about

“i sing for redemption when love doesn’t pay off...” says one of the verses of this farewell song. the theme, as well as the musical structure are traditional: rio´s own samba-canção (slow samba). here we have one of the most frequent challenges claroescuro sets out to unravel: creating a fresh, personal approach to the ever rich and generous forms from tradition. “memories emanate in the air, but I live for a mission, and drink to celebrate whatever god allows me to”

lyrics

Canção da despedida

"Puedo escribir los versos más tristes esta noche.
Yo la quise, y a veces ella también me quiso."
- Pablo Neruda

calo, não há mais nada pra ser dito
lá fora o dia tão bonito, e ainda tanto por fazer, ai
dentro, a fibra tensa, a fé cansada
penso e falo. é o fim de toda desavença
quando já não se espera nada

vai teu conto de fadas, pela cidade imensa
os sonhos ficaram pra trás,
alguns se fizeram canção
eu canto pela redenção quando amar não compensa

volto aos meus camaradas, numa saudade aflita
lembranças evolam no ar,
mas vivo por uma missão
e bebo pra comemorar o que deus me permita
