Anjo Da Guarda
Tribalistas Lyrics

The lyrics of Tribalistas' song "Anjo da Guarda" (Guardian Angel) reflect the realities of the day-to-day life of the working class. The song starts with the setting of the sun and the guardian angel singing to soothe a baby to sleep. The lyrics "Cacheadinho, anjinho é" (Curly-haired, he is an angel) refer to the innocent beauty of the child, and perhaps also to the idea of a guardian angel watching over the child as he sleeps.

As the song progresses, we see the struggles of the student and the worker. The morning dew that dries up through the day is compared to the sweat of labor. The song touches on the mundane activities of a typical day - waking up early, grabbing a packed lunch or "marmita," and hitting the road to face the challenges of the day. However, in contrast to the difficulties of life, the song also expresses that life is beautiful, and encourages the listener to take it on, to work hard and to appreciate the beauty of life.

Overall, "Anjo da Guarda" is a simple but rather insightful song that highlights the value of hard work, and the importance of perseverance in the midst of life's challenges. The song reminds us that even in our daily grind, we have a responsibility to see the beauty in life and to appreciate the struggle for all its worth.
