Cigarra
Simone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Como a cigarra arrebenta de tanta luz
E enche de som o ar
Porque a formiga é a melhor amiga da cigarra
Raízes da mesma fábula que ela arranha
Tece e espalha no ar
Essa canção é para cantar
Como a cigarra acende o verão
E ilumina o ar
Si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si
In "Cigarra," Simone sings about the power of music and its ability to brighten up our lives, just like the cicada's chirping fills the air with sound and light. In the first verse, she explains that someone asked her for a song to sing, and she decided to write one about the cicada, whose singing breaks through the brightness of the sun and creates a beautiful symphony of sound. She highlights the significance of songwriting as a form of expression and an outlet for artists to share their stories with the world.
In the second verse, Simone compares the cicada to the ant, who is its close friend in the same fable that both creatures belong to. The ant is seen as a symbol of hard work and dedication, while the cicada is associated with carefree living and the enjoyment of the moment. Despite their differences, these two creatures are portrayed as equals, each with their own unique strengths and values that they bring to the world. Simone emphasizes the importance of treating everyone with respect and understanding, even if they seem different from us.
Ending with the refrain of "si, si, si, si," Simone repeats the message of the song: that music has the power to lighten up even the darkest parts of our hearts, just like the singing cicada illuminates the summer sky.

Porque você pediu uma canção para cantar
Because you asked for a song to sing
Como a cigarra arrebenta de tanta luz
Like the cicada bursting with so much light
E enche de som o ar
And fills the air with sound
Porque a formiga é a melhor amiga da cigarra
Because the ant is the cicada's best friend
Raízes da mesma fábula que ela arranha
Rooted in the same fable that she scratches
Tece e espalha no ar
Weaves and spreads in the air
Porque ainda é inverno em nosso coração
Because it is still winter in our heart
Essa canção é para cantar
This song is for singing
Como a cigarra acende o verão
Like the cicada ignites the summer
E ilumina o ar
And illuminates the air
Si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si
Si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si

Testo:
Por que você pediu
Uma canção para cantar
Como a cigarra arrebenta de tanta luz
E enche de som o ar
Por que a formiga
É a melhor amiga da cigarra
Raízes da mesma fábula
E ela arranha, tece e espalha no ar
Porque ainda é inverno em nosso coração
Essa canção é para cantar
Como a cigarra acende o verão
E ilumina o luar
Zi,zi,zi,zi,zi,zi,zi,zi,...

Sempre ouço esta música, e sinto saudades de uma fase fantástica da MPB. As décadas de ouro 70 e 80, tinha letra e melodia que prestavam para se ouvir, hoje tá tudo tão descartável, infelizmente.
