Chico was talking about the civic-military dictatorship that began in 1964 with general Castello Branco in charge and in 1985 the republic was established and President Tancredo Neves was elected. Of course there's tons more history into that. But that was just to summarize that it was a different situation than bolsonaro's. Although he tried to establish a civic-military dictatorship when he wasn't reelected he wasn't able to do it.
I remember the crowd singing this song in the streets of every city of Brazil while marching against the government of B0lsonaro in the middle of the pandemic. It was a really crazy feeling to be living so close of something that we learned about in history classes like the dictatorship. So close we were able to understand those songs so vividly. There was a lot of fear, but at the same time a lot of hope when seeing so many people who were aware that we HAD to get out of those dark times. *In those days we sang this song as a prayer.* 😭

In time, Chico Buarque is a great poet of the Portuguese language, even awarded with the Camoes Prize in Portugal. The lyrics of his songs use all possible resources of the Portuguese language.
This question that you bring up about the joy of the rhythm and if you didn't know the lyrics you wouldn't understand what the song is about and would be dancing to the song is something very crucial in Brazilian subjectivity. Since the colonial era, with slavery, it had the need to use religious and cultural syncretism to be able to express its existence. The slaves made rodas ("circles") and danced capoeira or prayed while masquerading as dances were actually forms of resistance. During the dictatorship, happy music was a way to express hatred and anger at what was happening on a daily basis. In other words, hiding your true feelings with joy is something that is part of Brazilian culture. When foreigners bring that we are the country of joy, carnival and football. I say that we are the country that despite all the anger and suffering that has been caused to us, we will not lower our heads and show that we will be sad for their wickedness, nor will we forget it.
@@markabusireactions I'm not familiar with the genre so i can't assure you that, But chico was and are one of the pioneers of the "mpb" (popular brazilian music) and by doing a quick research their meanings are quite similar
a curiosity about the song: to overcome the previous censorship, Chico wrote lyrics longer than the content he intended to record, implying that it was a love story instead of a protest song. He also used a false name, the pseudonym "Julinho da Adelaide" because his name was heavily targeted by censors.
This song, in a lyrical way, sends a message to the military who were implementing the dictatorship in Brazil: a big f... We will survive your dictatorship
Brother, let me try to clear you out. The movie clip is new, bolsonaro was still an army soldier probably back when the song was released. But the creator of the movie clip used him as an example because bolsonaro claimed dictatorship was good and if he could he would bring it back. But no, chico didnt write it with no relation with bolsonaro. The many relations he does to the nature and metaphors were just to have his songs not censored. Many of his songs are talking about dictatorship indirectly to avoid being censored. Like "Calice"(glass for wine), that has the same sound as "cale-se"(shut up), in this song he sings: Pai, afasta de mim esse CALICE, de vinho tinto de sangue. " Father, take away from me this Glass of blood red wine. If you switch the words it would say: "Father, dont let them shut me up". But the censorship only receied the lyrics written, so he wrote calice and the song had a whole different meaning for the censors. While live, he used to shout loud: CALE-SE!(SHUT UP). It's chico. Another thing, instead of: in spite of you, tomorrow will be another day, I guess that would fit better: a new day.
As you already know it's a song about the dictatorship at the time in Brazil. But how did this pass censorship? The cover up is this lyrics can be interpreted as a love song, as a person that was hurt by their toxic lover and is angry and promises payback. Yeah, censors weren't very smart...
That's the song I blasted through my windows when Bolsonaro lost the election. This song was released in 1970, and the censors thought it was about the breakup of a very tumultuous relationship. When the song actually came out (keep in mind the censors had to approve only the lyrics and did so before it was recorded), they realized their mistake and recalled all the records. In 1978, when the dictatorship was coming to an end, they allowed Chico to re-release it. That's the version you listen to. There were no major changes in the lyrics, only the recording was done a bit better with the new technology available at the time. In 1984, Chico released a sort of "part 2" to this song called "Vai Passar." By then, it was only a matter of months until the dictatorship ended, and it was a kind of "well... we made it."
Acho que agora vc pode "blast it out your windows once again", pra comemorar a censura do nosso Xandão. Mas acho que vc concorda com essa censura, né. Afinal, é pro bem da nossa demogracinha.
The lesson in old samba and bossa is not to forget laughing while crossing hell or living through injustice. Laughing and loving means to forget the world thats is trying to make you forget how to laugh and love. And that is why its those musics are so powerful, that is why its a weapon.
Chico Buarque is the Brazil´s greatest poet, artist, singer, composer. A genius. A revolutionary. A socialist. A fighter for j ustice. Viva Francisco Buarque de Holanda! Chico forever.
Beautiful! Chico is also a sound composer of love songs, aside from social commentary ones or political ones! He have quite a few written from the perspective of a woman indeed, such as Meu Guri, Olhos nos Olhos, Pedaço de Mim.
HiMark, this song is a lovley samba...I think costruccion is just amazing , the lyrics in this one are quite direct .Construcción IS just amazing. Bolzonaro wasa president in Brazil but not from the time of this song. I do not know so much of Brazilian history, but in te seventies the hole Latinoamérica sufgered of dictator goberments, the USA was so scared of comunisim that financiated all of them. There IS an amazing song of Residente ( a raper from Puerto Rico) called This IS not América. He gives a history class of the hole Latinoamérica. Great reaction and do not worry about your accent, IS quite nice. Keep on with with this beautiful culture, a couple of songs : La danza de las libélulas Manuel García y Mon Laferte. Both from Chile, and El Mareo- Bajo fondo ft. Gustavo Cerati, Bajo fondo IS a tecno-tango band (3from Argentina-3from Uruguay) and Cerati was from Argentina, he was on one of the best rock bandas from Argentina, incredible musicoan, song writer and singer. LOVE your channel
I just found your channel and already loved your way to react to the songs. That's the second video I'm watching, the first one was Contrução. Before and now it's super interesting watch your expressions when the rithm changes or when you get the real meaning of the lyrics. The smirk is so point on that I talk to the video "yeah, did you notice that?" lmao keep going, you have a new subscriber
In this song, you represent the military who were in power during the military dictatorship, where he announced that at some point they would lose power, democracy would win and at that moment he would want to see how they would deal with the loss of power.
13:06 when you talked about how the state and some people didn't notice how beautiful the music is reminded me of a moment that happened on the last 6 years, the suporters of Bolsonaro where marching and "protesting" for a military intervention and where singing this song and other Chicos songs but didn't realized that the songs where completely against what they where wanting and asking
React to Chico Buarque's "Deus lhe pague" (May God pay you back). The end of the song (construction) that you already reacted to... quote excerpts from that song.
Everytime I see any Portuguese song translated to English I can only feel how the Brazilian portuguese is DEEP in poetry and how this language is beautiful and if you don't understand Portuguese you will never understand it fully.
I can totally see that I’m not understanding the full nuance of the lyrics when I’m reacting to these, but I’m enjoying the songs enough that I still feel it’s worth my time checking them out!
This song was presented to dictatorship censors as a reference to an unpleasant person. Only when he became popular did the dictatorship realize, but it was late. Your essence should never be forgotten. The pocket movement in Brazil has aroused many sewage rats and it will be hard to get them back there.
If you got intrested on this brazilian protest music, you should also check a famous take from Elis Regina singing "Como nossos Pais" (just like our parents), writen by Belchior. It was a live national TV take at the biggest music festival in Brasil in 1976 (during dictatorship). I won't spoil anymore of it. I'm sure you will get it.
Geny e o Zeppelin ( Chico Buarque) 1980 essa letra é um story bord, Chico ao compor essa música,mostra a genialidade que nunca vi ,em nenhum compositor do planeta
You got this right... most of the time, not always of course, brazilian music has a "happy beat", even if the lyrics are heavy and dark. That's in my opinion is a reflection of our personality.. We say often, ok things are tough right now, let's not lose our grip, let's go outside, live our lives the best we can, sadness itself won't do us any good. By the way, of course Chico Buarque is a leftist singer, but not all of his songs have a political undertone, some are very romantic as well. Thanks mate.
When Bolsonaro was defeated, this song was once again our anthem. To sing "despite you, tomorrow will be another day" was so freeing, a relief and a hope.
Despite all the horrors of the dictatorship time (maybe because of them), the music field was very prolific. There are lots of great protest songs "desguised" to deceive the censors. "Cálice" by Chico Buarque and Milton Nascimento "Pra não dizer que não falei das flores" by Geraldo Vandré "O bêbado e a equilibrista" by João Bosco and Aldir Blanc and sung by Elis Regina "Alegria, alegria" by Caetano Veloso "Eu quero é botar meu bloco na rua" by Sérgio Sampaio "Como nossos pais" by Belchior and sung by Elis Regina And many great others!
The authoritarian military regime drove Chico Buarque and other Brazilian artists into exile. It was a difficult period where citizens who were against the regime could be killed in the basements of the dictatorship. Thank you for reacting.
@@marina20091949 somente os que queriam “liberdade de expressão” a filha do Chico nasceu na Itália, Caetano e Gil foram para Londres, muitos se exilaram. Finalmente teremos o memorial da ditadura para que não aconteça nunca mais. Nunca mais.
@@marina20091949you just outed yourself as an horrible and despicable person, saying it Is ok to do to anyone what the dictatorship did is absolutely appalling. Shameful.
Not many things make me proud of being Brazilian, most to do with politicians but when i listening lyrics like that …. Wow !!!!!, I kind of forget of being born in a third world country.
By the way, Anthony Burgess was not only a writer, but also a musician, and he wrote symphonies - which I'm sure informed his use of Beethoven in _A Clockwork Orange._ Anyway, great reaction. As a Brazilian who grew up with this music, I'm glad that you found Chico Buarque. If you're curious enough to keep exploring it, you may find that Brazilian music is a treasure trove with a fair amount of precious gems. You may want to check out Tom Jobim, at least.
Chico's really great, and your reactions so far have been really fun to watch. If I may give you a suggestion as a brazilian and a new fan, the song "meu guri" is really good too, I think it would be worth a reaction.
He wasn't talking about this shitty B prasident we had. By the time he wtote this song, this mentioned former president was a young military who was soon going to be "expelled" from the army for planning a plot. But this song fits perfectly to this situation, too. Many people used to sing it when this creature was elected.
ouvindo essa música agora depois de estudar a ditadura, eu fico admirada com a coragem e força que Chico, Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Elis Regina e tantos outros artistas tiveram de lançar músicas tão escancaradas, é de se admirar pra sempre! muitos se exilaram ou foram até presos
The part of the lyrics you thought was very cold, about charging the the suffering with interest is very interesting in portuguese, because the word for "interest" and to "I swear" are almost the same in this case, with only one extra "S", causing a repetition. So the song says "Vou cobrar com JUROS, JURO", literally translating to "I will charge with interest, I swear".
Has a song called "É" from the singer Gonzaguinha, was another song that criticized the military dictatorship period in Brazil, talking about the people's wishes. It talks a lot with this song by Chico. In fact, Gonzaguinha has great songs like "O que é? o que é?"
Amazing analysis for an amazing song! If you want to cover more Chico Buarque songs, I recommend "Cálice" - but before you review it, keep in mind that "cálice" ('chalice', 'goblet') sounds like "cale-se" ("shut up", "be quiet"), so it's worth listening to it with both meanings.
Chico was amazing in dodging censorship. Eventually, they started to ban all songs he wrote, no matter the content of the lyrics. By 73, he had to release an album solely composed of other songwriter pieces. However, he cleverly mixed them with one song he wrote, "Jorge Maravilha" and credited it to a pseudonym. It's intended to make fun of how, during one of his arrests, a military policeman asked him for an autograph. If you like his works, listen to "Caro Amigo". He wrote it to his exiled friends, telling Brazilian's situation during their absence.
Esse povo que ataca o Chico é gente fascista ele é um grande ator, compositor,escritor,teatrólogo,etc quem fala dele são os mesmos que ataca a cultura popular.
Man love your reactions to Chico, he is one of a lot of Brazilian artists that made art opposing the dictatorship. I would love to see your reaction to Cálice, is another music made to avert sensorship and was a lot o hiden meanings (and was made with another great artist Milton Nascimento). And i saw a comment asking in portuguese for you tu react to another Chico song - Gina e o Zapelim. And thought to pass it on to you.
This is a acid, hard and political music in substance, but it is in a poetic and happy form and verses. It is genial ! There was censor about cultural and music manifestation in this time. Then, Chico didn't sing with direct words about anything wrong or bad.
yeah, Chico Buarque framed this song like a letter from a jilted lover in order to evade censorship. I think it's a testament to the military's stupidity that they only caught on after the song became a radio hit, and by then they could do nothing about it. Another classic by him is "Vai Passar", which was composed towards the tail end of the dictatorship. Lyrically it's just as beautiful but the vibe is very different, I would recommend that next.
Bolsonaro, horrible as he was, was small potatoes compared to the military dictatorship from 1964 to 1985. Bolsonaro praised tortures of those times, he tried to have a new military regime but was unsuccessful. At the time Chico released this song, everything was censored beforehand. The censors were however fooled by the lyrics, imagining it was some kind of wounded heart outburst. To that purpose the rhythm helps, as you yourself can attest, if you dont pay attention to the lyrics, they go over your head . Chico himself was radiant and unbelieving when he was told the song had been approved by the censors. If go through the the catalog of songs from that period, there s a miriad of coded messages in many of the most beloved brazilian songwriters. But none did it better than Chico Buarque. You need to listen to "Como nossos pais" by Elis Regina.

Oh, man, you need to do a deep dive on Calice - Chico Buarque ft. Milton Nascimento. It's peak covert art against dictatorship. And please check the Milton Nascimento + Esperanza Spalding tiny desk if you haven't yet.
@@markabusireactions gotta say i’m curious about this one, cause even the title is a play on different words that sound the same. Do your thing man, love your vídeos.
Ahh I knew that from the comments, so I was able to go into this one with a little bit of extra knowledge that helped me a lot!! I’m really proud of how this one turned out lol
Just a few corrections, in my opion he is not like Bob Dylan... I like Bob, but its way diferent. Chico is amazing poet AND writter, he wrotes several books and teatrical plays, like Calabar, Ópera do malandro, Saltinbancos (one adaptation of an Italian play), Chapeuzinho Amarelo, Gota D'água (who, also, is the title of a song of his)... ALSO, he is good on political musics, BUT his love songs, oh wow. And the erotic ones too... also, he always writting songs about woman, how woman fells in a relationship, the machism, feminism, the stupidity oif this war man X woiman, several things... and ALSO about human being, how they fell, how they are despised (not just the poor, but middles classes too), how they have empty lives, but how can love fill those lifes... Theres a song who is Antitese of Apesar de Você (who claims that a new day, glorious day, will arrive when a bad "govermente" pass0 is "Vai Passar", also from Chico, qhere people goes to carnival to celebrate, doesnt matter how bad the goverment is... we will make a party and have fun ("despise the goverment"? and everything else) cos its our way. Chico is amazing, thnaks for react
Please. A perfect next song for you to react is 'Geni e o Zepelim'. A storytelling song.... By the way, if you want to get into Brazilian music and strong lyrics, a gateway is the band Legião Urbana with the songs 'Faroeste Caboclo', 'Eduardo e Mônica' and 'Índios'...

Despite all the horrors of the dictatorship time (maybe because of them), the music field was very prolific. There are lots of great protest songs "desguised" to deceive the censors.
"Cálice" by Chico Buarque and Milton Nascimento
"Pra não dizer que não falei das flores" by Geraldo Vandré
"O bêbado e a equilibrista" by João Bosco and Aldir Blanc and sung by Elis Regina
"Alegria, alegria" by Caetano Veloso
"Eu quero é botar meu bloco na rua" by Sérgio Sampaio
"Como nossos pais" by Belchior and sung by Elis Regina
And many great others!
The authoritarian military regime drove Chico Buarque and other Brazilian artists into exile. It was a difficult period where citizens who were against the regime could be killed in the basements of the dictatorship. Thank you for reacting.
Que exagero....somente os terroristas comunistas eram tratados com firmeza, para mim que vivi antes e depois dessa fase foi o melhor tempo para tudo.
@@marina20091949 somente os que queriam “liberdade de expressão” a filha do Chico nasceu na Itália, Caetano e Gil foram para Londres, muitos se exilaram. Finalmente teremos o memorial da ditadura para que não aconteça nunca mais. Nunca mais.
@@marina20091949you just outed yourself as an horrible and despicable person, saying it Is ok to do to anyone what the dictatorship did is absolutely appalling. Shameful.
Not many things make me proud of being Brazilian, most to do with politicians but when i listening lyrics like that …. Wow !!!!!, I kind of forget of being born in a third world country.
BR❤❤
Thank you for the reaction.
thanks for reaction!!
By the way, Anthony Burgess was not only a writer, but also a musician, and he wrote symphonies - which I'm sure informed his use of Beethoven in _A Clockwork Orange._ Anyway, great reaction. As a Brazilian who grew up with this music, I'm glad that you found Chico Buarque. If you're curious enough to keep exploring it, you may find that Brazilian music is a treasure trove with a fair amount of precious gems. You may want to check out Tom Jobim, at least.
Ivy sent me. Watched and liked. ✌🏻💜
Lonnie! My favorite bird 🐦💗
Chico made a lot of songs for the theater
Chico Buarque foi perseguido na ditadura e foi exilado na Itália b ele é um poeta, escritor etc.
This song was made in 1970 in that context, it has nothing to do with current Brazilian politics. 🙏🏻
I knew I had that wrong! 😂
Tem tudo haver com o Bolsonaro que defende tortura e ditadura, ele nunca negou a simpatia com o regime totalitário
Voce tem q escutar raul seixas, ele é o rei do rock brasileiro
Chico's really great, and your reactions so far have been really fun to watch. If I may give you a suggestion as a brazilian and a new fan, the song "meu guri" is really good too, I think it would be worth a reaction.
Obrigada pelo vídeo!
Album Estrangeiro de Caetano Veloso, Bowie Carioca.
I'm loving your rections cuz of how deep you go in to figure out the meaning. Your next song should be Geni e o Zepelim without a doubt. Cheers!
He wasn't talking about this shitty B prasident we had. By the time he wtote this song, this mentioned former president was a young military who was soon going to be "expelled" from the army for planning a plot.
But this song fits perfectly to this situation, too. Many people used to sing it when this creature was elected.
ouvindo essa música agora depois de estudar a ditadura, eu fico admirada com a coragem e força que Chico, Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Elis Regina e tantos outros artistas tiveram de lançar músicas tão escancaradas, é de se admirar pra sempre! muitos se exilaram ou foram até presos
The part of the lyrics you thought was very cold, about charging the the suffering with interest is very interesting in portuguese, because the word for "interest" and to "I swear" are almost the same in this case, with only one extra "S", causing a repetition. So the song says "Vou cobrar com JUROS, JURO", literally translating to "I will charge with interest, I swear".
Has a song called "É" from the singer Gonzaguinha, was another song that criticized the military dictatorship period in Brazil, talking about the people's wishes. It talks a lot with this song by Chico. In fact, Gonzaguinha has great songs like "O que é? o que é?"
Amazing analysis for an amazing song!
If you want to cover more Chico Buarque songs, I recommend "Cálice" - but before you review it, keep in mind that "cálice" ('chalice', 'goblet') sounds like "cale-se" ("shut up", "be quiet"), so it's worth listening to it with both meanings.
Chico was amazing in dodging censorship. Eventually, they started to ban all songs he wrote, no matter the content of the lyrics. By 73, he had to release an album solely composed of other songwriter pieces. However, he cleverly mixed them with one song he wrote, "Jorge Maravilha" and credited it to a pseudonym. It's intended to make fun of how, during one of his arrests, a military policeman asked him for an autograph.
If you like his works, listen to "Caro Amigo". He wrote it to his exiled friends, telling Brazilian's situation during their absence.
Chico is a genius
You should try tropicalia by caetano veloso, malandragem by cassia eller, cotidiano by chico and fudeu by fresno !
Muito boa sua análise e também seus comentários, parabéns!! Ouça ¨As Vitrines¨, uma canção de amor do Chico muito bonita.
Esse povo que ataca o Chico é gente fascista ele é um grande ator, compositor,escritor,teatrólogo,etc quem fala dele são os mesmos que ataca a cultura popular.
Man love your reactions to Chico, he is one of a lot of Brazilian artists that made art opposing the dictatorship. I would love to see your reaction to Cálice, is another music made to avert sensorship and was a lot o hiden meanings (and was made with another great artist Milton Nascimento).
And i saw a comment asking in portuguese for you tu react to another Chico song - Gina e o Zapelim. And thought to pass it on to you.
A letra dessa canção denunciava os abusos dos militares durante anos de chumbo de repressão, torturas e mortes
I like how your mind goes here
The song is about the dictatorship time in Brazil, not Bolsonaro, although it fits.
This is a acid, hard and political music in substance, but it is in a poetic and happy form and verses. It is genial ! There was censor about cultural and music manifestation in this time. Then, Chico didn't sing with direct words about anything wrong or bad.
Beautiful reaction
Thank you!!
I think you'll like the song "Meu caro amigo"
yeah, Chico Buarque framed this song like a letter from a jilted lover in order to evade censorship. I think it's a testament to the military's stupidity that they only caught on after the song became a radio hit, and by then they could do nothing about it.
Another classic by him is "Vai Passar", which was composed towards the tail end of the dictatorship. Lyrically it's just as beautiful but the vibe is very different, I would recommend that next.
tem que pedir pra ele reagir a " Geni e o Zeppelin - Chico Buarque "
Poor guys from the censorship felt sorry for this dude that was cheated by a heartless woman... I am glad they were fooled!
Precisas ver a música "Geni", do Chico.
Tente encontrar " Ópera do Malandro" música dessa mesma Peça .
Suggestions: Mulheres de Atenas and Grande amor - both Chico Buarque
React to “Roda Viva” Too it’s a similar song and he played in a program criticizing the government in the program that was from the government haha
tenho muita dificuldade em entender o inglês dele kkkkkkkkjkkkk que humilhação
It’s okay, my accent is very strong!
Hi, my friend. That's a beautiful song. Could you react to Roda Viva by Chico Buarque?
Bolsonaro, horrible as he was, was small potatoes compared to the military dictatorship from 1964 to 1985. Bolsonaro praised tortures of those times, he tried to have a new military regime but was unsuccessful.
At the time Chico released this song, everything was censored beforehand. The censors were however fooled by the lyrics, imagining it was some kind of wounded heart outburst. To that purpose the rhythm helps, as you yourself can attest, if you dont pay attention to the lyrics, they go over your head .
Chico himself was radiant and unbelieving when he was told the song had been approved by the censors.
If go through the the catalog of songs from that period, there s a miriad of coded messages in many of the most beloved brazilian songwriters. But none did it better than Chico Buarque.
You need to listen to "Como nossos pais" by Elis Regina.
Listen: O Mundo é um Moinho - Cartola.
Listen: Como Nossos Pais - Belchior or Elis Regina.
Listen: Ouro de Tolo - Raul Seixas.
Markabusi, reaja( reaction) a música do cantor TAIGUARA: Universo no Teu Corpo ou Sete Cena de Imyra! Grato!
Next song should be "cotidiano" :)
React to "Domingo no Parque" - Gilberto Gil
Oh, man, you need to do a deep dive on Calice - Chico Buarque ft. Milton Nascimento. It's peak covert art against dictatorship.
And please check the Milton Nascimento + Esperanza Spalding tiny desk if you haven't yet.
It’s coming in a few days, don’t worry 😉
@@markabusireactions Can’t wait, mate!
@@markabusireactions gotta say i’m curious about this one, cause even the title is a play on different words that sound the same. Do your thing man, love your vídeos.
Ahh I knew that from the comments, so I was able to go into this one with a little bit of extra knowledge that helped me a lot!! I’m really proud of how this one turned out lol
Just a few corrections, in my opion he is not like Bob Dylan... I like Bob, but its way diferent. Chico is amazing poet AND writter, he wrotes several books and teatrical plays, like Calabar, Ópera do malandro, Saltinbancos (one adaptation of an Italian play), Chapeuzinho Amarelo, Gota D'água (who, also, is the title of a song of his)... ALSO, he is good on political musics, BUT his love songs, oh wow. And the erotic ones too... also, he always writting songs about woman, how woman fells in a relationship, the machism, feminism, the stupidity oif this war man X woiman, several things... and ALSO about human being, how they fell, how they are despised (not just the poor, but middles classes too), how they have empty lives, but how can love fill those lifes...
Theres a song who is Antitese of Apesar de Você (who claims that a new day, glorious day, will arrive when a bad "govermente" pass0 is "Vai Passar", also from Chico, qhere people goes to carnival to celebrate, doesnt matter how bad the goverment is... we will make a party and have fun ("despise the goverment"? and everything else) cos its our way.
Chico is amazing, thnaks for react
Please react to Maísa Matarazzo- Meu mundo caiu 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Please. A perfect next song for you to react is 'Geni e o Zepelim'. A storytelling song....
By the way, if you want to get into Brazilian music and strong lyrics, a gateway is the band Legião Urbana with the songs 'Faroeste Caboclo', 'Eduardo e Mônica' and 'Índios'...
react to "João e Maria" by Chico Buarque, please!!
do a reaction to the song "calice" in my opinion his best song

Obrigada pela atenção.🥰❤️❤️❤️
React "Geni e o Zeppelin " please!!!!
"Deus" inventou a tristeza! = ("God" invented sadness!) = (humanity invented suffering!)
You are right in what you said about BOlsonaro .Chico is very strongly opposed to him, as most of us Brazilians are (me included).
Digite "os escafandristas" no Google 😂 você vai gostar...só o poeta dos "dodecassílabos esdrúxulos" poderia colocar numa música "escafandristas" 😂ou "paralelepípedo " gênio é pouco 😮
“você” is written wrongly in the title of the video 😊
I’ll fix it!
Check meu guri from Chico, it is amazing!
You need stay in Brazil
9:54 bolsonaro is a weak echoe of the dictatorship.
