She left Polygram in 1990, moved to São Paulo and decided to dedicate herself to a less commercial repertoire than that demanded by her former record label. She put together the show "Sobre Todas as Coisas", backed up by Marcos Suzano (percussion) and Lui Coimbra (violin-cello), with whom she toured Brazil. The show was later recorded by the label Eldorado. In 1993, "Valsa Brasileira", with its slick repertoire and expert technical back-up, was released by the label Velas and helped to put her up amongst the leading names on the MPB scene. In 1997, she recorded "Per Amore" – which was a commercial sensation, with its sales boosted by the title track. The following year, she released "Passione", an album Italian songs, only.
Barato Total
Zizi Possi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
tanto faz o quente, tanto faz o frio, tanto faz
que eu me esqueзa do meu compromisso
com isso e aquilo que acontece dez minutos atrбs
Dez minutos atrбs de uma idйia jб deu pra
uma teia de aranha crescer
sua vida na cadeia do pensamento
que de um momento pro outro comeзa a doer
lб...
Quando a gente tб contente, gente a gente quer pegar
Batata pode ser um barato total
Tudo que vocк disser deve fazer bem
Nada que vocк comer deve fazer mal
Quando a gente tб contente, nem pensar que tб contente
Nem pensar que tб contente a gente quer
Nem pensar a gente quer, a gente quer й viver
Zizi Possi's song Barato Total is about living in the moment and enjoying life without thinking too much about the consequences. The song starts with the lyrics "Quando a gente tá contente" which translates to "When we're happy" in English. The overall message of the song is that when we're happy, it doesn't matter if it's hot or cold outside or if we forget our commitments. We should live life to the fullest without worrying about things that happened ten minutes ago.
The next few lines explain how quickly an idea can turn into a negative thought and cause us to feel trapped in our own thoughts. The metaphor of a spiderweb growing from an idea illustrates how quickly negative thoughts can take over our minds. Zizi suggests that we should live our lives with positivity so that we don't fall into the trap of negative thinking.
The chorus encourages us to enjoy everything in life without worrying about the consequences. Whether it's eating potatoes or doing something new, we should take it all in and appreciate the moment. The repetition of the phrase "Quando a gente tá contente" reinforces the importance of being happy and living in the present moment.
Overall, Zizi Possi's Barato Total is a joyful and uplifting song that reminds us to live life to the fullest without worrying about every little detail.
