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.

Alcione Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mas jogue a primeira pedra quem jamais errou
Quem alguma vez na vida não se enganou
Pra que condenar se é mais fácil perdoar...perdoar...
Já paguei...
Pelo que eu fiz de errado com seu coração
Que castigo é pior do que a solidão
Aprendi...é vc ou nada...
Tive o mundo em minhas mãos e joguei tudo fora...por nada
Hoje eu sei que não tem saida
Tô pedindo pra você voltar...
Tô pedindo pra você ficar em minha vida...
Alcione...
Perdoei...
Que orgulho nada, quero amor no coração
Que se dane o mundo eu tô afim dessa paixão...
Só quem nunca errou é que não tem perdão...Pra que negar...
Aprendi...é vc ou nada...
Tive o mundo em minhas mãos e joguei tudo fora...por nada
Hoje eu sei que não tem saida
Tô pedindo pra você voltar...
Tô pedindo pra você ficar em minha vida...
Aprendi...é vc ou nada...
Tive o mundo em minhas mãos e joguei tudo fora...por nada
Hoje eu sei que não tem saida
Tô pedindo pra você voltar...
Tô pedindo pra você ficar em minha vida...
Valeu Marrom...
Valeu Belo...
Valeu.........
Fabio (Santo André)
The lyrics of Alcione's song "Não Tem Saída" talk about the regrets of a person who has made mistakes in a relationship and is now asking for forgiveness and a second chance. The singer admits to having erred, but questions the need for condemnation when forgiveness is easier. She has already paid for her mistakes with the loneliness that followed, but it seems like nothing is worse than being without her loved one. She has learned that it is her love interest or nothing and that there is no other way out for her. She is asking for their return, stating that she needs them in her life.
The song showcases the vulnerability of the singer as she confesses her mistakes and asks for forgiveness. It is a reminder to everyone that making mistakes is human, but that it is important to learn from them and try your best to make amends. The chorus of the song "Não Tem Saída" is particularly compelling and catchy, with its simple melody and repetition of the plea for the return of the loved one.
