Canto da Yara
Di Melo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que levou Zeca de Creuza
Numa noite de São João
Ela vem Cantar de noite
Quando a lua está bem clara
Esperando quem lhe queira
Bem lá no fundo do rio.
Quando o Zeca pescador
Ele viu, bem lá na proa.
Um sorriso feiticeiro
A Yara lhe dizia, Venha cá bonito moço.
Que eu lhe dou minha, fortuna
E o colar do meu pescoço.
E Zeca sem dizer nada, mergulhou no colo dela
E sumiu nas profundezas do açude encantado
The lyrics to Di Melo's song "Canto da Yara" depict a story about Yara, a mythical figure who lives in a pond or lake. The song tells the tale of Zeca, who was taken by Yara one night during the São João festivities. Yara only appears to sing at night when the moon is bright, waiting for someone who desires her at the bottom of the river.
When Zeca, the fisherman, approached in his canoe, he saw Yara's enchanting smile at the bow. Yara beckoned him, saying, "Come here, handsome boy. I will give you my fortune and the necklace from my neck." Zeca, without saying a word, dived into her arms and disappeared into the depths of the enchanted pond.
The lyrics are a combination of folkloric elements and romanticism, exploring the allure and danger of Yara's seduction. Yara is often portrayed in Brazilian folklore as a beautiful, enchanting mermaid-like creature who lures men into the water, never to be seen again. The lyrics reflect this myth and add a touch of romanticism, with Zeca willingly succumbing to Yara's charm.
