It was in 1998 that Bernardo, João, Pedrinho, Ricardo Cotrim (no longer a member of Semente) and other friends, got together for the first time. Back then, Teresa was selecting repertoire for a tribute show she intended to put together in honor of Brazilian music virtuoso Candeia, and handpicking the musicians. Bernardo, at the time a member of group Acorda Bamba, invited band mate Alexandre Bittencourt (who, in turn, invited other musician pals, including Pedrinho, João and Ricardo) to Teresa´s 30th birthday party. That was when the invitation was formalized and well accepted, prompting a routine of meetings between Teresa and the guys to rehearse Candeia´s repertoire, though, in the end, the show never made it to the stage. Still in that year, Teresa and the boys played together for the first time at a show celebrating the International Women´s Day at the Planetário da Gávea theatre. Their premiere on the pulsating night of Lapa, one of Rio de Janeiro´s musical cribs, took place right after this, when Teresa and the group were invited by a certain well known character "Seu Guaracy", of Portela Samba School, to launch the new night music program at local bar Semente, known as a health food place, up until then. It worked out so well that soon Teresa Cristina and Grupo Semente were being called the "rescuers of Lapa´s night life", that had been going down since the eighties. After becoming a hit band playing at Semente, Teresa and the guys went on to perform at other venues in Lapa, such as carioca da Gema and Centro Cultural Carioca, for an ever growing audience. Media recognition came with the release of the first album, a double tribute to Brazilian idol Paulinho da Viola´s 60th birthday, which won Teresa a couple of awards - "Prêmio Rival BR" and "Prêmio Tim"- as "Best New Artist", and a "Best Samba Album" nomination at the 2003 Latin Grammy´s. After that, many were the invitations that took Teresa and Semente all over Brasil and even to Japan, showing the world all the beauty of the good genuine Brazilian music. In 2004, Teresa, Bernardo, Pedrinho and João welcomed Mestre Trambique, coming to replace Ricardo Cotrim, who was leaving the band, and they went in the studio once again to record the band´s second album "A Vida Me Fez Assim" ("Life has Made Me This Way"), which featured Teresa´s premiere as a songwriter. They gathered an excess of overwhelming reviews, and sold-out theatres on which they performed. On that same year, the band hit the road with the "Projeto Pixininguinha" tour, performing at the main cities of the Northeast of Brazil. In 2005, they performed at the "Brazilian Year" Celebrations in Paris, while recording their fist live CD and DVD, suitably titled: "O Mundo é Meu Lugar" ("The World is My Place").

Coração Imprudente
Teresa Cristina Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

O que é que pode fazer
Um coração machucado
Se não cair no chorinho
Bater devagarinho pra não ser notado
E depois de ter chorado
Retirar de mansinho
De todo amor o espinho
Profundamente deixado

O que pode fazer
Um coração imprudente
Se não fugir um pouquinho
De seu bater descuidado
E depois de cair no chorinho

Sofrer de novo o espinho
Deixar doer novamente

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Teresa Cristina's song Coração Imprudente speak to a wounded heart and the struggle to move past the pain. The singer describes the heart as beating slowly and quietly, trying not to draw attention to its suffering. After crying, the heart must carefully remove the thorns of past love, allowing them to hurt deeply but eventually heal.

However, the heart is also described as reckless, making careless decisions that often lead to more pain. It cannot help but fall back into the sorrowful rhythm of the "chorinho" and feel the thorns of love pierce its tender flesh once again.

Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and the universal struggle of letting go of past loves. The heart will inevitably be hurt and scarred, but it must continue beating, even at a slower and more cautious pace.

Coração imprudente (Paulinho Da Viola e José Carlos Capinam)
com Teresa Cristina
O que que pode fazer
Um coração machucado
Senão cair no chorinho
Bater devagarinho pra não ser notado
E depois de ter chorado
Retirar de mansinho
De todo amor o espinho
Profundamente deixado
O que que pode fazer
Um coração machucado
Senão cair no chorinho
Bater devagarinho pra não ser notado
E depois de ter chorado
Retirar de mansinho
De todo amor o espinho
Profundamente deixado
O que pode fazer
Um coração imprudente
Senão fugir um pouquinho
De se eu bater descuidado
E depois de cair no chorinho
Sofrer de novo o espinho
Deixar doer novamente
O que que pode fazer
Um coração machucado
Senão cair no chorinho
Bater devagarinho pra não ser notado
E depois de ter chorado
Retirar de mansinho
De todo amor o espinho
Profundamente deixado
O que pode fazer
Um coração imprudente
Senão fugir um pouquinho
De seu bater descuidado
E depois de cair no chorinho
Sofrer de novo o espinho
Deixar doer novamente
