Bruno Berle - Quero Dizer

Buy Bruno Berle's 'No Reino Dos Afetos' from the links below:

Maceió, the capital of Brazil’s Alagoas state on its sprawling east-coast, is home to pastel coloured colonial houses, white sand beaches and a brilliant young composer, poet and multi-instrumentalist named Bruno Berle.

With a voice of pure gold and a startling sensitivity for heartfelt pop songwriting, on No Reino Dos Afetos (In the Realm of Affections), Berle firmly embraces earnestness, through starry-eyed Brazilian love songs, ambient vignettes, warm, home-cooked beats and gentle strokes of MPB genius.

“It’s an album that was built from my desire to find beauty”, Berle explains - his simple, graceful words mirroring the graceful simplicity in his music. But amongst the simplicity, the compositions, arrangements and productions on No Reino Dos Afetos tingle with nuance and detail.

On the contemporary R&B inspired lead single “Quero Dizer” - produced by Berle and longtime friend and collaborator Batata Boy - the swirling, lo-fi, kalimba and guitar-fronted beat is turned into a feel-good hit by the ingenuity of Berle’s honey-soaked vocal melody.

Powerfully intimate, “O Nome Do Meu Amor” (My Love’s Name) is a guaranteed tearjerker, with Berle’s stunning voice soaring over gently plucked acoustic guitar and the textural flutter of soft movement, as if we hear him writing the song in the moment.

Drawing upon a close-knit, collaborative scene of Maceió artists and musicians, (of which Berle and Batata Boy are vital members), Berle also recorded some of his friends songs on the album, including João Menezes’ “Até Meu Violao”, the album’s beautifully laid back sunshine soul opener, which has all the charm of early-70s João Donato.

Having cut his teeth in soft-rock group Troco em Bala, and more recently finding himself embedded in both Rio and Sao Paulo’s contemporary music scenes - collaborating with the likes of Ana Frango Eletrico, who took the photo for the album cover - No Reino Dos Afetos is as musically diverse as Bruno himself. It’s hazy indie rock (“É Preciso Ter Amor”), calming ambient and field recording (“Virginia Talk”) as well as Berle’s own take on West African High Life (“Som Nyame”).

Instantly recognisable as a truly special artist, Berle’s character fills every corner of the sound, which is unsurprising considering he played most of the instruments.

Lyrics: (not sure if they are 100% correct )
I mean I'm on the way
Where I can't see
Before returning the hidden shine
Behind the sunset

The strength that exists in me to be alive
The color of my voice
That's when I lay down and dream about you

On a peaceful day to say

That where I'm going
Your love
It's the greatest good in everything I see

And wherever you go
With your love
I keep constellations in my chest

For a day with you inside the night
It's like the wind
Like the sun warming me

For a day with you inside the night
It's like the wind
That's all it is to live

For a day with you inside the night
It's like the wind
Like the sun warming me

For a day with you inside the night
It's like the wind
That's all it is to live

I mean I'm on the way
Where I can't see
Before returning the hidden shine
Behind the sunset

The strength that exists in me to be alive
The color of my voice
That's when I lay down and dream about you

On a peaceful day to say

That where I'm going
Your love
It's the greatest good in everything I see

And wherever you go
With your love
I keep constellations in my chest

For a day with you inside the night
It's like the wind
Like the sun warming me

For a day with you inside the night
It's like the wind
That's all it is to live

For a day with you inside the night
It's like the wind
Like the sun warming me

For a day with you inside the night
It's like the wind
That's all it is to live

Quero dizer que estou no caminho
Onde eu não possa ver
Antes de voltar o brilho escondido
Atrás do entardecer

A força que existe em mim de estar vivo
A cor de minha voz
É quando eu me deito e sonho contigo

Num dia tranquilo pra dizer

Que por onde vou
O seu amor
É o bem maior em tudo que eu vejo

E por onde for
Com seu amor
Guardo constelações em meu peito

Pois um dia com você dentro da noite
É como o vento
Como o sol a me aquecer

Pois um dia com você dentro da noite
É como o vento
É tudo isso que é viver

Pois um dia com você dentro da noite
É como o vento
Como o sol a me aquecer

Pois um dia com você dentro da noite
É como o vento
É tudo isso que é viver

Quero dizer que estou no caminho
Onde eu não possa ver
Antes de voltar o brilho escondido
Atrás do entardecer

A força que existe em mim de estar vivo
A cor de minha voz
É quando eu me deito e sonho contigo

Num dia tranquilo pra dizer

Que por onde vou
O seu amor
É o bem maior em tudo que eu vejo

E por onde for
Com seu amor
Guardo constelações em meu peito

Pois um dia com você dentro da noite
É como o vento
Como o sol a me aquecer

Pois um dia com você dentro da noite
É como o vento
É tudo isso que é viver

Pois um dia com você dentro da noite
É como o vento
Como o sol a me aquecer

Pois um dia com você dentro da noite
É como o vento
É tudo isso que é viver
