Carne
Wado Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Me chamam carne dentro do açougue
Me chamam carne temos açoite
Carne crescida, carne moida, galo de briga
Carne partida, enternecida, carne curtida

Carne em ti comunidade
Carne com terror de carne
Se impõe com o que aceita
Se impõe com o que rejeita

Eram cavernas, eram guaridas
Eram edificios e avenidas
Carne caçada, carne mordida, lei de la vida
Carne prensada, carne en la mesa, carne podrida

Carne em ti comunidade
Carne com terror de carne




Se impõe com o que aceita
Se impõe com o que rejeita

Overall Meaning

The song "Carne" by Wado delves into the various aspects of human existence that can be represented by the concept of "meat" or "flesh". The lyrics suggest that people can be treated as mere commodities, referred to as "meat" inside a butcher shop, and subjected to various forms of abuse and exploitation. The phrases "Carne crescida, carne moida, galo de briga" ("grown meat, ground meat, fighting rooster"), and "Carne partida, enternecida, carne curtida" ("cut meat, tenderized meat, cured meat") indicate the different stages of the meat's life from farm to table.


Additionally, the song portrays a metaphorical dimension of human flesh, suggesting that the ways in which we choose to express ourselves or interact with others reflects the quality of our humanity. The line "Se impõe com o que aceita, se impõe com o que rejeita" ("imposes itself with what it accepts, imposes itself with what it rejects") suggests that people define themselves by what they embrace or reject, and that these choices are crucial in shaping one's sense of self and community.


Overall, "Carne" is a thought-provoking song that reflects on the complexity and importance of human experiences and interactions, reminding us to be mindful of how we treat ourselves and others.
