Clube da Esquina №2
Lô Borges Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Também se chamava estrada
Viagem de ventania
Nem lembra se olhou pra trás
Ao primeiro passo asso asso
Porque se chamavam homens
Também se chamavam sonhos
Em meio a tantos gases lacrimogênios
Ficam calmos calmos calmos
E lá se vai
Mais um dia ah ah
E basta contar compasso
E basta contar consigo
Que a chama não tem pavio
De tudo se faz canção
E o coração na curva de um rio rio rio rio
E lá se vai
Mais um dia ah ah
E lá se vai
Mais um dia ah ah
E o rio de asfalto e gente
Entorna pelas ladeiras
Entope o meio fio
Esquina mais de um milhão
Quero ver então a gente gente gente
E lá se vai, vai, vai
The song "Clube da Esquina nº 2" by Lo Borges has a poetic and philosophical approach to life and its transience. The lyrics speak of the passing of time, the impermanence of life, and the power of dreams and music to transcend it all. The singer muses about how everything, like roads, men, and dreams, has its time, but dreams have the power to live beyond that time. The journey of life is fleeting, but the memories and emotions attached to it can be immortalized in music.
The opening lines "Porque se chamava moço/Também se chamava estrada" (Because he was called boy/Also called road) set the tone for the song, as the singer reflects on how everything has a name and how names can be both revealing and limiting. He continues to ponder on the name "homens" (men), as they are also called "sonhos" (dreams) and how dreams have no expiration date.
The chorus "E lá se vai/ Mais um dia ah ah" (And there goes one more day) reinforces the idea of the passing of time and how it seems like life is slipping through the singer's fingers. The song ends by contrasting the mundane reality of the city with the endless possibilities of music and dreams, as the singer imagines the esquina (street corner) with over a million people, longing for the power of music to bring them together.

Porque se chamava moço
Because he was called young
Também se chamava estrada
Also called road
Viagem de ventania
Wind-blown journey
Nem lembra se olhou pra trás
Doesn't even remember looking back
Ao primeiro passo asso asso
The first step he took, quickly, quickly
Porque se chamavam homens
Because they were called men
Também se chamavam sonhos
Also called dreams
E sonhos não envelhecem
And dreams don't age
Em meio a tantos gases lacrimogênios
Amidst so many tear gas
Ficam calmos calmos calmos
They remain calm calm calm
E lá se vai
And another day goes by
Mais um dia ah ah
Another day, ah ah
E basta contar compasso
All it takes is to count time
E basta contar consigo
And count within yourself
Que a chama não tem pavio
That the flame has no wick
De tudo se faz canção
Everything can be made into a song
E o coração na curva de um rio rio rio rio
And the heart at the bend of a river, river, river, river
E o rio de asfalto e gente
And the river of asphalt and people
Entorna pelas ladeiras
Spills down the hills
Entope o meio fio
Clogs the sidewalk
Esquina mais de um milhão
Corner of over a million
Quero ver então a gente gente gente
I want to see then, the people, people, people
E lá se vai, vai, vai
And it goes, goes, goes
