After a brief success in Bahia, they moved to Rio de Janeiro, in 1983. Their debut LP, "Camisa de Vênus", was made famous with the song "Bete Morreu". Other tunes that consagrated the band were "Eu Não Matei Joana D'arc" and "Simca Chambord". They disbanded in the late 80s, and singer Marcelo Nova recorded an album with fellow Raul Seixas. In 1994, Camisa de Vênus got back together, releasing two new albuns.

Camisa de Vênus Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Eu acredito no bem e no mal
Eu acredito no imposto predial
Eu acredito, eu acredito

Eu acredito nos livros da estante
Eu acredito em Flávio Cavalcante
Eu acredito, eu acredito
Não vai haver amor neste mundo nunca mais

Eu acredito no seu ponto de vista
Eu acredito no partido trabalhista
Eu acredito, eu acredito

Eu acredito em toda essa cascata
Eu acredito no beijo do papa
Eu acredito, eu acredito
Não vai haver amor neste mundo nunca mais

Eu acredito em quem anda com fé
Eu acredito em Xuxa e em Pelé
Eu acredito, eu acredito

Eu acredito na escada pro sucesso
Eu acredito na ordem e no progresso
Eu acredito, eu acredito
Não vai haver amor neste mundo nunca mais

Eu acredito que o amor atrai
Eu acredito em mamãe e papai
Eu acredito, eu acredito

Eu acredito no Cristo que padece
Eu acredito no INPS
Eu acredito, eu acredito
Não vai haver amor neste mundo nunca mais

Eu acredito no milagre que não vem
Eu acredito nos homens de bem
Eu acredito, eu acredito

Eu acredito nas boas intenções

Mais este papo ja encheu os meus culhões
Eu não acredito, eu não acredito

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Camisa de Vênus's song "O Adventista" seem to be making a statement about the singer's belief in different things, from good and evil to political parties and celebrities. The chorus repeats that there will never be love in this world again. The song can be interpreted as a criticism of blind faith and the idea that people believe in things without questioning the validity of these beliefs. The use of the phrase "eu acredito" (I believe) multiple times in the song emphasizes this idea.

The lyrics also contain paradoxes, as some of the things the singer believes in seem to contradict each other. For example, they believe in both the working-class party and the order and progress of the nation. They also believe in Xuxa and Pelé, who represent different aspects of Brazilian pop culture. Overall, the song seems to be a commentary on the confusing and contradictory state of belief in modern society.
