Initially their sound was a fusion of psychedelic rock with traditional folk sounds, Brazilian as well as Latin, a style that is most evident in É Ferro na Boneca (1970). Their music began to gravitate more towards MPB, particularly due to João Gilberto's influence, who frequently visited the group. Their 1972 album Acabou Chorare contained the classic Preta Pretinha. The group had a strong hippie image and in same year, they moved to a community in Jacarepaguá. They left Som Livre and joined the Continental label in 1973. The band released records until their break-up in 1979.
The album "Acabou Chorare" was elected in 2007 as the best Brazilian music album of all time.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Não quero mais "preoccupations" comigo
E nem de leve águas passadas
Canto e recanto de lágrimas no meu coração
Eu não quero não
Espero, espero
Espero lhe ver
Lhe encontrar
Tenho 29 beijos
Pra lhe dar

The repetition of "Eu não quero não" emphasizes a firm resolve to release these burdens and focus on a new beginning.
The following lines convey a sense of anticipation and longing as the singer eagerly awaits seeing someone. The repetition of "Espero" (I hope) highlights the yearning for a meeting or reunion with this person. The use of "lhe" instead of "você" adds a poetic and formal tone to the lyrics, enhancing the emotional intensity of the message. The singer's readiness to give 29 kisses suggests a deep well of affection and a desire to express love or closeness upon reuniting.
