Recorded for the first time in 1971, Construction It is important to see the title of the album that is inserted. Besides being one of the two greatest successes of Chico Buarque, the music turned into two great classics by MPB.

A composition was raised during the hard years of military service.

Amou give it the last time
Beijou sua mulher as the last fosse
And each filho seu of him as it is fosse or unique
And travessou a rua com seu passo timido

Subiu a construção como se fosse machine
Ergueu did not kick four solid walls
Tijolo com tijolo num magic design
Seus olhos dull of cement and tear
He felt to rest as it was saturday
Comeu feijão with rice as a prince fosse
He drinks and solves like a shipwrecked man
He danced and gargalhou like ouvisse music
And he tropeçou no céu how he fosse um bêbado
And he flutuou will not see how he fosse um pássaro
E se acabou no chão feito um flaccid pacote
Agonizou no meio do passeio public
Morreu na contramão trapping or traffic

We go as eu-lyrical accompanying the details of the day-to-day of homem não nomeado.

As a dramatic tom, or a worker ends up dying without anonymity, it is summed up to trapping or traffic. A letter is a species of protest poem and intends, through the narration of the brief history, to create a forte social criticism.

2. Chalice (1973)

Written in 1973 and released five years later due to censorship, Chalice uma face scandalized criticism of the military statement ("As it is difficult to agree draft").

Chico Buarque was two artists who composed more songs against the military regime that was unable to do so at the time. Chalice é a dessas criações deluded, which proclaims endurance It invites you to think about the political and social conditions of the country.

Pai, afasta de mim esse chalice
Of red wine from sangue
How to drink that bitter drink
Swallow dor, engulf labuta
Same puff to mouth, subtraction or peito
Silêncio na cidade não se escuta
What is the use of being filho da santa
Melhor would be filho da outra
Other less deadly reality
So much lie, so much brute force
How difficult it is to agree on draft
Se na calada da noite eu hurt me
I want to launch a human scream
What a way to be shielded

A letter on the face of a mention of a biblical passage in Mark: "Pai, se queres, until me this chalice."

A escolha da palavra was specified because, to além de fazer reference to the sacred stretch, or title of the song is also He confuses with the word "cale-se", which was quite sensitive, since I have a repression derived from two years of chumbo no country.

3. Despite Você (1970)

Outra music that is a record of historical tempo in which it was conceived Despite Você, uma das poucas criações que o singer assumiu ter invented to face the military regime.

A song was conceived with a very sensitive number for the country: the same time as the seleção conquered or three-time world championship, censorship and repression during the Medici government became more and more hard.

In spite of você
Amanhã has to be
Another day
I ask you
Where will i hide
Gives huge euphoria
How am I going to prohibit
When I insist
Sing em
Água nova sprouting
I know people loving
Sem stop

It was for or then the Medici president that the composition was addressed. Practically by a miracle the censors did not viram social criticism behind the lyrics and approval of music, which was recorded and disseminated.

Depois de ter feito enormous success, a published journal that In spite of você It would be a tribute to the president. As a rare revelation, a recording machine was invaded and many exemplary discs were destroyed.

As a consequence, Chico Buarque was also summoned by censors to clarify whether the music was or was not a criticism of the regime. The composer denied it was about a political song, but even with the institution of the democratic regime, he assumed that it was, sim, a music of combat military ideologies.

4. To band (1966)

A song created in 1966 won the 2nd Brazilian Popular Music Festival, also held in 1966. To band Foi to music that projetou or então little known singer from Rio de Janeiro for the whole country.

Maid not principle of military rank, To band, as his joyful and festive rhythm, no tinha or combative tom das songs that were more contemporary. In terms of structure, she was built as a kind of Chronic do Bairro, focusing on everyday figures, vulgar personages.

A letter narrates how a band, ao passar, distracted and entertained people ao redor. A year long two verses we are repairing how the state of spirit of people radically mute when they are played by music.

I was going to life
O meu love me chamou
To see banda passar
Singing love songs
A minha people sofrida
Goodbye
To see banda passar
Singing love songs
O homem serio that contava dinheiro parou
O lantern that contava vantagem parou
A namorada that contava as stars for her
To see, ouvir e dar passagem

5. João and Maria (1976)

Composta numa parceria between Sivuca (music) and Chico Buarque (lyrics), a valsinha João and Maria e, first of all, a love song that tells you about the encounters and misunderstandings of a dull house. A melody was raised in 1947 by Sivuca and was only written for fifty years later, in 1976.

O olhar do eu-lrico part of um point of view quase child (It is worth mentioning that the title of the song itself is an allusion to a classic fada story). A letter and based on a hypothetical conversation of children, we see, for example, a beloved being compared to a princess.

We observe, throughout the letter, various characteristic images of the psyche of children: a figure of a cowboy, a presence of two dogs, a king's imposition. Aliás, in Chico's handwriting, is deeply imaginary and rises up and destroys cenários quickly.

Agora eu era or heroi
E o meu cavalo só falava englês
A noiva do cowboy
It was você além das outras três
Eu faced the battles
You Germans and Seus Canhões
Guardava or meu bodoque
E ensaiava um rock for matinees
Agora eu era o rei
It was o bedel and it was also juiz
E pela minha lei
People were forced to be happy

6. Vai Passar (1984)

Compost in the eighties (to be more precise, a song was released in 1984), in partnership with Francis Hime, Vai Passar It is an animated samba that refers to a specific moment in the history of Brazil.

A great critic of the military leadership, Chico Buarque used his letters to position himself politically, spreading a kind of anti-regime manifesto.

I will pass
Nessa avenida um samba
popular
Each parallelepiped
Give velha city
Essa noite vai
Regret
Ao lembrar
That here passaram
sambas imortais
That here will bleed hairs
nossos condolences
That here sambaram
nossos ancestrais

Ao longa two verses or eu-lrico visit periods of the history of our country, we raise, for example, the looting that or Brazil sofreu enquanto still was a colônia of Portugal. We also see people like you barões e os escravos (here referred to by the menção as construções: "levavam pedras feito penitentes").

A song is built in a thermos to a sensation that we attend a carnival parade. During the course we see dinners from Brazilian colonial history mixed with references to the military period.

A music celebrates hope in melhores days and stimulates resistance, tempting to leave for after years of chumbo.

7. Future Lovers (1993)

A beautiful song of love, it could also be characterized Future Lovers, composted by Chico Buarque in 1993.

Trying to transmit the notion that you have a tem or seu tempo, or eu-lyrical celebrate a patient loveGoodbye, which remains for two years waiting for the right moment to unzip.

Don't worry, don't
That nothing is pra já
Or love, don't worry
I can wait in silence
Armário fund number
Na posta-remaining
Milênios, milênios
No ar
What do you know?
Or Rio will be
Some submerged city
The scuba divers virão
Explore your home
Seu quarto, suas coisas
Your soul, detours

Or love here is like a youthful bird, which ran quickly and showed itself perishable. Na lyrics by Chico Buarque os verses invocam um timeless love - not just carnal -, who overcomes all the difficulties overcomes all the barriers.

A submerged image of Rio de Janeiro is also very powerful, as a figure of a mergulhador (or diver) seeking records of how he lived in space during that time. A city resists as seus objects and mysteries, as well as patient love of eu-lyrical.

8. Roda Viva (1967)

Composted in 1967, a song on the face of the peça Roda Viva, which is directed by José Celso Martinez, of Teatro Oficina, and was the first piece of theater written by Chico Buarque.

An original montage was made known because it houve forte persecution and censorship of production. In 1968 the Ruth Escobar Theater (in São Paulo) was invaded during the scene. Homens depredaram o espaço e agrediram com cassetetes e Soci-ingleses atores e a peça technical team.

A letter of Roda Viva it is intimately linked to the period in which it was composted and a critical aspect of the military dictatorship.

I fear days that people will sit
How did you leave or morreu
People are suddenly
Ou foi o mundo que cresceu
People want your active voice
We are not destined to send
More than that, chega a roda alive
E carrega or destination pra la
Roda mundo, roda-giant
Roda moinho, roda pião
O tempo rodou num instant
Nas voltas do my heart

Ao long two verses, or eu-lrico deals with passagem do tempo e reflete sobre a fugacidade da vida. But, above all, a song is revealed as um against the years of chumbo and repressão.

We perceive as a poetic subject wishes to be active na luta e ter a su voz ouvida. The letter represents all those who want to participate in a democratic game and serem cidadãos com direito à questionamentos e à liberdade.

9. Geni e or Zepelim (1978)

To extensive music Geni e or Zepelim fez part do musical Opera do Malandro. The protagonist gives the letter and a woman who is related to many homens and, because of having made that decision, she ends up being socially knocked out.

Although the lyrics have been composted not final two years seventy, unfortunately she still plays in quite contemporary questões like o sexism and o preconception against women.

Of all that I negotiate torto
Do mangue e do cais do Porto
She was in love
O seu corpo é two wanderers
Two blind men, two retirees
I'm not sorry but nothing
Dá-se assim from menina
Na garagem, na canteen
Back of the tank, I don't kill
She is rainha two detentos
Das loucas, two lazarentos
Two moleques do internato
E também vai amiúde
Co'os velhinhos sem saúde
E as viúvas sem porvir
Ela é um poço de bondade
E é because of isso that a city
Live forever to repeat
Joga pedra na Geni

The woman who stars in the composition of her questioned morality and her reputation is dedicated solely and exclusively to the number of homens commented on by her.

We see the lyrics of Chico as a personal escort of Geni deitar with various partners, face as that who is a or senor to condemn, to bitter, to marginalize and to julgue sem do nem piedade. Or character of Geni is posto à prova pela his free sexual behavior.

10. Or what will be (À Flor da Pele) (1976)

To song Or what will be I was composted for the film Dona Flor and Seus Dois Husbands, based on Jorge Amado's romance.

Despite loading this title, a ficou music made by many such as À Flor da Pele.

Or what will it be, what will it be?
What andam sighing in bedrooms
What andam whispering in verses and trovas
What andam combining not breu das play
That walks nas heads, walks nas mouths
What andam lighting candles becos us
What is falando high, bouncy hairs
We shout at the markets that we are certain
It is in nature
It will be, what will it be?
Or that I have no certainty, I will never
Or that I do not have a consensus, I will never
Or that I am not big ...

Here too Chico face mentions years of chumbo and a year of the regime of media and repression caused by censorship.

Ao long two verses we attended a mystery and a dúvida that pairavam naquele moment about the country. As the information was not transmitted, the content must be approved by censors and the population does not have access to or that of fate is passed.

On the other hand, Or what will be It can also be interpreted from the point of view of a loving relationship. The letter serves as a background to illustrate the bohemian life and the concerns that the beloved dava Dona Flor, the protagonist of the film. A song is closed with a certain conformity and with the verification that or partner, Vadinho would not regenerate.

11. Daily (1971)

A song composted by Chico did not begin two years seventy fala da rotina from um casal from do olhar do beloved.

The letter begins as a day and closes as a beijo given at bedtime. The verses give you two habits and costumes present numa vida à dois.

Every day the face is always the same
He took me out for six hours da manhã
I was sorri um pontual sorriso
E me beija com a boca de hortelã

Every day she says that he wants to take care of me
Those things that every woman said
You say you're waiting for me to protect
And I eat a mouthful of coffee

Over the years we have observed two verses to dynamics of the house, from phrases that are daily exchanged for years, small gestures of love that seem to be lost in the morning. We even assist dynamics in terms of hours.

It is present in the letter to noção da repetição and da monotony present in life to two, but also it gives relief or feeling of companionshipand compliance that sprout from a long-term relationship.

12. O meu love (1978)

Conhened by an unequaled sensibility capable of translating the sentiments of women, Chico Buarque in a series of lyrics uses a feminine eu-lyrical to express himself.

O meu love This example of the genre of song on or poetic subject explores the hesitations considered typical of the feminine side of the house.

O meu love
Tem um jeito meek that é só seu
What is louca leaving me
When I go to my mouth
A minha I fought all regretful fica
I feel calm and well founded
Até minh'alma feel beijada, ai

O meu love
Tem um jeito meek that é só seu
That rouba my senses
Viola os meus ouvidos
With so many cute and indecent segregated
Depois jump with me
Ri do meu umbigo
E crava os dentes, ai

The letter is about a loving relationship from the perspective of the woman.

O olhar on or loved shows multiplicity of affections involved numa relação de casal. The sentiments vary from a fulminant paixão, passa pela luxúria até reach or pure affection and constância of compliance.

Em O meu love To share it, it is not the personality of the loved one as well as the relationship of love that you develop as or pass the tempo.
