Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ê que bela quitanda, quitandinha de Erê
Seu balancê tem quintadinha de Erê

É isso, é isso, é isso, vamo' assim
Que beleza, que beleza, que beleza Grande Rio

Ô, Zeca, tu 'tá morando ondé?
Saí com meu povo a te procurar
Botei minha cerva na encruzilhada
Pra moça da saia rodada e pro homê da capa

Cadê você?
É alvorada do seu padroeiro
Pra agradecer
Ao mensageiro de São Jorge Guerreiro
Tem patuá pra proteger
E tem mandinga no Velho Engenho
Quem tem um santo poderoso que é Ogum?
Eu tenho

Nas bandas do Irajá, gelada no botequim
Assim vou vadiar até no gurufim
Se tem patota, Ibeji e ajeum
Salve Cosme e Damião, Doum!

Ê que bela quitanda, quitandinha de Erê!
Seu balancê
Tem quitandinha de Erê!
Ê que bela quitanda, quitandinha de Erê!
Seu balancê
Tem quitandinha de Erê!

Passei procurando na feira
Em Del Castilho e na Tamarineira
E na gafieira, boêmios, malandros
Pelos sete lados eu vou te cercando

Jessé! Jessé! (Jessé! Jessé!)
Fiz um pagode pra Madrinha, salve ela!
Saudei a voz da Velha Guarda da Portela
E lá na roça vi florir um Carnaval (Zeca)

Zeca!
Levante o copo para o povo brasileiro
Te encontrei nesse terreiro
Xerém é o seu quintal!

Deixa a vida me levar
Onde o samba tem valor
Meu candiá
Encandeou!
Sou Grande Rio carregado de axé
Minha gira girou na fé!

Deixa a vida me levar
Onde o samba tem valor
Meu candiá
Encandeou!
Sou Grande Rio carregado de axé
Minha gira girou na fé, oh Zeca

Ô, Zeca, tu 'tá morando ondé? 'Tá morando ondé?
Saí com meu povo a te procurar
Botei minha cerva na encruzilhada
Pra moça da saia rodada e pro homê da capa

Cadê você?
É alvorada do seu padroeiro
Pra agradecer
Ao mensageiro de São Jorge Guerreiro
Tem patuá pra proteger (tem patuá pra proteger)
E tem mandinga no Velho Engenho
Quem tem um santo poderoso que é Ogum?
Eu tenho

Nas bandas do Irajá, gelada no botequim
Assim vou vadiar até no gurufim
Se tem patota, Ibeji e ajeum
Salve Cosme e Damião, Doum!

Ê que bela quitanda, quitandinha de Erê!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "E's E" by Eels are quite introspective and reflective. The singer talks about having two eyes but not being able to see, having a heart but not feeling anything, and a mouth but not being able to say what he wants to say. These lines suggest a feeling of numbness or detachment, possibly due to dark life experiences or depression. It's like he's lost all sense of the world around him and doesn't know how to express himself or connect with others.


Despite this, the singer encourages himself not to give up because he's almost there. There's a glimmer of hope that things may get better, that life has moments of sweetness even amidst the ugly mess and distress of angry souls. He acknowledges that he's often alone, but seems to have made peace with it, saying "That's alright." Even if he had all the money in the world, it wouldn't matter because his soul is always climbing a ladder, always in search of something more than material possessions.


This song is a poignant reminder that life can be tough and often makes us feel disconnected from ourselves and others. However, there's always the possibility of finding beauty and meaning even in the darkest of times. The lyrics of "E's E" show that the journey towards self-acceptance and healing requires persistence and a willingness to keep going, even if it feels like we're not getting anywhere.
