1) Holger is an indie rock band from São Paulo, Brazil. The band started out as a musical project called That’s All Folks in which friends from different bands like Efeito Colateral and Cagedream got together for jam sessions melding folk, country, indiepop and neofolk music. After recording over 30 songs and releasing 5 EPs online the guys decided to turn the project into a permanent band, Holger, re-working several songs by That’s All Folks and recording new material with influences from bands like I’m from Barcelona, Pavement, New Order, Flaming Lips and Broken Social Scene. In 2008, after many months of rehearsal, Holger emerged from the studio to promote their songs and play a series of gigs. In 2009 they played SXSW. The band has also opened for No Age and Matt & Kim in São Paulo. All their songs are in English.

Preguiça
Holger Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sai da jangada, porque não podia perder
Sai na madrugada, que saudade de você

Naquele morro corre água colorida
De pirraça, de garrafa, canudinho, gelo pode ser
E volto, volto logo to faminto dessa manhã
Tô com nóia de você

Eu vou volta, vou voltar

Overall Meaning

The song "Preguiça" by Holger, captures the feeling of longing and yearning for someone who is not there. The lyrics describe leaving a boat, possibly a jangada, because the person couldn't bear to lose them. The singer then goes out at dawn, feeling a deep sense of missing the person they are singing about. The second verse evokes the sights and sounds of a colorful hillside, where water flows in a playful manner. The singer expresses their hunger for the person they are missing and the desire to return to them soon.

The song is a subtle but powerful expression of longing and missing someone. The lyrics are sparse, but they convey a great deal of emotion. The repetition of the phrase "Eu vou volta, vou voltar" at the end of the song reinforces the sense of longing, as if the singer is willing themselves to return to the person they miss.

Line by Line Meaning

Sai da jangada, porque não podia perder
I left the raft because I couldn't afford to lose you

Sai na madrugada, que saudade de você
I left at dawn, missing you terribly

Naquele morro corre água colorida
On that hill runs colored water

De pirraça, de garrafa, canudinho, gelo pode ser
It could be from mischief, from a bottle, a straw or ice

E volto, volto logo to faminto dessa manhã
And I return, return soon, hungry for this morning

Tô com nóia de você
I'm crazy about you

Eu vou volta, vou voltar
I will return, I will come back
