E.c.t
Nando Reis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que por descuido abriu uma carta que voltou
Tomou um susto que lhe abriu a boca
Esse recado vem pra mim não pro senhor.
Recebo crack, colante, dinheiro parco embrulhado
Em papel carbono e barbante, até cabelo cortado
Retrato de 3 x 4 pra batizado distante
Levo o mundo e não vou lá
Mas esse cara tem a língua solta
A minha carta ele musicou
Tava em casa vitamina pronta
Ouvi no rádio a minha carta sim senhor
Dizendo "eu caso contente, papel passado, presente
Desembrulhado, vestido, eu volto logo me espera
Não brigue nunca comigo, eu quero ver nossos filhos"
O professor me ensinou fazer uma carta de amor
Leve o mundo que eu vou já
In Nando Reis's song E.c.t, the singer tells the story of a person who opens a letter that wasn't meant for them. The letter contains drugs, money, and even a lock of hair, but the most surprising thing is that it's actually a love letter meant for the singer, not the person who intercepted it. The singer reflects on how the person who intercepted the letter turned it into a song, which they heard on the radio while at home, feeling fulfilled and ready to face the world. The lyrics of the letter express the author's desire to get married, have children, and live a happy life with the singer.
The song speaks to the idea that love can be found in unexpected places and circumstances. Despite the drugs and illegal activities mentioned in the letter, the singer focuses on the love expressed within it. The song also touches on themes of misunderstanding and miscommunication, as the letter was not supposed to be intercepted, and the original recipient didn't know what it truly contained.
Overall, "E.c.t" is a poignant and evocative song that delves into the complexities of love and communication.
