Formed by Nasi (vocal), Edgard Scandurra (guitar), Ricardo Gaspa (bass) and André Jung (drums). The band's name was inspired by the Irish Republican Army, and it is also the portuguese word for "anger".

Ira! was formed in 1981, by Nasi, Scandurra, Fábio Scattone (drums) and Adilson Fajardo (bass). But its final formation was only reached in 1985, when Ricardo Gaspa and André Jung (former member of fellow brazilian band Titãs) joined the band.

Their songs were strongly influenced by the Mod sound of The Who, the hard rock of Led Zeppelin and the punk rock of The Clash.

After making it big in the 80s, Ira! faded away in the 90s, regained some popularity in the 00s and eventually split in 2007, making it's comeback only in 2014, with a new formation that stays to this day: Nasi, Edgard Scandurra, Evaristo Pádua, and Johnny Boy

Ira! Lyrics

Dentro de mim uma dúvida
O medo da vida que possa levar
Um tempo eu peço pra pensar
Preciso chegar ao coração

Da vida que eu possa levar
Um tempo eu peço pra pensar
Ao coração da nação

Quero desfrutar por ser jovem
Das coisas que me são proibidas
Preciso de um tempo pra pensar
Preciso chegar ao coração

Da vida que eu possa levar
Um tempo eu peço pra pensar
Quero desfrutar por ser jovem
Coração

Quero desfrutar por ser jovem
Das coisas que me são proibidas
Preciso de um tempo pra pensar
Preciso chegar ao coração

Da vida que eu possa levar
Um tempo eu peço pra pensar
Quero desfrutar por ser jovem

Overall Meaning

In Ira!'s song "Coração" (Heart), the singer is experiencing a sense of emotional distance from their loved one, describing their physical closeness as separately distant. The lines "Overdose...Comatosed..." suggest an increasing numbness and detachment in their relationship. The singer feels trapped ("Surrogate...there's no escape. I found a gate, but it's locked so I'm/Here to stay...") and unable to break free from this state of emotional limbo. Despite this, the singer expresses gratitude for the blessings in their life ("Yet every wish I have is granted"). They feel a sense of ownership and control over their life, as though "I could buy the planet if I wanted" and "make it mine" - however, the sense of loneliness lingers, as they imagine "somewhere we could both grow old together" with their unnamed partner.

The lyrics in "Coração" convey a bittersweet feeling of longing and hope, juxtaposed against a sense of detachment and solitude. The singer's feelings of power and control in their life are tempered by the realization that they cannot buy love and connection. The song speaks to the universal human experience of wanting to possess and control our lives, while also yearning for the deeply personal and intimate experience of being loved and understood.

Line by Line Meaning

Overdose...Comatosed...I feel you close, but you're so very far away.
I am overwhelmed and unconscious, yet I can sense your presence, but you seem distant.

Surrogate...there's no escape. I found a gate, but it's locked so I'm Here to stay...
I am a substitute, and I cannot escape. I discovered a way out, but it's inaccessible, so here is where I'll remain.

Yet every wish I have is granted. Every hand is mine to hold and all The trees that I have planted touch the sky, turn gold.
All my desires come true, and I have countless people to accompany me. The trees I've planted reach the heavens and turn golden.

I could buy the planet if I wanted. I'd make it mine...Yes, I'd unfold A tapestry that I'd recline in, somewhere we could both grow old together. Our dream.
I have the means to buy the entire world, and I could make it mine. I would create a beautiful and tranquil place for us to spend the rest of our lives together, fulfilling our dream.

Dying eyes...You sympathize. I clutch my prize but it so slowly fades Away...
My vision is fading as I near death. You feel my pain and sorrow. I hold onto my treasure, but it is slipping away slowly.
