E.C.T.
Cįssia Eller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
E por descuido abriu uma carta que encontrou
Tomou um susto que lhe abriu a boca
Esse recado veio pra mim, não pro senhor
Recebo crack, colante, dinheiro farto embrulhado
Em papel carbono e barbante e até cabelo cortado
Retrato de 3x4 pra batizado distante
Mas isso aqui, meu senhor, é uma carta de amor
Levo o mundo e não vou lá
Levo o mundo e não vou lá
Levo o mundo e não vou lá
Levo o mundo e não vou lá
Mas este cara tem a língua solta
A minha carta ele musicou
Tava em casa, a vitamina pronta
Ouvi no rádio a minha carta de amor
Dizendo "eu caso contente, papel passado e presente desembrulhado
Vestido, eu volto logo me espera
Não brigue nunca comigo eu quero ver nosso filho
O professor me ensinou a fazer uma carta de amor
The lyrics to Cássia Eller's song E.C.T. tell the story of a person who accidentally opens a letter that wasn't intended for them. They are surprised to find that the letter contains confessions of love, and even some shady dealings such as drugs and money. As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the letter is from someone close to the singer, as they recognize the handwriting and the content of the letter. It is revealed that the person who received the letter is a musician who used the contents of the letter to create a song for the world to hear.
The lyrics of the song can be interpreted in many ways, but one possible interpretation is that they underscore the complexity of human relationships. People have multiple facets to their personalities, and sometimes the things that they keep hidden from the world are revealed accidentally, as in the case of the letter. The juxtaposition of a love letter and the mention of drugs and money in the same letter is unexpected but also highlights the complicated nature of human emotions.

Tava com cara que carimba postais
She had the appearance of someone who stamps postcards
E por descuido abriu uma carta que encontrou
And by accident, she opened a letter she found
Tomou um susto que lhe abriu a boca
She was surprised, which made her mouth drop open
Esse recado veio pra mim, não pro senhor
This message was meant for me, not for you, sir
Recebo crack, colante, dinheiro farto embrulhado
I receive crack, glue, plentiful money packaged in carbon paper and string, and even cut hair
Em papel carbono e barbante e até cabelo cortado
Wrapped in carbon paper and string, and even cut hair
Retrato de 3x4 pra batizado distante
3x4 portrait for a distant baptism
Mas isso aqui, meu senhor, é uma carta de amor
But this here, my sir, is a love letter
Levo o mundo e não vou lá
I carry the world with me, but I don't go there
Mas este cara tem a língua solta
But this guy has a loose tongue
A minha carta ele musicou
He turned my letter into a song
Tava em casa, a vitamina pronta
I was at home, the vitamin ready
Ouvi no rádio a minha carta de amor
I heard my love letter on the radio
Dizendo 'eu caso contente, papel passado e presente desembrulhado
Saying 'I happily marry, with the papers signed and the present unwrapped
Vestido, eu volto logo me espera
Dressed, I'll be back soon, wait for me
Não brigue nunca comigo eu quero ver nosso filho
Don't ever fight with me, I want to see our child
O professor me ensinou a fazer uma carta de amor
The teacher taught me how to write a love letter
