The youngest of the five children of José Fares, Lebanese immigrant to Brazil, and Dona Francisca, Fagner was born in Fortaleza, the capital of the state of Ceará, although his birth was recorded in Orós.
At the age of five years he won a youth competition at a local radio station. As a teen, he formed vocal and instrumental groups and began to compose his own music. In 1968 he won the Festival de Música Popular do Ceará (Popular Music Festival of Ceará) with his song "Nada Sou" (I am Nothing).
In 1971 he moved to the capital Brasília, taking first place in the Festival de Música Popular do Centro de Estudos Universitários de Brasília (Popular Music Festival of the University Studies Center of Brasília) with his piece "Mucuripe" (with collaborator Belchior), which was later recorded by artist Elis Regina, and became Fagner's first notable success as a composer. He won prizes in other categories with additional pieces, as well.
He has had a distinguished career as a performer, singer, songwriter and composer for over 3 decades, and is also known for his collaborations with other MPB artists such as Caetano Veloso, Roberta Miranda, Chico Buarque and others.

Fagner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nos vamos poniendo viejos
Yo el amor
No lo reflejo como ayer
En cada conversación
Cada beso cada abrazo
Se impone siempre un pedazo
Vamos viviendo
Viendo las horas
Que van pasando
Las viejas discusiones
Se van perdiendo
Entre las razones
Porque años atrás
Tomar tú mano
Robarte un beso
Sin forzar el momento
Hacía parte de una verdad
Porque el tiempo pasa
Nos vamos poniendo viejos
Yo el amor
No lo reflejo como ayer
En cada conversación
Cada beso cada abrazo
Se impone siempre un pedazo
De razón
A todo dices que sí
A nada digo que no
Para poder construir
Esta tremenda armonía
Que pone viejo los corazones
Porque el tiempo pasa
Nos vamos poniendo viejos
Yo el amor
No lo reflejo como ayer
En cada conversación
Cada beso cada abrazo
Se impone siempre un pedazo
De temor
The lyrics of Fagner's song "Años" are a reflection on the passage of time and how it affects love and relationships. The first lines "El tiempo pasa / Nos vamos poniendo viejos" meaning "Time passes / We are getting old" sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer reflects on how his love has changed and is not the same as it was before. He talks about how there is always a bit of reason in every conversation, kiss or hug, which wasn't the case before. He remembers moments from the past when taking the hand of his partner or stealing a kiss was natural and part of their reality. However, now things have changed, and their love feels different.
The second part of the song talks about how they are trying to keep the harmony alive in their relationship to avoid conflicts. The singer says that he agrees to everything, and his partner disagrees to nothing so that they can maintain this "tremenda armonía." This harmony, however, comes at the cost of growing old, as the lyrics state "Que pone viejo los corazones" meaning "That makes the hearts grow old."
The overall message of the song is about how time changes everything, even love. Love is not the same as it was before, and it has become more complicated. The chorus repeats the idea that they are getting old, and love is not the same as before, referring to the disappointment that comes with growing old.
