Benga velha companheira
Graforréia Xilarmônica Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Benga, curió no mato
Ela entrou dentro do mato, perna-só para se esconder
Pois já sabia que algum dia tudo aquilo ia lhe acontecer
Uma pessoa muito chata certamente ia lhe aparecer
Propondo a volta ao mundo antigo que ela só queria esquecer
Que até aqui no mato
Eu não posso ficar quieto
Sem ouvir um desacato
As pessoas sempre metem o bedelho para incomodar
Não é que eu queira lhe ficar rogando praga
Mas tomara que aconteça
Algum dia justo mesmo com você
Seu descanso tão sonhado vá por água abaixo
The song "Benga velha companheira" by Graforréia Xilarmônica tells the story of a person seeking solace in nature to escape from a bothersome individual who wants to drag them back into their past. The lyrics depict a person who enters the woods alone, seeking refuge and hiding from this chatty and annoying person. The singer knows that eventually they will have to confront this individual and face the memories of their past, which they wanted to forget.
The song muses on whether the world is so small that even in the seclusion of the woods, one cannot find tranquility. It expresses frustration at the constant interference and disrespect from people who always seem to meddle and disturb others. The lyrics suggest that the singer just wants to peacefully exist without being bothered or subjected to confrontation and conflict.
In the final verse, the song takes a slightly vindictive turn as the singer expresses a slight desire for karma to catch up to this bothersome person. They hope that someday this person will experience the same disruption and have their much-desired rest and peace shattered just like they had to endure, suggesting a potential sense of satisfaction at the thought of their tormentor facing similar struggles.
Overall, the lyrics of "Benga velha companheira" convey the desire for solitude, freedom from interference, and the frustration caused by individuals who intrude upon one's peace of mind. The song also implies that, to a certain extent, we all wish for justice to be served when someone disrupts the tranquility we seek.

Benga velha companheira
Old companion trouble
Benga, curió no mato
Trouble, bird in the woods
Ela entrou dentro do mato, perna-só para se esconder
She entered the woods alone, with only one leg, to hide
Pois já sabia que algum dia tudo aquilo ia lhe acontecer
Because she already knew that one day all of that would happen to her
Uma pessoa muito chata certamente ia lhe aparecer
A very annoying person would certainly appear to her
Propondo a volta ao mundo antigo que ela só queria esquecer
Proposing a return to the old world that she just wanted to forget
Será que o mundo é tão pequeno
Is the world so small
Que até aqui no mato
That even here in the woods
Eu não posso ficar quieto
I can't remain silent
Sem ouvir um desacato
Without hearing an insult
As pessoas sempre metem o bedelho para incomodar
People always stick their noses in to bother
Não é que eu queira lhe ficar rogando praga
Not that I want to curse you
Mas tomara que aconteça
But I hope it happens
Algum dia justo mesmo com você
One day, fair and square, even with you
Seu descanso tão sonhado vá por água abaixo
May your long-awaited rest be washed away
