Vinheta
Jorge Ben Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Queremos café
Queremos pizza
Queremos café
Queremos pizza
Queremos café
Se for possível
Uma coca-cola bem gelada
E uma água tônica com gás
Olha meu amigo
Escute o que eu vou falar
Se não me der




A gravação não sai
Do meu Brasil.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jorge Ben's song Vinheta express some of the artist's preferences for consumables; coffee and pizza to be specific. The repetition of "queremos café" and "queremos pizza" conveys a sense of desire and longing for these items, perhaps in response to feelings of hunger or simply as a treat. The repetition also adds a rhythmic element to the song and emphasizes the importance of these basic pleasures in life.


The mention of Coca-Cola and tonic water with gas indicates a desire for beverages that are both refreshing and effervescent, again adding a sense of pleasure to the moment. The last few lines of the verse convey a subtle threat to the listener - if the artist is not given what he wants, the recording will not be released from Brazil. This may be interpreted as a statement of artistic control: if his creative needs are not met, he will not release the work to the world. Overall, the song is a celebration of simple pleasures and a reminder of the power artists wield over their creations.
