Aos Meus Heróis

It's been a long time since I wrote anything,
I think it's because the TV was on
I forgot that I must find a way out
And use words to change your life.

I want to make a more delicate song,
Without criticizing, without attacking, without hitting,
But I can't agree with this system
And I want to open your mind to my theme.

Let it be clear, youth is not to blame.
It's the electronics messing with your head.
I also like to dance to the heavy beat,
But it's healthy to give you another option.

My heroes are silent right now,
Because they have already made and written their story.
Slowly I'm finding my space,
But I don't forget the richness of the past.

I want Vinícius de Morais' blessing,
Belchior singing 'like our parents',
And Gil talking about Flamengo,
What is our Chico writing?

Those 'roses' no longer speak of Cartola
And Cazuza 'picking you up at school'.
I miss Jobim with his piano,
Fábio Jr. with his '20-something years'.

If Renato had his 'lost time',
The King Roberto 'once again' the most beloved.
Oswaldo Montenegro's 'agony'
Seeing that the door no longer holds secrets.

Having the 'luck' to listen to Taiguara
And Ivan Lins' 'Madalena', a rare beauty.
Seeing Alceu's 'tropicana brunette',
Marisa Monte telling me 'kiss me'
Kiss me, Kiss me Let me be me
Kiss me, kiss me let me be me

Zé Rodrix in his 'house in the countryside'
Took Geraldo to sing on the 'white day'.
On Zé Ramalho's 'chalk floor' I wrote
I saw Lulu, Benjor, Tim Maia, and Rita Lee.

Asking Beto for a new 'spring sun',
Seeing Toquinho touching up the 'watercolor',
Hearing Milton 'there at the corner club'
Singing alongside Queen Elis Regina.

I want 'without handkerchief and document' Caetano
Djavan showing the color of the 'ocean'.
I'll 'walk and sing' with Vandré
And the other life, Gonzaguinha, 'what is it?'

Attention DJ do your part,
Don't copy others, be more 'smart'.
On the radio or on the dance floor change the sequence,
Stir people and consciousness.

If you don't play intelligent lyrics
You're dominated, limited in mind.
Make DJ reflect, don't forget,
Move the booty, but also the mind.
