Alceu Valenca was born in countryside Pernambuco, Northeast Brazil. He is considered the most successful artist in achieving an aesthetic balance between traditional northeastern Brazilian music and a broad range of electronic sounds and effects from pop music. One can find traces of maracatu, coco and "repentes de viola" (improvising fast-paced Brazilian folk music) in most of his songs. Alceu was able to utilize the electric guitar the electric bass, and lately even a synthesizer was added to his broad scope of musical instruments.
Because of that, Alceu was able to recreate Northeastern traditional music, like baiao, coco, toada, maracatu, frevo, caboclinhos, embolada and repentes: all sung with a sometimes rock sometimes alternative sounding music background. His music and his themes are intangible, universal and unlimited. However, his aesthetic basis is genuinely Brazilian Northeastern music.
Amor Que Vai
Alceu Valença Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Amor foge e vai embora
Amor que leva seus teréns
Pra não termotivo de voltar
Amor que vai
Num cavalo alado chamado brisa
Amor que vem
Num galope rasgado na beira-mar
Amor comendo a maçã
Amor é pura incerteza
O que será amanhã?
The song Amor Que Vai by Alceu Valença talks about the uncertainty and unpredictability that comes with love. The lyrics describe how love comes and goes, and how it can be both beautiful and painful. The song talks about how love has the power to take away everything that one holds dear, and how it can leave one with nothing to hold onto.
The first verse talks about how love comes and goes, using the metaphor of a horse. Love is described as a horse that is constantly moving, never staying still for long. Love has the power to take away one's possessions and leave them with nothing. The second verse describes how love can be both beautiful and painful. Love can be like a breezy ride on a horse, but it can also be like a rough gallop along the beach. The third verse describes how love can be destructive and tempting, like taking a bite out of an apple. The chorus concludes with the uncertainty of what the future holds, as love is pure uncertainty.
Overall, the song is a reflection on the power and unpredictability of love. It shows how love can be both positive and negative, and how it can leave one uncertain about the future.

Lembro, há uns 15 anos atrás, das noites de quando meu pai chegava em casa, cansado do trabalho e colocava um CD tipo coletânea do Alceu pra tocar. Essa música é a quarta faixa desse CD que existe até os dias de hoje. Esse ritual acabou fazendo parte da minha infância, o que me fez muito gostar das obras Valencianas desde então...
