about

first collaboration with thiago amud (lyrics and arrangement), this song reinterprets the joy and turmoil of carnival, drawing from traditional frevo (a northeastern brazil musical style and dance) and a fellinean bitter-sweet atmosphere to give life to an archetypical sad buffoon, whose heart "swirls and dances and kisses and loves in solitude. He becomes a bird and begins to fly and fly. He enjoys his destiny as if he were a child turning his trompo. There he is, stepping on another ground, no watch, no trade. Here we are, laughing at this sad buffoon…"

lyrics

carnaval em agosto

"Irmão das coisas fugidias
não sinto gozo nem tormento.
Atravesso noites e dias
no vento"
- Cecília Meireles


triste folião, à procura de um cordão que não existe
arrastando vãs fantasias, folia sem multidão
nunca desiste do quinhão de alegria
que não encontra na cidade
mas lhe invade a voz, o pé, a mão e o coração
gira e baila e canta e beija e ama sozinho
vira também passarinho e se põe a voar, voar
sabe gozar seu destino,
como fosse um menino rodando peão
ei-lo pisando noutro chão
sem relógio ou profissão (sem país e sem razão)
eis-nos rindo desse triste folião
(eis-nos rindo por um triz)
