Samba-Enredo 1995 - O Que É Bom É Para Sempre
G.R.E.S. Gaviões Da Fiel (SP)
A Timeless Celebration: The Eternal Joy of Samba
The song 'O Que É Bom É Para Sempre' by G.R.E.S. Gaviões Da Fiel (SP) is a vibrant and nostalgic celebration of samba and carnival, capturing the essence of joy, community, and timeless memories. The lyrics invite listeners to join in a jubilant journey, symbolized by the act of holding hands and embracing, as they metaphorically travel to the sky. This imagery reflects the uplifting and transcendent nature of samba, which elevates the spirit and brings people together in celebration.
The song pays homage to the 'jubileu de prata' or silver jubilee, marking a significant milestone for the Gaviões Da Fiel. This celebration is not just a personal achievement but a communal one, inviting the 'massa' or the masses to join in the festivities. The mention of a triumphant goal and the roar of the crowd highlights the collective euphoria and pride that comes with shared victories, whether in sports or in life.
Nostalgia plays a crucial role in the song, as it reminisces about childhood dreams and fantasies, where the world was a kingdom of toys and poetry. This longing for the past is intertwined with a deep, genuine love, expressed through the desire to take someone to infinity and kiss them in the most beautiful way. The song also evokes the timeless characters of carnival—Pierrot, Harlequin, and Columbina—who symbolize the playful and whimsical spirit of the festival. The call to samba and get entangled in serpentine streamers is an invitation to lose oneself in the joy and laughter of carnival, where everyone becomes the 'rei do riso' or king of laughter, and the soul is cleansed by the rhythm of the drums.
'O Que É Bom É Para Sempre' is a testament to the enduring power of good memories and the unifying force of samba. It celebrates the past, revels in the present, and looks forward to a future filled with love, joy, and community.
