Eminent Brazilian erudite composers like Radamés Gnattali, Marlos Nobre, Edino Krieger, and Francisco Mignone have dedicated pieces to them and so did Roland Dyens, Nikita Koshkin, and Ástor Piazzolla. Their father, a mandolinist and chorão (choro genre player), initiated them in the mysteries of the violão in 1966. With all the family moving in 1969 to Rio de Janeiro, the two brothers took classical guitarist and lutenist Monina Távora (former Andrés Segovia disciple) as teacher for seven years. In 1973 they won the Brazilian Symphonic Orchestra competition for young soloists. In 1977 they recorded an LP for the first time with the Orquestra Armorial. They would record more than 21 solo albums in the duo's career and appear in important releases such as Yo Yo Ma's Soul of the Tango CD (1997). In 1979 they debuted in the U.S. Their start in Europe came with the winning of a major prize that same year at the "Rostrum of Young Interpreters" in Bratislava, Czechoslovakia (with the recording of a solo album). In 1983, having established their international career solidly, they settled in that continent. Performances (some of them with orchestra) throughout Scandinavia, Australia, Finland (Turku Music Festival, 1987), Great Britain, Turkey (Istambul festival, 1987), Taiwan, Luxembourg, Slovenia, Germany, Austria, Portugal, Greece, Poland, France (Paris, 1982, Les Musiques du Monde festival), Belgium, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Holland, Hong Kong, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Canada, Israel, Japan, Argentina, and Brazil followed. The duo played with the following orchestras, among others: Orquestra Sinfônica Brasileira, Adelaide Symphonic Orchestra (Australia), Buenos Aires Symphonic Orchestra (Argentina), RAI (Italy), and Belgium National Orchestra. In 1993 and 1994 they performed at the Carnegie's Weill Recital Hall in New York. In 1995, they toured North America, performing at Toronto's Ford Centre, Phoenix, Nashville, the Wolf Trap Foundation in Vienna, Virginia, and New York City. In the next year, they played at Pasadena's Ambassador Auditorium and in San Francisco, Seattle, Miami, and New York City.

Postei uma foto com a atual
Fiquei sabendo que minha ex chorou
Postei uma foto com a atual
Fiquei sabendo que minha ex chorou
Suas mensagens não respondidas
É um sinal que tudo acabou
A fila anda e o mundo dá voltas
Eu já estou com um novo amor
E chora, chora bebê
Tô nem aí pra você
E chora, chora bebê
Tô nem aí pra você
E chora, chora bebê
Tô nem aí pra você
E chora, chora bebê
Tô nem aí pra você
Suas fotos e mensagens
Já apaguei do meu celular
Te bloqueei no Instagram
E em todas redes sociais
Te amar pra mim foi um erro
Te esquecer foi bom demais
E chora, chora bebê
Tô nem aí pra você
E chora, chora bebê
Tô nem aí pra você
E chora, chora bebê
Tô nem aí pra você
E chora, chora bebê
Tô nem aí pra você.
The lyrics of Sérgio & Odair Assad's song "Bebê" delve into the theme of moving on from a past relationship and the sense of liberation that comes with it. The singer expresses a sense of satisfaction and vindication upon learning that their ex-partner cried upon seeing a photo of them with someone new. This juxtaposition of emotions highlights a sense of closure and moving forward, as the singer postures themselves as indifferent to the emotional response of their ex. It signifies a shift in power dynamics, with the singer taking control of their own narrative and emotions.
The lyrics also touch upon the idea of unreturned messages as a symbol of the end of a relationship. The singer acknowledges that the lack of responses from their ex signifies the finality of the situation, and they have come to terms with the fact that it is time to move on. The mention of the world turning and the singer finding a new love showcases a sense of optimism and rejuvenation, suggesting that life goes on despite the pain of a breakup.
The act of deleting photos and messages from the past relationship and blocking the ex on social media platforms signifies a conscious effort to cut ties and create a clean break. It symbolizes a desire to erase the memories and move forward without the weight of the past holding them back. The juxtaposition of the singer acknowledging that loving their ex was a mistake but finding freedom in letting go emphasizes the message of self-discovery and growth through the process of heartbreak.
Overall, "Bebê" captures the emotional journey of letting go of a past relationship, finding closure, and embracing a new chapter in life. The repeated refrain of "E chora, chora bebê, Tô nem aí pra você" signifies a sense of emotional detachment and resilience, reflecting the singer's resolve to prioritize their own well-being and happiness. The song ultimately conveys a message of empowerment and self-assurance in the face of heartache and the trials of love.
