Entrada Do Boi Misterioso
Quinteto Violado Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Aqui estou em vossa porta
Como um feixinho de lenha
Ai, como um feixinho de lenha

Esperando pela resposta
Que de vossa boca venha
Ai, que de vossa boca venha
Senhora dona da casa
Olho de pedra riá
Mas olho de pedra riá

(Na 1. vez)
Naquela pedra mais fina
Onde as ondas combate o mar
Mas onde as ondas combate o mar

(Na 2. vez)
Naquela pedra mais fina
Onde o mar combate as ondas
Aonde as ondas combate o mar

Senhora dona da casa
Olho de pedra redonda
Mas olho de pedra redonda

Naquela pedra redonda
Onde o mar combate as ondas
Mas onde o mar combate as ondas





(Repete)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Quinteto Violado's "Entrada Do Boi Misterioso" describe the arrival of someone, possibly a suitor or a traveler, at the door of a house. The singer describes themselves as a "feixinho de lenha" or a small bundle of wood, waiting for a response from the owner of the house. The owner is described as having eyes made of stone or "olho de pedra." The song then directs the listener's attention to a specific stone, where the waves of the sea crash against it. This imagery suggests that the arrival of this person is a moment of tension or conflict, much like the waves crashing against the stone.


The repetition of certain phrases in the song creates a sense of circularity or repetition. The singer repeats their description of themselves as a small bundle of wood, and also repeats their description of the owner's stone eyes. This repetition might suggest that the arrival of this person is not a unique event, but rather a familiar experience. The use of imagery related to the sea and the land also suggests a connection to nature and the environment.
