Alcione was introduced to the traditional Brazilian music by her father. He was a military musician who worked as the conductor of the corps marching band. At the age of thirteen, she was already able to give vocal performance in college parties. At this same age, she began to study clarinet, and then learnt to play the trumpet.
At age 20 Alcione moved to Rio de Janeiro. There she worked at the city's TV Excelsior, and later went on tour in Argentina and Chile for four months. On returning to Brazil, she settled in São Paulo, working in nightclub and making appearances on television. In 1970, she started her two-year tour in Europe, performing as a vocalist and a trumpet artist.
In 1972, when back to Brazil, Alcione recorded her first single. The following year, she traveled to sing in Mexico and, in 1974, Portugal, where she recorded her first full-length album. In 1975 Alcione released her LP, A Voz do Samba, which achieved gold sales status and featured several hit tracks. The most successful songs were Não Deixe o Samba Morrer, written by Edson and Aloiso, and O Surdo, written by Totonho/Paulinho Resende.
In the late 1970s, Nazaré became well-known as a samba artist and achieved international recognition. She recorded Alerta Geral for Philips Records and, in 1978, released this album, the title of which was taken from a television show that Alcione had hosted on TV Globo for two years. Following its success, Alcione continued to release several other full-length albums in late 1970s and early 1980s, including her self-titled album.
In 1997, Alcione signed with Universal Records, subsequently releasing a label debut named Valeu, through Polygram the next year. This was followed by Celebração that same year, and Claridade---Uma Homenagem A Clara Nunes in 1999. In December 2002 Alcione was recognized for playing an important part in founding the Paraíso School of Samba in London, England. She also helped organizing and preparing the stage for a British version of the Carnival Brasil, Paraíso dos Orixás (Brazil, Paradise of the Gods). In 2003, her 2002 album, Ao Vivo, received the Best Samba/Pagode Album Award at fourth Latin Grammy Award ceremony.
She has interpreted several hits such as Não deixe o samba morrer, Lá vem você, Gostoso veneno and Ilha da maré.
On July 7, 2007 she performed at the Brazilian leg of Live Earth in Rio de Janeiro.
É Demais
Alcione Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
E ver nosso desejo manchar o lençol
E bem melhor que tudo é adormecer
Contigo, entrelaçado que nem caracol
Sonhar do teu lado
E acordar um voyeur
Olhando as suas curvas
Que brilham na luz do sol
Com a doçura do vento
Quando lambe o mar
Ouvir sua respiração disparar
Sentir em sua pele o perfume do amor
Te amar de manhã, sob a luz solar
Como sempre acontece
Com o colibri e a flor
É demais te ouvir dizer
Que eu sou seu homem
Vai, me mata de prazer na luz do alvorescer
Vem, me consome
Quando o fogo da paixão inflama o coração
Não há fadiga
É demais amanhecer, assim com esse desejo
De celebrar a vida

É bom deitar com você
It's nice to lie down with you
E ver nosso desejo manchar o lençol
And see our desire stain the sheet
E bem melhor que tudo é adormecer
And it's even better than everything to fall asleep
Contigo, entrelaçado que nem caracol
With you, intertwined like a snail
Sonhar do teu lado
Dreaming by your side
E acordar um voyeur
And waking up as a voyeur
Olhando as suas curvas
Looking at your curves
Que brilham na luz do sol
That shine in the sunlight
Sua pele acariciar
Caressing your skin
Com a doçura do vento
With the sweetness of the wind
Quando lambe o mar
When it licks the sea
Ouvir sua respiração disparar
Hearing your breathing quicken
Sentir em sua pele o perfume do amor
Feeling the fragrance of love on your skin
Te amar de manhã, sob a luz solar
Loving you in the morning, under the sunlight
Como sempre acontece
As it always happens
Com o colibri e a flor
With the hummingbird and the flower
É demais te ouvir dizer
It's too much to hear you say
Que eu sou seu homem
That I am your man
Vai, me mata de prazer na luz do alvorescer
Go, kill me with pleasure in the light of dawn
Vem, me consome
Come, consume me
Quando o fogo da paixão inflama o coração
When the fire of passion inflames the heart
Não há fadiga
There is no fatigue
É demais amanhecer, assim com esse desejo
It's too much to dawn like this, with this desire
De celebrar a vida
To celebrate life
