The other two members were João Ricardo, founder and main songwriter of the group, and Gérson Conrad. Though this classic line-up was short-lived - only two albums were released, one in 1973 and one in 1974 - the band was very successful and remains highly influential. Matogrosso's unusual high-pitched voice helped create a distinct identity as well as the band's eccentric heavy make-up and outfits. As much of the rock made since the Tropicalia, Secos & Molhados' style was one marked by a broad fusion of styles. From 1974 onwards, the group remained active with only João Ricardo as the only steady member. They have released several albums through the years. Their most recent project is an autobiographic cd called "Chato-boy", who has the leader João Ricardo and musician Daniel Iasbeck.

leve como leve pluma
muito leve leve pousa
na simples e suave coisa
suave coisa nenhuma

sombra silêncio ou espuma
nuvem azul que arrejece

simples e suave coisa

suave coisa nenhuma
que em mim amadurece

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Secos & Molhados's song Amor are beautifully complex and poetically written. The singer describes love as being as light as a feather, effortlessly resting upon anything that is simple and soft. The delicate nature of love is highlighted in the repetition of the word "leve," which means light in Portuguese. The singer also mentions how love can mature within him, even if it is something as simple as a shadow, silence or foam.

The phrase "suave coisa" is repeated several times throughout the song, which means gentle thing in Portuguese. The singer seems to be portraying love as something intangible that cannot be held or touched. It is not a physical thing, but rather a feeling that is nurtured internally. The lyric "nuvem azul que arrejece" describes a blue cloud that is dissipating, which is a metaphor for an ephemeral moment of love that is slowly disappearing.

Overall, the lyrics to Amor are introspective and contemplative, reflecting a deep understanding of the complexities of love. Through poetic language and vivid imagery, the singer portrays love as something that is delicate and fleeting, yet still manages to mature within him.

Lembro de mim com 11 anos, sentado em volta de uma mesa, comendo amendoim torrado com casca dentro de um pirex amarelo, bebendo guaraná Antártica num copo americano Nadir, junto com parentes adultos bebendo cerveja, numa sexta-feira a noite de 1973, num bar do Largo do Arouche e essa música tocando numa loja de discos próxima, bons tempos
