Hino das Muriçocas

Mestre Fuba's song "Hino das Muriçocas" is a vibrant tribute to the city of João Pessoa, its natural beauty, and its lively culture. The lyrics paint a picture of a city that dreams of its green landscapes blending with the blue of the sea, highlighting the picturesque scenery that João Pessoa is known for. The mention of the 'cidade velha' (old city) waking up to its ancient song suggests a place rich in history and tradition, where the past and present coexist harmoniously.

The 'muriçocas' (mosquitoes) in the song are not just insects but a metaphor for the people of João Pessoa, spreading joy and energy from Tambaú to the Sanhauá River. The buzzing and humming ('trê-lê-lê' and 'zum, zum, zum') symbolize the lively and infectious spirit of the city's inhabitants, especially during the carnival season. The song invites everyone to embrace the festive atmosphere, warning humorously that the 'muriçocas' will 'bite' you with their enthusiasm and joy.

The repeated phrases 'coça, coça, coça' (scratch, scratch, scratch) and 'é fogo' (it's fire) emphasize the intensity and excitement of the carnival, particularly on 'quarta-feira de fogo' (Wednesday of fire), a significant day in the carnival calendar. The song captures the essence of the carnival's frenetic energy, where no one can resist getting caught up in the dance and celebration. Mestre Fuba's playful and rhythmic lyrics celebrate the unique cultural identity of João Pessoa, inviting everyone to join in the fun and experience the city's vibrant spirit firsthand.
