JTB & DJ Chuck-E Lyrics

These lyrics describe a celebration of nature and the importance of preserving the environment, particularly in relation to the city of Manaus, Brazil.

The first verse talks about framing the horizon and the contrast of natural colors. It highlights how the greenery fills one's eyes and creates a fascinating mixture of emotions. It references the past faith of Prophet Muhammad and the balance and energy that come with having samba in one's soul. The mention of Venus represents delirium, passion, love, youth, well-being, health, hope, and attitude. The lyrics then mention "Muiraquitã," which is a sacred amulet and symbol of luck in indigenous culture in the region.

The second verse describes the emerald green color as sacred and mentions the sacrifices made by the Aztecs. However, in the mind of a poet, the color "Vivare" (meaning "live" or "celebrate" in Italian) is the most certain. The lyrics recognize the beauty and immortality of the lush green magic of the city. They also credit the university Uninorte for its wisdom and the blossoming of ecology.

The third verse reveals that Manaus is a tourist destination and describes it as the "Jungle Palace." It proudly states that the songwriter, referred to as a warrior caboclo, has contributed to building the city. The lyrics emphasize the mission of preservation for the future and express pride in being from this land. The mention of Aparecida, which is a city in Brazil known for its religious devotion, suggests that Manaus is alive and pulsating with green heartbeats.

The final line expresses joy and gratitude, as well as the longevity of the Mocidade Independente de Padre Miguel samba school, which has been celebrating for thirty years. This line serves as a reminder that the celebration of nature and the preservation of the environment should continue for many more years to come.
