E o Bambu
Os Seminovos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A sua sogra pergunta: e o casamento?
O empresário pergunta: e o crescimento?
O policial pergunta: e o documento?
O cientista pergunta: e o fundamento?
O religioso pergunta: e o sentimento?
O ansioso pergunta: e o momento?
Ninguém tem a resposta
Pra tanta dúvida junta
Por isso é que a gente gosta
Quando o Silvio pergunta:
E o bambu?
O deputado pergunta: e o momento?
A sua sogra pergunta: e o sentimento?
O empresário pergunta: e o documento?
O policial pergunta: e o meu aumento?
O cientista pergunta: e o pensamento?
O religioso pergunta: e o crescimento?
O ansioso pergunta: e o casamento?
O filosofo pergunta: e o fundamento?
Esse é um mundo complexo
É tanta dúvida junta!
Ao menos uma tem nexo:
É quando o Silvio pergunta:
E o bambu?
E o terrorismo?
E o eixo do mal?
E o imperialismo?
E o aquecimento global?
E o futuro?
E o reator de plutônio?
E aquele furo
Na camada de ozônio?
E o meu emprego?
E o meu sossego?
Mundo estranho esse nosso
Ninguém tem muita clareza
Mas uma dúvida eu posso:
Responder com certeza:
E o bambu?
The lyrics of Os Seminovos's song "E o Bambu" playfully highlight the never-ending uncertainties and questions that we face in various aspects of life. Each verse presents a different character, such as a politician, mother-in-law, businessman, police officer, scientist, religious person, anxious individual, and philosopher, all asking their own pressing questions. Despite their different backgrounds and perspectives, they all share a common thread of uncertainty.
The repeated refrain, "E o bambu?" (And the bamboo?), serves as a metaphorical representation of an unresolved issue or unanswered question. The song suggests that amidst the complexity and confusion of the world, the question about the bamboo is the one that seems to matter the most. The use of bamboo as a symbol is open to interpretation, but it can be seen as a representation of simplicity, nature, or even a reminder to focus on the essential things in life amidst the chaos.
The lyrics suggest that no one has the answer to all these combined doubts and uncertainties. The song humorously reflects the human tendency to ponder numerous questions without finding clear answers. It underscores the absurdity of the world we live in, where important matters often get overshadowed by trivial or perplexing concerns.
Overall, "E o Bambu" is a lighthearted critique of the confusion and complexity of life, reminding us to find humor and simplicity in the midst of uncertainty.
