Tendo gravado mais de quatro mil canções em sua carreira, Marlene foi um dos maiores mitos do rádio brasileiro em sua época de ouro. Sua popularidade nacional também resultou em convites para o cinema (onze filmes depois de Corações sem Piloto, de 1944) e para o teatro (cinco peças após Depois do Casamento, em 1952), tendo também trabalhado em cinco revistas depois de Deixa Que Eu Chuto (1950). Suas atividades internacionais incluíam turnês pelo Uruguai, Argentina, Estados Unidos (onde se apresentou no Waldorf-Astoria Hotel e em Chicago) e França (apresentando-se por quatro meses e meio no Teatro Olympia em Paris, a convite de Édith Piaf, que a vira no Copacabana Palace, no Rio). Também compositora, teve seu samba-canção A grande verdade (parceria com Luís Bittencourt) gravado por Dalva de Oliveira, em 1951.
Aurora
Marlene Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
più attraenti delle metafore?
(La mediocrità ti consolida e gli ipocriti sostengono l'opera)
E' un abbaglio stomachevole
che non ci fa sorridere
No, non ci fa sorridere.
più veraci delle retoriche?
(Freschi come aurora di marmo risplenderemo sulle tue reliquie)
E' un orgoglio miserevole ignorare l'innegabile
e non ci fa sorridere
No non ci fa sorridere.
Un giorno, presto, capirai
piegato all'evidenza di ogni verità
e ci farai sorridere e ti farai deridere
The lyrics to Marlene's song "Aurora" can be interpreted as a critique of mediocrity, hypocrisy, and the tendency to ignore the undeniable truth. The first verse highlights the irony of how people often find comfort in mediocrity, while hypocrites support this behavior. It suggests that people fail to realize their own attractiveness and potential, comparing themselves to mere metaphors. The line "La mediocrità ti consolida e gli ipocriti sostengono l'opera" implies that mediocrity is validated and perpetuated by those who are insincere or hypocritical.
The second verse emphasizes the authenticity of the singer and her peers, stating that they are more genuine than any rhetorical claims. The line "Freschi come aurora di marmo risplenderemo sulle tue reliquie" suggests that they will shine brightly like a marble dawn on the relics or remnants of those who ignore their relevance. The lyrics critique a miserable sense of pride that allows one to ignore the undeniable truth, portraying this as a behavior that fails to bring any joy or satisfaction.
The third verse suggests that one day, the person being addressed in the song will come to understand the obviousness of every truth. It implies that they will eventually realize the inevitability of the singer's authenticity and the emptiness of their own pride. The line "e ci farai sorridere e ti farai deridere" indicates that in this realization, the person will bring amusement to the singer and themselves, as they will mock their own previous ignorance and arrogance.
Overall, the lyrics of "Aurora" serve as a call to recognize and embrace one's true potential and authenticity. It criticizes the tendencies towards mediocrity, hypocrisy, and denial of truth, emphasizing the eventual self-realization that will bring joy and self-derision.
