Café com pão
Nana Caymmi Lyrics

The lyrics to Nana Caymmi's song "Café com pão" describe the simplicity and harmony of a relationship between two people who share small but meaningful moments together. The first verse talks about the simple pleasure of sharing a meal together - bread and butter with coffee - that brings them closer. These small things that they share may seem trivial to others, but to them, it's what has made their relationship stronger. The second verse emphasizes the equality between them, and how they complement each other in a way that feels natural. The use of the word "coisa" (thing) throughout the song adds to this emphasis on the little things that are important in their relationship. The third verse talks about how their love is like that of animals, something innate and instinctive that doesn't need a name to define it. All of these things come together to form an unbreakable bond between them.

One interesting fact about this song is that it was written by famous Brazilian musician and composer Gilberto Gil. Another is that it was originally recorded by Brazilian singer Maria Bethânia before Nana Caymmi covered it. "Café com pão" was included in Nana Caymmi's album "Desejo" released in 1972. The song has since become a classic of Brazilian popular music and has been covered by many artists. It is considered one of Nana Caymmi's signature songs. The lyrics and melody of "Café com pão" capture the essence of everyday life, making it relatable to many people. The intimacy and simplicity of the lyrics convey a sense of comfort and familiarity, which is why it has become such a beloved song in Brazil.
