"BONNIE is a uruguayan band, born in march 2007, when a group of old friends got together just to make good music. We started playing classic rock covers in private parties and different clubs, while working on some creations of our own. Seeing that people are taking interest in our music, we started to work hard to make more and better songs."

Cravo é Canela
Bonnie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cigana quem temperou?
O cheiro do cravo.
Ê cigana quem temperou?
Morena quem temperou?
A cor de canela.
A lua morena
A dança do vento
E o sol da manhã
A chuva cigana
A dança dos rios
O mel do cacau
E o sol da manhã
The luna morena
The sound of the woods
The taste of the clove
Cinnamon stone
The rainy cigana
The dance of the rivers
The taste of the clove
Cinnamon stone
Fernando de Paula Junior
The lyrics of Bonnie 'Prince' Billy/Tortoise's song "Cravo e Canela" are written in Portuguese and offer a poetic and metaphorical description of the sensations and experiences that come with love. The song begins with the question "Who seasoned the clove? Was it the dark-skinned one or the gypsy?" This line metaphors love as being like the seasoning of the clove that makes everything richer and more exciting, and the reference to the dark-skinned one and the gypsy suggests an exotic and mysterious quality to this love.
Throughout the rest of the lyrics, various other elements are brought in, such as the color of cinnamon (another warming spice), the dark moon, the dance of the wind and rivers, the sweetness of cocoa, and the sun of the morning. Together, these elements paint a picture of nature and the senses as all being wrapped up in this love, suggesting that love is something that colors and enhances everything around it.
Overall, the lyrics of "Cravo e Canela" offer a powerful and evocative expression of the experience of love, one that is grounded in the natural world and the sensations we experience within it.
