Chico was talking about the civic-military dictatorship that began in 1964 with general Castello Branco in charge and in 1985 the republic was established and President Tancredo Neves was elected. Of course there's tons more history into that. But that was just to summarize that it was a different situation than bolsonaro's. Although he tried to establish a civic-military dictatorship when he wasn't reelected he wasn't able to do it.

I remember the crowd singing this song in the streets of every city of Brazil while marching against the government of B0lsonaro in the middle of the pandemic. It was a really crazy feeling to be living so close of something that we learned about in history classes like the dictatorship. So close we were able to understand those songs so vividly. There was a lot of fear, but at the same time a lot of hope when seeing so many people who were aware that we HAD to get out of those dark times. *In those days we sang this song as a prayer.* 😭

[jacamaca]

a curiosity about the song: to overcome the previous censorship, Chico wrote lyrics longer than the content he intended to record, implying that it was a love story instead of a protest song. He also used a false name, the pseudonym "Julinho da Adelaide" because his name was heavily targeted by censors.

[SrBebbo]

This question that you bring up about the joy of the rhythm and if you didn't know the lyrics you wouldn't understand what the song is about and would be dancing to the song is something very crucial in Brazilian subjectivity. Since the colonial era, with slavery, it had the need to use religious and cultural syncretism to be able to express its existence. The slaves made rodas ("circles") and danced capoeira or prayed while masquerading as dances were actually forms of resistance. During the dictatorship, happy music was a way to express hatred and anger at what was happening on a daily basis. In other words, hiding your true feelings with joy is something that is part of Brazilian culture. When foreigners bring that we are the country of joy, carnival and football. I say that we are the country that despite all the anger and suffering that has been caused to us, we will not lower our heads and show that we will be sad for their wickedness, nor will we forget it.

In time, Chico Buarque is a great poet of the Portuguese language, even awarded with the Camoes Prize in Portugal. The lyrics of his songs use all possible resources of the Portuguese language.

The lesson in old samba and bossa is not to forget laughing while crossing hell or living through injustice. Laughing and loving means to forget the world thats is trying to make you forget how to laugh and love. And that is why its those musics are so powerful, that is why its a weapon.

[tamagoxi]

As you already know it's a song about the dictatorship at the time in Brazil. But how did this pass censorship? The cover up is this lyrics can be interpreted as a love song, as a person that was hurt by their toxic lover and is angry and promises payback. Yeah, censors weren't very smart...

[leticialicheta]

Everytime I see any Portuguese song translated to English I can only feel how the Brazilian portuguese is DEEP in poetry and how this language is beautiful and if you don't understand Portuguese you will never understand it fully.

[saviown]

Its Good to remeber that Chico dad was one of the most important historians of Brasil History. So is family background was impressive that why HE could make songs like this in THAT time whitout disapiring and i’m glad he did.

[ianmarcossavegnago]

13:06 when you talked about how the state and some people didn't notice how beautiful the music is reminded me of a moment that happened on the last 6 years, the suporters of Bolsonaro where marching and "protesting" for a military intervention and where singing this song and other Chicos songs but didn't realized that the songs where completely against what they where wanting and asking

[carlosvitor]

Brother, let me try to clear you out. The movie clip is new, bolsonaro was still an army soldier probably back when the song was released. But the creator of the movie clip used him as an example because bolsonaro claimed dictatorship was good and if he could he would bring it back. But no, chico didnt write it with no relation with bolsonaro. The many relations he does to the nature and metaphors were just to have his songs not censored. Many of his songs are talking about dictatorship indirectly to avoid being censored. Like "Calice"(glass for wine), that has the same sound as "cale-se"(shut up), in this song he sings: Pai, afasta de mim esse CALICE, de vinho tinto de sangue. " Father, take away from me this Glass of blood red wine. If you switch the words it would say: "Father, dont let them shut me up". But the censorship only receied the lyrics written, so he wrote calice and the song had a whole different meaning for the censors. While live, he used to shout loud: CALE-SE!(SHUT UP). It's chico. Another thing, instead of: in spite of you, tomorrow will be another day, I guess that would fit better: a new day.

it is so good watch gringos appreciate our artist... chico is a giant!
this is the real samba! ^^

[Vrealita]

Beautiful! Chico is also a sound composer of love songs, aside from social commentary ones or political ones! He have quite a few written from the perspective of a woman indeed, such as Meu Guri, Olhos nos Olhos, Pedaço de Mim.

[olavoaraujo]

This song, in a lyrical way, sends a message to the military who were implementing the dictatorship in Brazil: a big f... We will survive your dictatorship

[doginHGx]

Exactly, during the military dictatorship in Brazil, censorship was extremely strict, each person had their time away from home until their return, as determined by the police, and the way that artists/musicians found to criticize this was in an indirect and self-interpretative way.

"Apesar de você amanhã há de ser outro dia"

I love this song

[wordsonasmarphone]

Loving the comments sharing our history. Nice to get to know your channel ❤

[rdrodas]

You will love meeting Gonzaguinha, another great artist of those times. Try " E Vamos a Luta" (and let's fight)

[hfentanes]

I just found your channel and already loved your way to react to the songs. That's the second video I'm watching, the first one was Contrução. Before and now it's super interesting watch your expressions when the rithm changes or when you get the real meaning of the lyrics. The smirk is so point on that I talk to the video "yeah, did you notice that?" lmao keep going, you have a new subscriber

Mark React to João e Maria - Chico Buarque It's a beautiful song
