The ensemble formed in 1983, but did not release their first album until 1991, after a demo tape got them signed to RGE. The album spawned numerous hits in Brazil, and over the next decade the group went on to sell millions of albums. They have made many appearances on Brazilian television. Among their hits are "Caroline", "Quero Ver Você Chorar," "Somente Você," "Chega", "Cigana," "Quando Te Encontrei," "Cheia de Manias," "Doce Paixão," and "Me Leva Junto com Você".
The group's music is perhaps best known to the English-speaking world as a result of a slipup at a Brazilian CD pressing plant in 1999. Several hundred copies of AOL CD-ROMs were accidentally pressed with a Raça Negra album instead of the company software.
It is noticeable that the ensemble does not present a cavaquinho or banjo, traditional instruments in the genre of pagode.
Lua Cheia
Raça Negra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Aquela Lua
Lembro de Você
Lua Cheia
Lua Cheia
Lua Cheia
De repente eu te vejo
Mas é só um sonho
Lua cheia
Como louco eu peço
Pra lua te avisar
Que eu ainda te amo
Espero você voltar
Com a lua cheia
Lua cheia
Será que você lembra como eu?
Será que ainda você me ama?
Será que você vê a mesma lua
E que meu coração te chama?
The lyrics of Raça Negra's song "Lua Cheia" reveal the narrative of someone who is deeply in love with another person and cannot stop thinking about them even when they look up at the moon at night. The person is reminiscing about the times they spent with their loved one and how everything about the moon reminds them of their partner. The phrase "Lua Cheia" is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the important role the moon plays in their story. As the song continues, the person realizes that they miss their significant other terribly and that they would do anything to have them back in their life again.
The second verse of the song reveals that the person feels like they are dreaming whenever they see the moon, and that seeing the moon reminds them of the taste of their partner's kiss. At this point, the person notes that they are aware that it's only a dream, but they still can't shake the idea of wanting their loved one back. The line "Como louco eu peço" translates to "Like a crazy person, I beg," demonstrating just how desperately the person wants their lover to come back to them. They remain hopeful that their love will come back to them, and they impress upon the moon to send a message to their loved one and tell them that they still have feelings for them.
