Sangue e Pudins
Fagner & Luiz Melodia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nem quero saber pra onde vou, é muito cedo
Talvez se eu arrancasse de minha língua o sinal
Talvez se eu inventasse o juízo final.
Talvez se eu prometesse sangue e pudins
Ou se eu costurasse a roupa dos querubins...
é o que apronta este lado do teu rosto
E o que faz o sossego morar no que está posto.
Não guardo segredo mas sou bem secreto
é que eu mesmo não acho a chave de mim
The lyrics of Fagner & Luiz Melodia's song "Sangue e pudins" convey a sense of uncertainty and fear about one's identity and destiny. The first two lines express a desire to remain ignorant of both, perhaps out of a fear of the unknown or a sense of powerlessness. The idea of removing the mark from one's tongue or coming up with a final judgment implies a desire to control or manipulate one's fate.
The chorus introduces a playful tone through the suggestion of offering "blood and puddings" or sewing the clothes of the cherubs, both seemingly absurd proposals that reflect the singer's sense of powerlessness. The final verse shifts in tone and focus, expressing a desire to understand the contradictory aspects of the other person's face and the source of their inner peace.
The lyrics of "Sangue e pudins" suggest a tension between the desire for control and the recognition of one's limitations. The playful and absurd imagery of the chorus contrasts with the serious tone of the final verse, underscoring the complexity of human emotions and desires.

But what I want to know
é o que apronta este lado do teu rosto
is what's happening on this side of your face
E o que faz o sossego morar no que está posto.
And what makes tranquility reside in what's settled.
Não guardo segredo mas sou bem secreto
I don't keep secrets, but I am very private
é que eu mesmo não acho a chave de mim
it's just that I can't find the key to myself
