Born and raised in São Paulo, after winning several "battle of bands" festivals in "sampa", Tiê studied music and composition in New York before touring with Toquinho (a major name on MPB, Bossa Nova) around Brazil and the world. Back in São Paulo, Tiê developed her style by bridging two different worlds: the local alternative/indie scene and the Bossa Nova/Tropicália sounds of the previous generation. Her list of influences range from Caetano Veloso to Syd Barrett.
"Sweet Jardim" ("Sweet Garden") was recorded in an analogical studio with acoustic guitars, cello and piano – and all the silences filled with breathing, exhaling and dialogues among the musicians – all in a lo-fi, live soundscape. Tiê wrote all the ten songs and plays most of the instruments on the record - which was produced by Plínio Profeta.

Tiê Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Só o necessário e se está contente
Tente lembrar quais eram os planos
Se nada mudou com o passar dos anos
E me pergunte o que será do nosso amor?
Descreva pra mim sua latitude
Que eu tento te achar no mapa-múndi
No que escrever e onde quer que me esqueças
E eu te pergunto o que será do nosso amor?
Ah! se eu pudesse voltar atrás
Ah! se eu pudesse voltar.
In Tiê's song "Mapa Mundi," the singer asks the listener to write them a letter without a return address. They only want the necessary details and to know if the listener is satisfied with their current situation. The singer then requests that the listener remember what their plans were and if anything has changed over the years. The chorus then poses the question, "What will become of our love?" and asks the listener to describe their latitude so that the singer can try to find them on the map of the world. The singer asks for a little bit of delicacy in the words and requests that the listener write wherever they want to forget the singer. In the final line of the chorus, the singer repeats the question, "What will become of our love?" and expresses a longing desire to go back in time.
The song "Mapa Mundi" explores themes of distance, longing, and uncertainty in relationships. The use of the map metaphor suggests a physical and emotional distance between the singer and the listener. The song's melancholic tone reflects the singer's uncertain future and the desire to reconnect with the listener.

Me escreva uma carta sem remetente
Só o necessário e se está contente
Tente lembrar quais eram os planos
Se nada mudou com o passar dos anos
E me pergunte: o que será do nosso amor?
Ah! se eu pudesse voltar...
Descreva pra mim sua latitude
Que eu tento te achar no mapa-múndi
Ponha um pouco de delicadeza
No que escrever e onde quer que me esqueças
E eu te pergunto: o que será do nosso amor?
Ah! se eu pudesse voltar atrás
Ah! se eu pudesse voltar.
