As a teenager, he was a member of the band Os Polissonantes, which also featured Brazilian actor Kadu Moliterno on bass guitar. In 1969, Arantes started the band Moto Perpétuo with fellow students from São Paulo University (USP) Architecture course.
Arantes dropped out of university to dedicate himself to his solo career, and in 1976, his song "Meu Mundo e Nada Mais" (My world and nothing more) was picked by Brazil’s main TV station Rede Globo to be featured in the soundtrack of soap opera Anjo Mau. The song was a hit, and Arantes toured the country for the first time.
His first self-titled album was released the same year on Globo's Som Livre label. The song "Cuide-se Bem" (Take good care of yourself) from the same record, was also picked by Globo for another soap opera, Duas Vidas.
Arantes went on to write 23 additional songs for soap operas soundtracks, most of them becoming radio hits. Besides his solo work, he has also written songs for artists such as Gang 90 & Absurdettes, Elis Regina, Marina Lima and Maria Bethânia.
He had several hits during the 80s including: “Brincar de Viver”, "Meu Mundo e Nada Mais”, “Planeta Água" "Cheia de Charme”, "Coisas do Brasil” among many others. Most of his songs are written by him, and some in collaboration with other composers.
His songs have also achieved success in the voice of major Brazilian artists such as: Elis Regina, Caetano Veloso, Roberto Carlos, Cláudia Telles, Gang 90, Biafra, Ana Belém, Quarteto em Cy, Jessé, Cauby Peixoto, Belchior, Ney Matogrosso, Luiz Ayrão, Sandra Sá, MPB-4, Fafá de Belém, A Cor do Som, Vanusa, Zizi Possi, Joanna, Eliete Negreiros, Emílio Santiago, Barão Vermelho, Os Cariocas, 14 Bis, Flávio Venturini, Verônica Sabino, Ná Ozetti, Pena Branca & Xavantinho, Nenhum de Nós, Klébi, Chitãozinho e Xororó, Maria Bethânia, Leila Pinheiro, Sá & Guarabira, and others.
Arantes is stil a prolific artist - his 2017 album Flores & Cores (Flowers & Colors), was elected the 13th best Brazilian album of the year by the Brazilian edition of Rolling Stone.
In 2018 he composed a song for major Brazilian singer Gal Costa titled “Puro sangue” (Pure Blood) for her album “A Pele do Futuro” (“Future Skin”).
He keeps composing for soap operas, writing the pop song “Magia do Amor” for Globo’s soap “Verão 90” (Summer 90); and in December 2018 he released the single “Nossa Imensidão a Dois”.
Amanhã
Guilherme Arantes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Da mais louca alegria
Que se possa imaginar
Amanhã
Redobrada a força
Pra cima, que não cessa
Há de vingar
Acima do ilusório
O astro rei vai brilhar
Amanhã
A luminosidade
Alheia à qualquer vontade
Há de imperar
Há de imperar
Amanhã está toda a esperança
Por menor que pareça
Existe e é pra vicejar
Amanhã
Apesar de hoje
Será a estrada que surge
Pra se trilhar
Amanhã mesmo que uns não queiram
Será de outros que esperam
Ver o dia raiar
Amanhã ódios aplacados
Temores abrandados
Será pleno
Será pleno
In Guilherme Arantes's song "Amanhã," the singer expresses optimism and hopefulness for the future. The lyrics convey a sense of excitement and anticipation for what is to come, with descriptions of a beautiful, joyful day filled with sunlight and positivity. The statement that "tomorrow will be a beautiful day" serves as a recurring theme throughout the song. The use of repetition, particularly the repetition of the word "Amanhã" in the chorus, emphasizes the singer's belief that the future holds great promise.
The lyrics of "Amanhã" also suggest that this optimism is not unfounded, but rather based on a belief in the inherent goodness of humanity. The line "despite today, tomorrow is the road that emerges to be trodden," speaks to the idea that even if things are difficult or uncertain in the present, they will eventually work themselves out over time. The song ends on a note of unity and harmony, with the lines "hatred appeased, fears subdued, will be complete, will be complete." This final message of hopefulness, reinforced by the repetition of the word "pleno," offers a vision of a world in which people can come together and create a better future.

Sim Rita
Nome da a minha amada avó.
Estou numa grupo de Whats zap de pessoas que tiveram covid.
Essa música eu tento passar para todas as pessoas que estão desesperançosas.
Nosso povo está com a auto estima lá embaixo por uma cultura de sofrencia de amor banal e ostentação de coisas futeis.
Quando o que precisamos é de letras que elevem nossa auto estima e nos façam pensar.
Aí driblaremos as derrotas que a vida apresenta.
Guilherme Arantes é gênio.
A melodia é atemporal.
Se eu for falar da melodia com seus tempos quebrados e rufar da bateria e a flauta com a voz do Guilherme.
Eu vou chorar por uma semana.
Um abraço!!
