Canto do povo de um lugar
Caetano Veloso Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
E a gente canta
Ao sol de todo dia
Fim da tarde a terra cora
E a gente chora
Porque finda a tarde
E a gente dança
Venerando a noite
In Caetano Veloso's song "Canto do povo de um lugar", he explores the daily rituals of a community living in a particular place. The song begins with the sun rising every day, and how the people sing praises to it. This is indicative of the importance of the sun in this community's lives, as it provides warmth and energy for their daily activities. The sun is also symbolic of life and prosperity, and the people's singing may be a way of expressing their gratitude for these things.
Moving on to the end of the day, Veloso describes the sky turning red as the evening sets in. This is a melancholic moment for the people who live there because it signifies the end of the day and the setting of the sun. This may also represent the end of life, and the human experience of fleeting moments that come to an end. The community mourns the passing of the day as they continue to navigate the ups and downs of their lives.
Finally, as the night falls, the moon appears and the people dance to celebrate the darkness. This may represent the idea of balance, where darkness is celebrated as much as light. The night is seen as a time of play and enjoyment, where people can let go of their worries and have fun. Overall, Veloso's song highlights the cyclical and universal nature of human experience, from the rising of the sun to the falling of the night.

Todo dia o sol levanta
Every day the sun rises
E a gente canta
And we sing
Ao sol de todo dia
To the sun of every day
Fim da tarde a terra cora
At the end of the afternoon the earth blushes
E a gente chora
And we cry
Porque finda a tarde
Because the afternoon ends
Vem a noite a lua mansa
The night comes with the gentle moon
E a gente dança
And we dance
Venerando a noite
Revering the night

Uma música linda, que me foi apresentada cantada na voz do meu professor de artes Kleber quando estudava na escola Dalisia Doles. Simplesmente inesquecível.

Acho que a última vez que ouvi essa canção foi no início da adolescência. Hoje ela veio na minha mente e comecei a procurar. Tô bem emocionado por tê-la encontrado e ouvido. Caetano...só não és melhor que Milton! E isso é um baita elogio!!!
