Teatro Mágico – Lyrics Practice Posted by on Oct 11, 2010 in Music

It’s a long weekend in Brazil, tomorrow is Children’s Day & Dia de Nossa Senhora Aparecida, our patron saint’s celebration day.  But all over the country, everyone’s talking about  “SWU – Starts With You,” a 3 day festival that’s taking place in Ítu, São Paulo, a couple hours outside the city, a sustainability awareness festival and the concert of the year with huge acts coming in from all over the world.  I was fortunate enough to attend yesterday and although today I’m exhausted, I figured I’d share a song from one of the national acts that came yesterday, O Teatro Mágico. They’re a band whose members paint their faces like mimes and other fun characters, and they’re really pretty good!  It’s a great band to learn Portuguese using their lyrics and the best part is they have all their albums available for download for free!

Here goes the  lyrics and a video to one of their songs:

O dia mente a cor da noite
E o diamante a cor dos olhos
Os olhos mentem dia e noite a dor da gente”

Enquanto houver você do outro lado
Aqui do outro eu consigo me orientar
A cena repete a cena se inverte
Enchendo a minh’alma d’aquilo que outrora eu deixei de acreditar

Tua palavra, tua história
Tua verdade fazendo escola
E tua ausência fazendo silêncio em todo lugar

Metade de mim
Agora é assim
De um lado a poesia, o verbo, a saudade
Do outro a luta, a força e a coragem pra chegar no fim
E o fim é belo incerto… depende de como você vê
O novo, o credo, a fé que você deposita em você e só

Só enquanto eu respirar
Vou me lembrar de você
Só enquanto eu respirar

Hope you all had a great weekend yourselves!
