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.
Você Passa Eu Acho Graça
Clara Nunes Lyrics
Jump to: Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just like the storm that has come out of thin air
Gentle caresses, just as paper thin, frail
And only lack the strength to hold
What if I could go to sleep for days
Would you count the hours
Or would your restlessness consume
Fading memories of me?
Quick to deny that their open to deceit
Long to believe, support will never cease
Bitter and lonely, those they've left before
What if I could go to sleep for days
Would you count the hours
Or would your restlessness consume
Fading memories of me?
The vibrant heart so quickly growing old
The warmest eyes so quickly growing cold
Just a glance for they don't care to see
What becomes of me
The vibrant heart so quickly growing old
The warmest eyes so quickly growing cold
Just a glance for they don't care to see
What becomes of me
What becomes of me
What becomes of me
What if I could go to sleep for days
Would you count the hours
Or would your restlessness consume
What if I could go to sleep for days
Would you count the hours
Or would your restlessness consume
Fading memories of me?
No haven now as I watch it pour from everywhere
I feel like I have nowhere to go as I watch everything around me fall apart.
Just like the storm that has come out of thin air
The situation feels sudden and unexpected, like a storm appearing out of nowhere.
Gentle caresses, just as paper thin, frail
The things that used to offer me comfort and support now feel fragile and weak.
And only lack the strength to hold
They can't offer me the support I need because they are too weak themselves.
What if I could go to sleep for days
I wish I could escape from this situation by sleeping for a long time.
Would you count the hours
If I did sleep, would you be keeping track of how long I'm gone?
Or would your restlessness consume
Or would you be too anxious and restless to think about anything else?
Fading memories of me?
Would you forget about me while I'm gone?
Fall into open arms that offer their protection
I wish I could find someone to offer me protection and support.
Quick to deny that their open to deceit
But it's hard to tell who can be trusted, and many people will act like they care but really don't.
Long to believe, support will never cease
I want to believe that there are people who will always be there to support me, no matter what.
Bitter and lonely, those they've left before
But I know from experience that people will leave me feeling bitter and lonely.
The vibrant heart so quickly growing old
All this stress and anxiety is taking a toll on me, making me feel older than I am.
The warmest eyes so quickly growing cold
Even the people I trusted most are turning cold and distant toward me.
Just a glance for they don't care to see
They don't even want to look at me or acknowledge my pain.
What becomes of me
What will happen to me in this situation?
