K
Maico Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Eu canto moda de viola, bem feliz e bem contente
Pra trazer muita alegria, para toda a nossa gente
O pagode é coisa boa, que está em nossa memória
Fala de dupla caipira, que tem seu nome na história

Tem pagode variado, com tudo quanto que é rima
Que fala que uns tão por baixo, e que os outros tão por cima
O pagode é coisa boa, eu canto por vocação
Pra tocar moda de viola, tem que ser violeiro bão

Pra compor esse pagode, eu tive inspiração
Nas modas de antigamente, só de viola e de violão
O pagode é coisa boa, não dá pra cantar sozinho
Diziam os mestres da viola, Tião Carreiro e Pardinho

Começamos lá de baixo, com muita dedicação
Fazendo o que a gente gosta, com prazer e devoção




O pagode é coisa boa, no tempo ele fez escola
Juntando o Maicon Augusto, com o Kinho da Viola

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Maico's song "K" are a celebration of two distinct but related musical genres in Brazil: pagode and moda de viola. Pagode is a popular style of music that originated in Rio de Janeiro and has its roots in samba. Moda de viola, on the other hand, is a traditional style of Brazilian country music that is characterized by the use of the viola caipira - a small, ten-string guitar - and lyrics that often celebrate rural life and values.


Maico sings that he is happy and content singing moda de viola, and that his goal is to bring joy to the people who listen to his music. He also mentions that pagode is a good thing that is deeply ingrained in the memory of the Brazilian people, and that it often tells stories about famous duo of caipira music that have made their mark in history.


He goes on to say that there are many different types of pagode, each with its own style and subject matter. Some songs talk about people who are on top of the world, while others talk about those who are struggling. Maico says that he sings pagode because he feels called to do so, but that to be a good performer of moda de viola, one must be a skilled violeiro (player of the viola caipira).


Maico concludes by saying that he was inspired to write this pagode by the traditional songs of the past, which were often played only on the viola and violão. He emphasizes that pagode is a communal activity that cannot be done alone, and refers to two masters of the viola, Tião Carreiro and Pardinho, who advocated for the importance of collaboration in making great music.
