Itamar Assumpção was one of the biggest names and contributors in the Vanguarda Paulista ("São Paulo Vanguard/Avant-garde" in English), an alternative scene that dominated São Paulo in the very late 70s and the first half of the 80s. This movement united artists who operated involuntarily outside of the established commercial music industry during an era that pre-dated the Internet, the politics of downloading and the contemporary indie music scene. The "Vanguarda" was responsible for launching many new talents and establishing a foundation for autonomous, self-sufficient music production (and subsequent release) by artists such as Arrigo Barnabé and Grupo Rumo.
Todo Esse Tempo I
Itamar Assumpção Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Não gasto pensando se vem ou não vem do berço
Não gasto pensando nos nossos teretetes
Nos sangramentos e nos tropeços do começo
Todo esse tempo que eu passo sem te ver
Não gasto pensando se mereço ou não mereço
Não gasto, pensando naquilo que vai doer
Todo esse tempo que eu passo sem te ver
Gasto pensando em vira-la pro avesso
Em qualquer canto cair babando em você
Beijá-la tanto até dar cãibra no beiço
Todo esse tempo que eu passo sem te ver
Não gasto pensando se tem preço ou não tem preço
Todo esse tempo que eu passo sem te ver
Eu gasto pensando que de ti me basta um terço
Todo esse tempo que eu passo sem te ver
Não gasto pensando se vem ou não vem do berço
Não gasto pensando nos nossos teretetes
Nos sangramentos e nos tropeços do começo
Todo esse tempo que eu passo sem te ver
Gasto pensando em vira-la do avesso
Em qualquer canto cair babando em você
Beijá-la tanto até dar cãibra no beiço
In the song "Todo Esse Tempo I" by Itamar Assumpção, the lyrics reflect on the time spent apart from someone and the thoughts and emotions that arise during that period. The repeated phrase "Todo esse tempo que eu passo sem te ver" (All this time I spend without seeing you) symbolizes the distance and longing for the person.
The first paragraph discusses the singer's state of mind during this time. They express that they don't dwell on whether the person will come back or not. They don't waste their thoughts on the arguments and conflicts they had in the beginning of their relationship. Instead, they choose to focus on other things, implying a sense of detachment or acceptance.
The second paragraph builds on the previous one. The singer continues to describe their mindset during the time apart. They don't spend time thinking about whether they deserve the person's presence or not. They also don't focus on the potential pain that may come from being reunited. Instead, they choose to pretend they're unaffected, almost putting on a facade of indifference or numbness.
In the third paragraph, the singer's thoughts start to shift. They admit that during this time, they do spend their thoughts on turning the person's world upside down ("Em qualquer canto cair babando em você") and kissing them so much that they get a cramp in their lip ("Beijá-la tanto até dar câimbra no beiço"). These vivid and intense images depict a longing for physical and emotional connection, indicating that the singer truly yearns for the person's presence.
The fourth and final paragraph brings together some of the previous themes. The singer reiterates that they don't spend time wondering about the value or cost of being without the person. Instead, they focus on the idea that having even a third of the person ("de ti me basta um terço") would be enough for them. This expresses their desire to have any fragment of the person in their life, emphasizing the importance they place on their presence.
Overall, the lyrics of "Todo Esse Tempo I" speak to the complex emotions one experiences when separated from someone they deeply care about. From detachment to longing and acceptance to desire, the song captures the range of emotions one can undergo while spending time apart from a loved one.
