O Ronco Da Cuíca
João Bosco Lyrics

João Bosco's song "O Ronco Da Cuíca" tells the story of a rejected cuíca, an instrument used in samba music, that rumbles with anger and hunger. The lyrics suggest that someone has ordered for the instrument to stop playing, but the cuíca stubbornly continues to rumble. The song explores the difference between anger and hunger, stating that anger can be stopped or interrupted, but hunger cannot. The lyrics suggest that both anger and hunger are characteristics of humans, and that hunger requires anger to be interrupted.

The lyrics in this song are both poetic and insightful, using the metaphor of a cuíca to explore human emotions. The repeated phrase "é coisa dos home" (it's a human thing) suggests that these emotions are universal and experienced by everyone, regardless of outward differences. The song also highlights the persistence and resilience of the cuíca, suggesting that despite rejection or attempts to silence it, the instrument will continue to play.
