A core member of the Jovem Guarda ("Young Guard") scene of 1960's Brazilian pop-rock, Erasmo often appeared on television, in magazines and feature films with fellow teen idols Roberto Carlos and Wanderléa.
In contrast to his simpler pop-rock early sound, Erasmo went on to produce several of the more moody and introspective MPB records of the 1970's, including "Sonhos e Memórias" and "Carlos, Erasmo".
Carlos died on 22 November 2022, at the age of 81.
Agora Ninguém Chora Mais
Erasmo Carlos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mas agora ninguém chora mais
Chora mais chora mais
Chorava todo mundo
Mas agora ninguém chora mais
Chorava mãe ôôôôôô
Chorava pai ôôôôôô
Mas era uma beleza
Em vez de tristeza
Mas era uma beleza
Em vez de tristeza
Chorava mãe ôôôôôô
Também chorava pai
Na hora da partida
Mas era uma beleza
Em vez de tristeza
Mas era uma beleza
Em vez de tristeza
Chorava todo mundo
Mas agora ninguém chora mais
Chora mais chora mais
Chorava todo mundo
Mas agora ninguém chora mais
The lyrics of Erasmo Carlos's song Agora Ninguém Chora Mais describe a changing emotional atmosphere around departure. The first verse says that "everyone used to cry" but now "nobody cries anymore." The repetition of the phrase "chora mais" can be interpreted as a lament for this change, or a reflection of the fact that crying used to be more common. The second verse adds detail, with mentions of both mothers and fathers crying during a departure. Despite that sadness, there is a sense that the experience was "uma beleza" (a beauty) rather than just sadness, perhaps because of the depth of emotion that was expressed.
Overall, the lyrics hint at the way that people adjust and move on after facing a difficult event or loss. Even though there is sadness and crying, the desire to move forward and leave the pain behind comes through in the repetition of the line "agora ninguém chora mais." This message could be seen as both uplifting and bittersweet, as it acknowledges the reality of loss but also the possibility of healing and growth.
