    I just want to clarify that I am not the guy in the video. His name is Brad and his content is based around music criticism and reactions and I just saw this on his stream and recorded it. His channel link is in the description.
    If you want him to listen to the songs you suggested in the comments, he has a paid reaction stream every Tuesday and Saturday at 2PM CST on CZcams every week. If you want more information, I highly suggest waiting until he does another paid reaction stream and reading the description of the stream. There you will get all the information you will need to know.
    Also thank you for the views it’s great reading all of your comments it makes me really happy ❤️

    Some people in chat weren't a fan of the sudden loudness in the mixing but I think it's a perfect complement to the lyrics. The startling horns as the final verse of the story kicks in are a great synesthetic way to represent what's going on - a construction worker has fallen to his death and what ultimately matters is how his corpse has jumbled the traffic, the public, the Saturday. In a way, the ramp up in intensity communicates both the coldness of the moment and the actual noises you'd get in this situation, as if the cars were honking angrily at being inconvenienced by this person who's no longer being thought of as a human but as an obstacle in the middle of traffic

      I just now realized the parallels between this song and "The letter in a cement barrel", a short story by japanese author Hayama Yoshiki. Both talk about construction workers giving their every breath to survive at work, almost mixing their own beings with the machines they manage every day, and then once they die, they are already dehumanized, they are what they produced, what they were surrounded with, and no one at the scene will ever care for their lives because everyone is too worried with their own jobs and lives and machines. Crazy.

    Another one of the many details, is that when he sings that "he [ the worker ] dies in the wrong lane, messing up the traffic", you get overwhelmed with the horns, that are to signify the impatient cars trying to get through, and not really giving a damn about his situation or maybe even being used to seeing this type of thing.

    People ain't actually talking about the most important thing about this song: the cultural importance, since 1964 my country (Brazil) suferred a brutal military dictatorship and Chico was extraditaded for being too controversial, the dictatorship went until 1988 and most of the midia released before was stripped down for subliminal and political massages to don't stir up tension within the people, so you could not publish songs that had political messages, but Chico squeezed a few out like this one and Cálice and boomed on the radio, which ended getting him almost tortured

    In addition to the arrangement being very good, this song is really a linguistic construction, the verses are Alexandrian, that is, they have twelve poetic syllables and a split in the sixth syllable. This type of long verse requires a pause, and the result is a mid-verse cadence. Another important characteristic in the rhythm of the lyrics is that all verses end with proparoxytones, words whose tonic syllable is the antepenultimate. There are seventeen proparoxytones that are interspersed in the 41 verses that make up the song. The repetition of words generates a homophony effect, in which the same sounds that are repeated cause a rhythmic unit, and also corroborate with the everyday theme, in which days go by, one after the other, with small variations. The seventeen proparoxytones form the musical foundation of the lyrics. They are nouns and adjectives that support the actions that take place in the song. These actions are the journey of the construction worker throughout his day."

      I always see people saying that the song is full proparoxytones, but the last section has only oxytones apart from pague, that's paroxytone (but was sung as if it was a oxytone), all the others dormir, existir, sorrir, engolir, tossir, cair, cuspir, cobrir and redimir are oxytones.
      The music has also 53 verses, divided in 14 stanzas, organized as:
      three stanzas of 4 verses;
      one of 5 (end of the first section);
      three of 4;
      one of 5 (end of the second section);

    The verses work because they all wnd with a word that has the tonal sylable in the same position. You can observe in the portuguese subtitles the tonal sylable is marked by the accents ( ´ or ^ )
    And yes, it is pretty mind blowing, how the verses change meaning because of that one word.

    Some facts most non-Brazilian miss:
    I was elated that English speakers found the lyrics so good, but in Portuguese they are even more impressive: not only they rhyme and have same metric, but the adjectives that end the verses are all proparoxitones, which are rare in Portuguese. The adjectives are swapped, words used as interchangeable bricks in a wall, giving the verses new exquisite meanings, but that gets to the translation as well.
    The author, Chico Buarque, has a career of decades as a songwriter, playwright and novel author, having won the Camões prize, the most prestigious literary accolade in Portuguese language. He has literally dozens of lyrics as great as this one.
    The brilliant arrangement is by Rogério Duprat, who arranged many other Brazilian classics, and was one of the members of the Tropicalia movement, along Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil and the band Os Mutantes. Funny the comments comparing it to a 007 soundtrack, which of course was not an inspiration. The resemblance may be because both drink from the same sources, American movie music from the 30s and 40s, which in turn is based heavily on Gershwin, but with a much darker tone. The rhythm is pure samba, not bossa nova (which is a samba derivative).

    its like someone appealing to society to care about the people that are often invisible due to them being less wealthy, because the construction worker death is treated like something insignificant that is just blocking the cars(marked by the trumpets) on the lane

    Os instrumentos fazendo buzinas e barulho de cidade caótica junto ao peso da frase "morreu na contramão atrapalhando o tráfego", escrito usando o melhor que a língua portuguesa rica como é, possui , escrevendo algo que é impossível no inglês por ser uma língua muito mais pobre, tornam essa obra prima uma das maiores do século XX. Isso vindeo de alguém que não é fã do estilo.

      @@haze969 brabo, brabo. Eu tive uma aula na faculdade de letras sobre essa música e tem uma coisa que faz ela ficar muito hipnótica. É o fato de que todos os versos terminam em proparoxítonas (palavras com a antepenúltima sílaba forte). Última, tráfego, sábado, bêbado, tímido. Esse rítimo de forte-fraco-fraco dá uma ideia de queda, especialmente porque ele acentua muito as palavras. É sempre tííímido ou bêêêbado. A música tá sempre subindo e descendo, que nem o cara tá sempre escalando e caindo do prédio.
      Ainda que nem tudo rime, isso faz com que os versos dialoguem.
      Eu curto tbm que ele conta basicamente 3 versões da mesma história. A gente não sabe direito pq o cara caiu do prédio. Ele tava bêbado? Foi suicídio? Foi um acidente? Ele amava realmente a esposa ou era algo que ele fazia porque a sociedade impôs isso sobre ele?
      É uma música que se constrói e se desconstrói o tempo inteiro.

    This song was ranked by Rolling Stone Brazil as the greatest Brazilian song of all time, It is a piercing social critique of Brazilian/Latin American Society and a musical and lyrical masterpiece for the Ages. And CHICO BUARQUE DE HOLLANDA deserves a Nobel in Literature. I loved it that BOB DYLAN got one, well deserved as the poet he actually is with a massive creative body of musical lyrical work + 1 poetry book. CHICO BUARQUE has the same amount of creative, original, consistent and eternal body of work that equals Dylan's, slightly more academically impeccable than Dylan (who purposefully let that go to become more of a beatnik poet, the only beatnik to ever get a Nobel prize is Dylan, some may say) while CHICO also wrote full romances, that were bestsellers and he was awarded the Literary Prize Camões, the highest prize of literature in Portuguese language. Therefore #chicobuarquenobel ;-)

    If you guys were impressed by the cleverness in the lyrics, Chico Buarque has another song where he sings in Portuguese and French at the same time.
    I don't mean he swaps languages from verse to verse, i mean the same verse can be understood in two different but complementary meanings depending on the language you choose to interpret it.
    For an instance one verse goes
    O mar me arrebatou, which is heard as
    "Sea, tides, boats" < French
    "the sea has taken me" < Portuguese

    Sou brasileiro e fico hipnotizado com essa música toda vez. Aliás The song "Construção" by Chico Buarque is a powerful critique of the military dictatorship in Brazil. The lyrics depict the daily life of a construction worker who, even amidst oppression and lack of freedom, continues his labor. The song addresses the loss of identity and dehumanization caused by the authoritarian regime, as well as reflects on mortality and the transience of life. The melancholic melody and impactful verses make "Construção" a masterpiece of Brazilian music that echoes resistance and denunciation of social injustices
