Hoje Eu Tava Pensando Em Casa

In 'Hoje Eu Tava Pensando Em Casa,' Professor Pretinho delves into the themes of family, home, and the wisdom passed down through generations. The song opens with the artist reflecting on his grandmother's teachings, emphasizing the importance of family. The repeated line, 'Que dizia que o filho que tem família, pois nessa vida ele nunca fica só,' translates to 'She said that a child who has a family, in this life, he is never alone.' This sentiment underscores the idea that family provides a sense of belonging and support, no matter where life takes you.

The song also highlights the role of mentors and teachers, likening them to family members who offer guidance and correction. The line, 'O mestre serve para te dar conselho, puxar orelha quando estiver errado,' means 'The master serves to give you advice, to pull your ear when you are wrong.' This metaphor extends the concept of family beyond blood relations, suggesting that communities, like those formed around Capoeira, can also offer familial support and wisdom.

Professor Pretinho further explores the idea of home as a place of return and comfort. He advises listeners to travel the world but reminds them that 'A melhor viagem é na hora de voltar,' or 'The best journey is the moment of returning.' This line encapsulates the song's message that no matter how far you roam, the sense of home and family remains a constant source of comfort and grounding. The song serves as a heartfelt reminder of the enduring power of familial bonds and the importance of staying connected to one's roots.
