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.
Abandono
Alcione Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Abandonado
Onde eu vivo, sem ninguém
Relembrando os momentos felizes
Do passado
Sinto falta de alguém
Que foi meu grande amor
Amargando meus desejos
Vejo a noite caminhar
Vem amor! Que é fria a madrugada
E eu não sou mais nada
Sem teu calor
Quando a noite retorna ao meu lar
Abandonado
Onde eu vivo, sem ninguém
Relembrando os momentos felizes
Do passado
Sinto falta de alguém
Que foi meu grande amor
E em meu quarto, ansiosa de beijos
Amargando os meus desejos
Vejo a noite caminhar
Vem amor! Que é fria a madrugada
E eu não sou mais nada
Sem teu calor
Vem amor! Que é fria a madrugada
E eu não sou mais nada
Sem teu calor
The lyrics of Alcione's song "Abandono" express feelings of loneliness and longing for someone who was once a great love. The singer of the song is depicted living in a deserted home, where they reminisce about happy moments from the past. As the night returns to their abandoned dwelling, they feel the absence of that special someone who used to bring warmth and love to their life.
The lyrics capture the sense of yearning and emptiness experienced by the singer. They find themselves in their room, craving kisses and suffering from unfulfilled desires. The night becomes a metaphor for their solitude, slowly progressing as they continue to long for the presence of their lost love.
Overall, "Abandono" offers a poignant reflection on the void left by a significant relationship and the deep longing for companionship and affection. It portrays the emotional impact of feeling abandoned and the desperate need for the warmth and comfort that love once provided.
