A researcher of Brazilian popular music, its rhythms and folklore, she has also traveled to many countries representing the Brazilian culture. A connoisseur of African music, dance, traditions, and religions, she converted to Candomblé and took Afro-Brazilian culture into her songs and costumes. She was one of the singers who recorded the most songs by the composers of Portela, her favorite samba school. She was also the first female Brazilian singer to sell more than one hundred thousand records, breaking a taboo according to which women did not sell records in Brazil. During her whole career she sold four million four hundred thousand records. She was considered by Rolling Stone magazine as the ninth greatest Brazilian voice and, by the same magazine, the fifty-first greatest Brazilian artist of all time.
On April 2, 1983, she died at age 40, after suffering from anaphylaxis during a surgery to treat varicose veins. Even today she remains one of the most popular singers in Brazil.
As Forças Da Natureza
Clara Nunes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Desafiando o poder da ci??ncia
Pra combater o mal
E o mar
Com suas ??guas bravias
Levar consigo o p?? dos nossos dias
Vai ser um bom sinal
Os pal??cios v??o desabar
E os ventos v??o sufocar o barulho infernal
Os homens v??o se rebelar
Dessa farsa descomunal
Vai voltar tudo ao seu lugar
Afinal
Vai resplandecer
Uma chuva de prata do c??u vai descer, la la la
O esplendor da mata vai renascer
E o ar de novo vai ser natural
Vai florir
Cada grande cidade o mato vai cobrir, ??, ??
Das ru??nas um novo povo vai surgir
E vai cantar afinal
As pragas e as ervas daninhas
As armas e os homens de mal
V??o desaparecer nas cinzas de um carnaval (2X)
The lyrics of Clara Nunes's song "As Forças Da Natureza" speak to the power and beauty of nature and its ability to restore balance and harmony to the world. The first verse describes how nature can overcome even the power of science, as it combats evil and brings the turbulent waters of the sea into alignment with the forces of the universe. The second verse predicts that man-made institutions and structures will crumble in the face of a great storm, and that human beings will rise up against the false narrative of power and control that has dominated society.
The chorus speaks of a new era of light and hope, symbolized by a "rain of silver" descending from the heavens and the rebirth of the forest, which will once again thrive and support life. The final verse speaks of the overthrow of tyranny and oppression, as the destructive forces of war and greed are consumed in the flames of a purifying fire, and a new world of peace and camaraderie emerges from the ashes.
Through her lyrics, Clara Nunes portrays nature not simply as a force to be reckoned with, but as a divine presence that holds the key to our collective salvation. By embracing the rhythms and cycles of nature, we can learn to live in harmony with ourselves and with the world around us, and in doing so, create a brighter, more loving future for all.

Juízo final
O sol há de brilhar mais uma vez
A luz há de chegar aos corações
Do mal será queimada a semente
O amor será eterno novamente
É o juízo final
A história do bem e do mal
Quero ter olhos pra ver
A maldade desaparecer
O amor será eterno novamente
Marlene Souza
