He was considered the "ambassador" of the Favelas ( Brazilian Shanty Towns ). He was the singer of the Malandragem.
Bezerra was knowledgeable about life in the favelas, and the songs he sang are filled with slang terms having to do with drug dealing, the law, etc., and are often humorous. Later in life, not long before his passing, Bezerra gave up this life and became an evangelical Christian.
Não tenho Lar
Bezerra da Silva Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eu não tenho paradeiro
Quando é noite de luar
Eu moro na sombra do coqueiro.
Na sombra do coqueiro onde moro
Eu sinto imensa insastifação
Olhando para o céu, namoro a lua
The song "Não tenho Lar" by Bezerra da Silva talks about a person who has no place to call home and no fixed direction in life. The lyrics suggest that the singer is a lone wanderer who seeks refuge under the shade of a coconut tree during moonlit nights. The song further emphasizes the dissatisfaction and loneliness that the singer feels and how he seeks comfort by gazing at the moon.
The phrase "Eu não tenho lar" (I have no home) is repeated multiple times in the song, and it serves as an anthem for those who feel lost and adrift in life. The desperation and sadness in the singer's voice make the song hauntingly beautiful and relatable to all those who have experienced wanderlust or have felt a sense of displacement.
The phrase "na sombra do coqueiro" (under the shade of the coconut tree) represents a shelter or a place of refuge for the singer. The moon is often used as a symbol of hope, and in this song, it becomes a source of solace for the singer. The lyrics highlight the paradoxical nature of the human experience, where we can find beauty and peace even in the midst of our struggles.
