inverse of sofrimento, or eu-lyrical stimulates olhar so that it has a solid boom in the relationship. Longe to be lost or extinguished, or what is tempted to translate what or love metamorphoses em another kind of affection.

It was at some moment that vigor was a paixão and a euphoria, we now see a permanent, infinite love, that is back and multiplies.

The fruits of the relationship are not sentimental as well as concrete: you filhos. For isso, I do not trecho, Drão é lembrada da herança deixada hair relationship:

Drão!
Os meninos são todos sãos

Nesses verses Gil faces a reference to three filhos do casal, Pedro, Preta and Maria.

A song ended by loading a certain sadness because the reality did not coincide with the lyrics sung by Gil: Pedro, a two-year-old boy, a young man, 19 years old, with a tragic car accident 1990. But not tempo em that music was written - not at the beginning of two eighty years - of fate, the boys were all bem.

A continuous letter, agora com um tom mais confessional, onde o eu-lrico faz um mea culpa Introducing ex-mulher do fato da relação ter falhado:

You sins são todos meus
Deus tastes like minha confissão
There is nothing to forgive
For isso the same, what should be done more compaixão

Ao instead of invoking common sentiments ao rupimento as a raiva e o ciume, or eu-lrico can that Drão tenha sensitivity and understanding To deal with the situation and perceive that it is a matter of a mature decision of two adults who do not function any more as a home, we keep an immense mutual affection.

O final gives music and illustrated with a beautiful metaphor of pão to prove that you affect another coisa. Likewise, how much it needs to grow to turn or wheat, or cereal needs to grow to be transformed into pão.

I know love is like um grão
Morre, wheat is born
Live, morre pão

Gil sublinha nesses verses a passagem do tempo and an incredible capacidade de transformation two faces - that, in case of divorce, it is not extinguished, it is modified.

Racks of criação

Gilberto Gil came to love Sandra in 1968 and ended up getting married for the year to follow.

Or marriage, which was or third party of Gilberto Gil, lasted 12 years and was for which Drão it was written. With Sandra, Gil you have three filhos: Pedro, Preta e Maria.

A song that made two classics of popular Brazilian music took place precisely during the divorce process of the house, not at the beginning of two eighty years.

Like foi, de fato, a separação

Drão ficou marked as a song that illustrates or the end of a long-lived marriage, for the most part of a decade of marriage.

The divorce between Gilberto Gil and Sandra Gadelha was carried out in a peaceful way, respecting the privacy of the house and especially protecting the children. In some pontifical interviews Sandra recounts the backstage of the separation decision:

We parted ways as usual. Or tinha love transformed into another thing. E to music fala exactly dessa change, of a kind of love that lives, dies and reborn of another maneira. Nosso love never morreu, até hoje we are very friends. How to pass from tempo to music made me more excited, I was reflected on the lyrics. A poesia é um dazzling, is ali nossa history, a bed of tatame, that we adore.

Because music is chama Drão?

Sandrão was called by Maria Bethânia who ended up being adored by the next people. Sandrão quickly virou Drão, a carinhoso chamamento.

Uma curiosidade: Sandra and Irmã da first mulher de Caetano Veloso, Dedé Gadelha. Second to Sandra herself, the growing immersion in the universe of artists in Bahia and since a long time ago I have been identified with hair:

Since I was 14 years old, everyone in Salvador has loved me from Drão. I was raised with Gal Costa, we morávamos na mesma rua. Sou irmã de Dedé, first mulher of Caetano Veloso. Nossa rua era or meeting point of the Tropicália turma. I went to Gil's first marriage. Depois conheci Nana Caymmi, his second woman. Nosso amor nasceu dessa amizade.

A morte do filho Pedro

Embora appeared briefly in the letter, Drão faced a reference to three years of marriage. Pedro, Preta and Maria are mentioned when they say that they are all alone.

Either a stretch is especially delicate because Pedro, or filho mais velho, who was a musician and participates in the Ego Trip band, died early, barely 19 years old.

Victim of a car accident in Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas, not Rio de Janeiro, Pedro Gadelha Gil Moreira was buried on February 2, 1990. A letter of Drão It also appears as a happy record of a tempo in which everyone was in love with the family existed in its plenitude.
