Eu ja vivo enjoado

The song 'Eu já vivo enjoado' by Mestre Pastinha, a revered figure in the world of Capoeira, reflects a sense of weariness with earthly life and a desire for escape. The lyrics express a longing to leave the troubles of the world behind and find solace in a simpler, more fantastical existence. The mention of going to the moon and building a hut made of sapé (a type of grass) suggests a yearning for a return to basics and a life unencumbered by the complexities of modern living.

The song also touches on themes of disbelief and skepticism. The lines 'eu que nunca acreditei, não posso me conformar' indicate a struggle to accept fanciful ideas, perhaps mirroring the struggle to reconcile the harsh realities of life with the desire for a more idyllic existence. The mention of the moon coming to Earth and vice versa could be a metaphor for the impossible or the unattainable, highlighting the futility of trying to escape one's circumstances.

Finally, the song incorporates elements of Capoeira's ritualistic call and response, with the chorus echoing the lead singer's words. This traditional structure not only roots the song in its cultural context but also emphasizes community and solidarity among those who share the sentiment of the song. The repeated calls to 'viva meu Deus' and 'viva meu Mestre' pay homage to higher powers and teachers, showing respect and reverence within the Capoeira community.
